Yeoman generator
To install generator-sails-plugin-hook from npm, run:
npm install -g generator-sails-plugin-hookFinally, initiate the generator:
yo sails-plugin-hookIt generates a scaffold of a Sails Plugin Hook, which is simply a sails installable hook ( http://sailsjs.org/#!/documentation/concepts/extending-sails/Hooks/installablehooks.html ) with some aditional plugin features that allows its files to be merged upon sails lift process.
The generated plugin was developed to use the same app anatomy as a Sails App ( http://sailsjs.org/#!/documentation/anatomy/myApp ), but it has only support for Controllers, Models, Policies, Services and config:
sails-hook-your-hook-name
...
|_api
|__controllers
|__models
|__policies
|__services
|_config
...You would create your files in these folders just as you would create files in a newly created Sails App.
Once your hook-plugin has been installed in a Sails App, those files would be merged into sails upon lift process.
