sails-generate-raml-scaffolding v0.1.2

sails-generate-raml-scaffolding

A tool for generating Sails models from RESTful API Modeling Language specification.

This is not intended to produce a working implementation of an API, or even working code in most cases, instead the result is simply meant to serve as a quickstart basis for a new project.

Features

• creates a model for each RAML resource
• maps formParameters from post actions to model attributes
• if Sails blueprints are configured to pluralize will rename models accordingly
• maps several RAML attribute properties to one recognized by Waterline
• parses RAML resource description field for annotations prefixed by @wl-, and inserts them in the model attribute definition (see here for supported properties), rest of the description is added as javascript comment

Planned features

• generating placeholder code for controllers and policies

Known issues

• identifying resources is naive and is likely to contain issues, e.g. collisions
• practically no validation is done to verify RAML description fields or the code injected in to the model files
• overwrites attributes of existing models if one with same name is parsed from RAML

In other words, be cautious, do not run in a project with uncommitted code of any value.
