Ahh, apologies misread the tree. In terms of the nuance around a mixin vs object - a mixin can be defined and tested in its own separate library independent of your data model, so it's at least cleaner in terms of separation of concerns.

That’s fair. My issue with the mixin approach is that then your app code can hit the database from anywhere you have access to the model object, which makes testing your own code in isolation much more difficult
