grunt-sailsStaticType

Generate POJO's from sails models to use for intellisense

If you are using Visual Studio (or other IDE's with code completion), the poco's will give you strongly typed objects to work with. You can use the generated pocos like this in your sails controllers:

var _User = require('../models/_User');

...

var user = new _User();
user.name = 'new user';
user.email = '[email protected]';

User.create(user);

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.4

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-sailsStaticType --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-sailsStaticType');
