sails: Generate Sails Controller.
$ sails generate controller ${name}
try on your machine
The command "sails generate controller ${name}" is a command used in the Sails.js framework to generate a new controller.
- "sails" refers to the command-line tool used to interact with the Sails.js framework.
- "generate" is a sub-command that instructs Sails to generate a new code file or component.
- "controller" specifies the type of component to generate, in this case, a controller.
- "${name}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with an actual name. It represents the name of the controller. For example, if you want to create a controller named "UserController", you would replace "${name}" with "User".
When you run this command, Sails.js will create a new file in the relevant directory (usually in the "api/controllers" folder) with the specified name, followed by the word "Controller".
The generated controller file will contain a basic skeleton structure with some default methods like "index", "create", "find", "update", "destroy", etc., which can be customized based on your application's requirements.
