# sails-generate-controller


A `controller` generator for use with the Sails command-line interface.


### Installing this generator

> Certain generators are installed by default in Sails, but they can be overridden.  Check the [Sails docs](http://sailsjs.org/#!documentation) for information on installing generator overrides / custom generators.

<!--
```sh
$ npm install sails-generate-controller
```
-->


##### For a particular app

In your app directory:

```sh
$ npm install sails-generate-controller
```

Then edit this project's `./.sailsrc` file (see below for details).  If no local `.sailsrc` file exists yet, you can just create one.


##### As the default for your global Sails install

In your $HOME folder (i.e. `~/`):

```sh
$ npm install sails-generate-controller
```

Then edit your global `~/.sailsrc` file (see below for details).  If no global `.sailsrc` file exists yet, you can just create one.


##### Configuring a `.sailsrc` file to use this generator

Add or replace the module used for generating a "controller":

```json
{
	"generators": {
		"modules": {
			"controller": "sails-generate-controller"
		}
	}
}
```



### Usage

Now that the generator is installed, you can test it:

```sh
$ sails generate controller foobar
```
