// Model class for each collection
class User implements PocketBaseRecord {
  @override
  final String id;
  final String email;
  final String name;
  final DateTime created;
  final DateTime updated;

  // Constructor, fromMap, toMap, copyWith, ==, hashCode
}

// Helper class with static api() method
abstract final class Users {
  static CollectionHelper<User> api([PocketBase? pocketbaseInstance]) =>
      CollectionHelper(
        pocketBaseInstance: pocketbaseInstance,
        collection: 'users',
        mapper: User.fromMap,
      );
}
