fromSnapshot equivalent to new?

[maccman]

Question: I've instantiating a model from some attributes fetched from the server. I've switched to using a constructor rather than fromSnapshot because I want the defaults props to be set.

Is new Note(serverProps) practically the same as fromSnapshot<Note>(serverProps)?

Yes, except from snapshot requires $modelType / $modelId and submodels are plain objects for fromSnapshot while they have to be actual instances for the constructor.

Btw, the default props should be set either way
