Automated generator models, views and controllers for SailsJS & WaterLine

Sails Inverse Model helps you build models, controllers and views JS Sails from any database. In addition, you can quickly and individually generate each model, view, controller or all three at the same time.

Available for PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB

Installation

Linux or MacOS

$ sudo npm install sails-inverse-model -g

Microsoft Windows

$ npm install sails-inverse-model -g

Individual generation

You can quickly generate a model, a controller, a view or these three at the same time simply define the attributes of your model. Let's look at an example:

# Generate model
$ sails-inverse-model -g model --name Pet -a "name:string:r:u owner:string"

# Generate Controller
$ sails-inverse-model -g controller --name Pet -a ""

# Generate View
$ sails-inverse-model -g view --name Pet -a "name:string:r owner:string"

# Generate all (Model, View and Controller)
$ sails-inverse-model -g all --name Pet -a "name:string:r:k owner:string"

Detail

Param	Description
g	Generate view, model, controller
name	Name: model, driver, and view folder
a	Content of the element to generate
name:string:params	Attribute name: data type: params

Specifies the type of data that will be stored in this attribute. Here

Params

Param	Description	Example
r	Required	catname:string:r
u	Unique	catname:string:u
a	Autoincrement	index:integer:a
k	Primary Key	index:integer:k

You can also set all three parameters at the same time, for example: index:integer:a:u:r

Example

sails-inverse-model -g model --name Pet -a "index:integer:r:u:a name:string:r:u owner:string:r"
/*
=>
  module.exports = {
      attributes: {
          index: {                -> index
              type: 'integer',    -> :integer 
              required: true,     -> :r
              unique: true,       -> :u 
              autoincrement: true -> :a
          },
          name: {
              type: 'string',
              required: true,
              unique: true
          },
          owner: {
              type: 'string',
              required: true
          }
      }
  };

  ====================== Individual generation ==================
  You can quickly generate a model, a controller, a view or these three at the same time.
  # Generate model
  $ sails-inverse-model -g model --name Pet -a "name:string:r:u owner:string"

  # Generate Controller
  $ sails-inverse-model -g controller --name Pet -a "name:string:r:u owner:string"

  # Generate View
  $ sails-inverse-model -g view --name Pet -a "name:string:r owner:string"

  # Generate all (Model, View and Controller)
  $ sails-inverse-model -g all --name Pet -a "name:string:r:k owner:string"

  Where:
  --------------------------------------------
  |Param | Description   |     Example       |
  |------|---------------|-------------------|
  |   r  | Required      | catname:string:r  |
  |   u  | Unique        | catname:string:u  |
  |   a  | Autoincrement | index:integer:a   |
  |   k  | Primary Key   | index:integer:k   |
  --------------------------------------------
  You can also set all three parameters at the same time, for example: index:integer:a:u:r

MySQL

$ sails-inverse-model -u root -p root -d mydbmysql -m -v -c

MySQL from file .sql

$ sails-inverse-model -f /your/path/to/script.sql -m -v -c

PostgreSQL

$ sails-inverse-model -u postgres -p root -d almacen -t pg -m -v -c

MongoDB

Import

Install package

$ npm install sails-inverse-model --save

Generate from MySQL

var sim = require('sails-inverse-model');

var config = {
  host: "localhost",
  database: "almacen",
  user: "root",
  pass: "root",
  port: 3306
}

var folder_controllers = "/your/project/sails/api/"; //if folder_models == "" then: no generate controllers
var folder_models = "/your/project/sails/api/"; //if folder_models == "" then: no generate models
var folder_views = "/your/project/sails/"; //if folder_models == "" then: no generate views

sim.generatemy(config, folder_models, folder_controllers, folder_views, plurallang);

Generate from PostgreSQL

var sim = require('sails-inverse-model');

var config = {
  host: "localhost",
  database: "example",
  user: "postgres",
  pass: "root",
  port: 5432,
  schema: "public"
}

var folder_controllers = "/your/project/sails/api/"; //if folder_models == "" then: no generate controllers
var folder_models = "/your/project/sails/api/"; //if folder_models == "" then: no generate models
var folder_views = "/your/project/sails/"; //if folder_models == "" then: no generate views

sim.generatepg(config, folder_models, folder_controllers, folder_views, plurallang);

Generate from MongoDB

var sim = require('sails-inverse-model');

var folder_controllers = "/your/project/sails/api/"; //if folder_models == "" then: no generate controllers
var folder_models = "/your/project/sails/api/"; //if folder_models == "" then: no generate models
var folder_views = "/your/project/sails/"; //if folder_models == "" then: no generate views

//                host       port         database           views         models        controllers
sim.generatemg('localhost', 27017, 'my_name_collection', folder_views, folder_models, folder_controllers);

Then navigate to the output folder and can find the js generated.
