How to generate model from exists database in Sails JS?

问题

I begin with SailsJS and MySQL, and I have many tables in my database. So, I don't know that in SailsJS has a tool to generate models from database like Database First in Entity Framework (ASP)

回答1:

You should use, it's very good to auto generate model base DB existing.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/sails-generate-models

回答2:

SailsJS does not have such a tool implemented.

Though, it should not be hard to create that yourself since MySQL's SHOW COLUMNS FROM table works quite well. Then you'd just have to create the .js model files.

Be wary of the configuration in config/models.js and set migrate to safe as you might drop some columns if you haven't tested and are not sure if you've generated the models correctly.

Have a look at Sails Inverse Model

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.

Install using command

npm install sails-inverse-model -g

To know the tool

sails-inverse-model --help

  Example:
$ mkdir sails-output
$ cd sails-output
$ sails-inverse-model -u postgres -p root -d almacen -t pg -m -v -c

User         : postgres
Password     : root
Database     : almacen
Host         : localhost
Models       : /home/julian/Documents/sails-output/models
Views        : /home/julian/Documents/sails-output/views
Controllers  : /home/julian/Documents/sails-output/controllers
DB           : pg
Schema (pg)  : public
=====================================
Views [OK]
=====================================
Models [OK]
=====================================
Controllers [OK]

  Note: Copy models      => your/project_sails/api
        Copy controllers => your/project_sails/api
        Copy views/*     => your/project_sails/views/

Then: 


$ cd your/project_sails/
$ sails lift

====================== 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
