Entity _options dates

[nowackipawel]

When I am trying to add $_options = ['cast' => []]; to one of my class which contains entity and additionally I don't wanna define dates configuration... CI is returning an exception and made me to define it (dates cfg for entity):
Type: ErrorException Message: Undefined index: dates Filename: /home/zdamy/site/system/Entity.php Line Number: 176
(I am a huge fan of writing CLI application but I am sure the same is happening during normal requests).

That's because you're overwriting the entire $_options array, and not providing the default values it expects to be there.

I know what is causing this error but you should prevent it if in the documentation there is the example like this:

class User extends Entity
{
protected $id;
protected $name; // Represents a full name now
protected $email;
protected $password;
protected $created_at;
protected $updated_at;

protected $_options = [
    'datamap' => [
        'full_name' => 'name'
    ]
];

}

or just change the docs :)

/sorry there is no way to format code in this form from mobile device.

Just changing the docs is the way to go here :)
