Populate, add and remove in Sails v0.11.0

[Erk]

Hi!

Just installed the new release. Was really looking forward to this one! Thanks!!!

However, where did the populate, add and remove blueprints go? Take this User model:

module.exports = {
  attributes: {
    name: {
      type: 'string'
    },
    pets: {
      collection: 'pet',
      via: 'id'
    },
    favoritePet: {
      model: 'pet',
      via: 'id'
    }
  }
};

Now create a user, some pets (pets just have a name attribute) and a favoritePet. As opposed to v0.10.5, the following routes give a 404 error:

• GET /user/1/pets
• POST /user/1/pets
• DELETE /user/1/pets
• GET /user/1/favoritePet
• and so on

Why have these blueprints been omitted? We should cover that in the migration guide...

In the meantime, this is how to restore functionality with custom routes:

'GET /user/:id/pets' : {model: 'user', blueprint: 'populate', alias: 'pets'},
'POST /user/:parentid/pets' : {model: 'user', blueprint: 'add', alias: 'pets'}

and so on...

However, a lot of the cool Sails magic went missing... or did I miss an important point here?

Edit:

DELETE rout should look like this:

• DELETE /user/1/pets/1

Custom routes should look like this:

'GET /user/:parentid/pets' : {model: 'user', blueprint: 'populate', alias: 'pets'},

The above routes bypass any policies. You can either use

[{policy: 'auth'}, {policy: 'auth2'}, {model: 'user', blueprint: 'populate', alias: 'pets'}]

syntax or treat blueprints as actions like in

{controller: 'UserController', action: 'populate', alias: 'pets'}

OK, I created a repository for this one.

Can someone please take a look? It works in v0.10.5 but not on v0.11.0. Thanks!
