sails-hook-blueprint-utils

npm version

Adds utility methods to Sails API blueprints.

Installation

In Sails.js v0.11+ installed hooks are run automatically. Therefore, simply install the hook via npm:

npm install --save sails-hook-blueprint-utils

Create config/installedHooks.js

module.exports.installedHooks = {
   "sails-hook-blueprint-utils": {
      "name": "blueprintUtils",
      "configKey": "blueprintUtils"
   }
}

If you want to use a policy, add it to your sails.config:

    ...

    blueprintUtils: {
        policy: 'isAllowed'
    }

    ...

Right now only one policy is supported.
