A Sails generator for Sails generators.  [Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo!](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo)


### Installation

Already included in Sails.


### Usage

##### On the command line

```sh
$ sails generate generator foo
```

##### In a node script

```javascript
var generate = require('sails-generate');
var scope = {};
generate(require('sails-generate-generator'), scope, function (err, output) {
	if (err) throw err;

	// Log output for your enjoyment:
	console.log(output);
});
```

### Development

To get started quickly and see this generator in action, run the `bin/index.js` script:

```sh
$ git clone YOUR_FORK_OF_THIS_REPO sails-generate-generator-fork
$ cd sails-generate-generator-fork
$ npm install
$ node ./bin
```

`bin/index.js` is a simple script, bundled only for convenience, that runs the generator with hard-coded scope variables.  Please feel free to modify that file however you like!  Also see `CONTRIBUTING.md` for more information on overriding/enhancing generators.
