Define an array in SailsJS 1.0 Model

Question

We have been running an app on sailsJS 0.12 - once 1.0 was released ran through the upgrade process and upgraded

previously, some of the models were supporting "array" type, it's no longer supported. what's the alternative to this ? it's not covered in sample app or the documentation

model I have is :

module.exports = {
attributes: {
    provider: 'string',
    uid: 'string',
    email: 'string',
    name: 'string',
    firstName: 'string',
    lastName: 'string',    
    password: 'string',    
    projects: {
      collection: 'project',
      via: 'owner'
    },
    creditsHistory:{
      collection: 'creditsHistory',
      via: 'owner'
    },    
    userRoles: {type: 'array', defaultsTo : [roles.USER]}
  },

supported types in sails 1.0 are : https://sailsjs.com/documentation/concepts/models-and-orm/attributes

there isn't any example or sample on what to replace the array type with sails 0.12 supported types: https://0.12.sailsjs.com/documentation/concepts/models-and-orm/attributes

does anyone has any idea on this ?

Answer 1

You can use it like that:

'coordinate': {
      'type': 'json',
      'required': true,
    },

Or you can use it like this :

'cost_price': {
      'type': 'ref',
      'columnType': "double"

    },

in colunmType you can define database colunm type
