-- otherwise the hooks will never invoke!

	-- OnRemove is invoked before the component and its value is removed
	-- which provides a stable reference to the entity at deletion.
	-- This means that it is safe to retrieve the data inside of a hook
	local model = world:get(entity, Model)

world:set(Model, jecs.OnAdd, function(entity, id, model)
	-- OnAdd is invoked after the data has been assigned.
	-- This hook only fires the first time the component is added.
	-- It also returns the data for faster access.
	-- There may be some logic to do some side effects on reassignments
	model:SetAttribute("entityId", entity)
