Nested attributes for sails models.

TODO

• Test deep nested attributes
• Change from forgJs syntax to regular sails attribute types

Getting started

Add a nested object/array definitions to your model.

These attributes must conform to the forgJs syntax, for now!

module.exports = {
	attributes: {

		// nested attributes definitions
		arrayOfObjects: {
			type: 'nested_array',
			of: {
				wa: {type: 'int', optional: true},
				res: {type: 'string'},
				entry: {type: 'int'},
				correct: 'boolean',
				deep: {
					type: 'nested_object',
					of: {
						ten: {type: 'int', min: 0, max: 10, optional: true},
						shoo: {type: 'string', minLength: 6, maxLength: 22},
						maybe: 'boolean',
						deepArray: {
							type: 'nested_array',
							of: {
								wa: {type: 'int', optional: true},
								res: {type: 'string'},
								entry: {type: 'int'},
								correct: 'boolean',
								deeper: {
									type: 'nested_object',
									of: {
										ten: {type: 'int', min: 0, max: 10, optional: true},
										shoo: {type: 'string', minLength: 6, maxLength: 22},

										evenDeeper: {

											of: {
												ten: {type: 'int', min: 0, max: 10, optional: true},
												shoo: {type: 'string', minLength: 6, maxLength: 22},
												maybe: 'boolean'
											}

									}
