sailsjs: how do I reverse engineer an existing db into sails/waterline models?

Question

I am a SailsJS noob.
I have an existing database (postgres) that I want to turn into models for SailsJS/Waterline. is there a method/tool/utility to do this automatically like the datasource.discoverSchema() method in LoopBack?

thanks,
Mark

No. Currently this is not a method in sails/waterline.
