So,

I\'m in the middle of implementing a plugin api for my application, and the plugins can have their own models, imagine this.

SimplePlugin = {
    pl

    What are you trying to do is not easy and a bit messy with Sails in the current state of the project. I'm referring to the v0.10 version. What you'll have to do is

    1. Inject the model definition found in SimplePlugin.SimpleModel into sails.models
    2. Inject a dummy controller for the model with _config: { rest: true }

    Please note that the code examples I posted are taken from a custom Sails hook I am working on and assume access to sails and the code examples to be executed during the loadHooks phase of Sails initialization / before the MiddlewareRegistry phase (compare: lib/app/load.js).

    1. Inject model definition

    Following the hints in the orm hook in Sails v0.10 you have to:

    • Get the models and adapters defined in api, merge your new model into the dictionary
    • Normalize the model definitions via sails.hooks.orm.normalizeModelDef
    • Load the normalized model definitions into Waterline
    • Unload exisisting adapter connections via teardown
    • Reinitialize Waterline
    • Expose the initialized Waterline collections to sails and the global scope via sails.hooks.orm.prepareModels (previously: sails.hooks.orm.exposeModels, changed with: 8d96895662)

    Because you have to reinitialize Waterline and reload all model definitions I'd recommend to collect all model definitions to inject and pass them to the inject function once. The example code below reflects this.

    ...
    
    function injectPluginModels(pluginModels, cb) {
      // copy sails/lib/hooks/orm/loadUserModules to make it accessible here
      var loadUserModelsAndAdapters = require('./loadUserModules')(sails);
    
      async.auto({
        // 1. load api/models, api/adapters
        _loadModules: loadUserModelsAndAdapters,
    
        // 2. Merge additional models,  3. normalize model definitions
        modelDefs: ['_loadModules', function(next){
          _.each(additionModels, function(aditionModel) {
             _.merge(sails.models, additionalModel);
          });
    
          _.each(sails.models, sails.hooks.orm.normalizeModelDef);
          next(null, sails.models);
        }],
    
        // 4. Load models into waterline, 5. tear down connections, 6. reinitialize waterline
        instantiatedCollections: ['modelDefs', function(next, stack){
          var modelDefs = stack.modelDefs;
    
          var waterline = new Waterline();
          _.each(modelDefs, function(modelDef, modelID){
            waterline.loadCollection(Waterline.Collection.extend(modelDef));
          });
    
          var connections = {};
    
          _.each(sails.adapters, function(adapter, adapterKey) {
            _.each(sails.config.connections, function(connection, connectionKey) {
              if (adapterKey !== connection.adapter) return;
              connections[connectionKey] = connection;
            });
          });
    
          var toTearDown = [];
    
          _.each(connections, function(connection, connectionKey) {
            toTearDown.push({ adapter: connection.adapter, connection: connectionKey });
          });
    
          async.each(toTearDown, function(tear, callback) {
             sails.adapters[tear.adapter].teardown(tear.connection, callback);
          }, function(){
             waterline.initialize({
               adapters: sails.adapters,
               connections: connections
             }, next)
          });
        }],
    
        // 7. Expose initialized models to global scope and sails
        _prepareModels: ['instantiatedCollections', sails.hooks.orm.prepareModels]
    
      }, cb);
    };
    
    ...
    

    Would allow you to:

    // Read your plugins
    ...
    
    var pluginModels = // Get all the plugin models
    injectPluginModels(pluginModels, function(){
      // Plugin models now available via global[pluginModel.globalId] and sails.models[pluginModel.identity]
    });
    

    2. Inject controller

    For each model that should be exposed via blueprint methods you have to:

    • Create a controller definition with matching identity and enabled blueprints
    • Save controller to sails.controllers[controllerId]
    • Save controller to sails.hooks.controllers.middleware[controllerId]

    The Sails MiddlewareRegistry will automatically pick up the controllers found in these objects.

    function mountBlueprintsForModels(pluginModels) {
      _.each(pluginModels, function(pluginModel){
        var controller = _.cloneDeep(pluginModel);
        controller._config = { rest: true };
    
        var controllerId = pluginModel.identity;
    
        if (!_.isObject(sails.controllers[controllerId])) {
          sails.controllers[controllerId] = controller;
        }
    
        if (!_.isObject(sails.hooks.controllers.middleware[controllerId])) {
          sails.hooks.controllers.middleware[controllerId] = controller;
        }
      });
    }
    

    3. In action

    // E.g. in /api/hooks/plugins/index.js
    /*
     * Module dependencies
     */
    
    var async = require('async'),
        _ = require('lodash'),
        waterline = require('waterline');
    
    module.exports = function(sails) {
    
      // injectPluginModels and mountBlueprintsForModels defined here
      ...
    
      return {
    
        initialize: function(cb) {
          sails.after('hook:orm:loaded', function() {
            yourNiftyPluginLoader(function(err, plugins) {
              // assuming plugin.models holds array of models for this plugin
              // customize for your use case
              var pluginModels = _.pluck(plugins, 'models');
              injectPluginModels(pluginModels, cb);
              mountBlueprintsForModels(pluginModels);
            });
          });
        }
    
      }
    
    }

    In v0.12 sails.hooks.orm.normalizeModelDef doesn't exists anymore. Also sails/lib/hooks/orm/loadUserModules went to the sails-hook-orm npm module and is not longer part of sails.

    EDIT: not working completely since collections are assigned to connections at initialization.

    Seems that there is a better solution, with 3 lines of code and without disconnecting/reconnecting databases. I just studied the source code of Waterline (see https://github.com/balderdashy/waterline/blob/master/lib/waterline.js#L109). It's possible to do something like:

    var Waterline = require('waterline');
    
    // Other dependencies
    var Schema = require('waterline-schema');
    var CollectionLoader = require('waterline/lib/waterline/collection/loader');
    
    var orm = new Waterline();
    
    var config = {
        // Setup Adapters
        // Creates named adapters that have have been required
        adapters: {
            'default': 'mongo',
            mongo: require('sails-mongo')
        },
    
        // Build Connections Config
        // Setup connections using the named adapter configs
        connections: {
            'default': {
                adapter: 'mongo',
                url: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/sausage'
            }
        }
    };
    
    orm.initialize(config, function(err, data) {
        if (err) {
            throw err;
        }
    
        // ORM initialized, let's add another model dynamically
        var User = Waterline.Collection.extend({
           identity: 'user',
            connection: 'default',
    
            attributes: {
                first_name: 'string',
                last_name: 'string'
            }
        });
        orm.loadCollection(User);
    
        var defaults = config.defaults || {};
    
        // This is where the magic happens
        var loader = new CollectionLoader(User, orm.connections, defaults);
        var collection = loader.initialize(orm);
        orm.collections[collection.identity.toLowerCase()] = collection;
    
        // Done! You can now use orm.collections.user :-D
    });

    surprised sails doesn't support this in 2018: I have continued the above package with a fork ( @eyn answer) with updates that work for sails v1.x.x.

    https://github.com/emahuni/sails-util-micro-apps

    I changed it to that coz I am changing a lot of thing in that package. Instead of loading just models and controllers i want to it to load whole apps, mini-apps for a micro service architecture in sails. This is such that you can make mini-apps that can be joined together to form one large app out of reusable apis code.

    Try this: "Load models, controllers, services, policies and config from specified directories and inject them into the main Sails app."
