Types in data models

Use Entity class with cast functions. Apply $returnType in models SomeEntity::class
For return all properties typed use method toArray()

I don't need and don't want to use `Entity` class
That's much of extra code and overcomplication for a simple natural feature

cl

Code:

class User extends Entity
{
    protected $casts = [
        'options'        => 'array',
        'options_object' => 'json',
        'options_array'  => 'json-array',
    ];
}

This casting from Entity can be used in Model
