MeanJS: Generate the Sub-CRUD-Module with the generator?

Question

I have a CRUD-entity with a strong relationship to another entity, like comments only be posted and viewed above an article.

I want to use document db structure. Every comment should be saved in its article. I dont want to have a comments collection in which every comment is saved and referenced from the articles collection, like a relational db structure would suggest.

My question now is: What is the best practice to create a document style sub crud module in MEAN.JS?

Should I...

• generate it, disable the creation in the collection and link the angular-controllers/views across the modules?
• generate it, disable the creation in the collection and move the files to the father crud module?
• refrain from generating it, create all needed files direct in the father module?

Answer 1

Create all needed files direct in the father module.

I did something similar to avoid referencing to other documents, you can edit the module schema to embed a schema into a schema, check this link:
