Generators

Status

Stability: 2 - Unstable

The API is in the process of settling, but has not yet had sufficient real-world testing to be considered stable.

Backwards-compatibility will be maintained if reasonable.

Purpose

What is my purpose in this world?

Generators are designed to make it easier to customize the sails new and sails generate command-line tools, and provide better support for different Gruntfiles, configuration options, view engines, coffeescript, etc.

Structure

A generator has either:

(1) a generate method, or

(2) a configure + render method (render may be omitted in the simplest of cases)

Sails

	app (appPath + name)
		<- view
		<- folder
		<- jsonfile
		<- file

	api (appPath + name)
		<- controller
		<- model

	controller (appPath + template + name)
		<- file

	model (appPath + template + name)
		<- file

	view (appPath + template + name)
		<- file

	file (destination + name + template + data)

	jsonfile (destination + name + data)
	
	folder (destination + name)
