@redoc123 it does. When you're choosing additional services, it modifies dependencies list which are installing via yeoman.

@ghaiklor thanks for quick response for my "impatient" question. I am not seeing any of the packages being added to package.json. please advise.

I created a project with following options:

Application questions:
? Application name sails-rest-api

Configuration questions:
? Database adapter Mongo
? Database host localhost
? Database name sails-rest-api
? Database username
? Database password [hidden]
? Enable CORS? Yes

Logger questions:
? Choose which logger you want to configure Winston

Blueprint questions:
? Use overridden blueprints? Yes

Controller questions:
? Choose which predefined controllers you want to copy PingController, SearchController

Hook questions:
? Choose which predefined hooks you want to copy CountHook, PluralizeHook

Cron questions:
? Do you need cron? Yes

Swagger questions:
? Do you need Swagger UI Explorer? Yes

Authentication questions:
? Do you need authentication layer? Yes
? Secret key 74a13d37f8bf44138c564b02d8bbb48dc555d2ee0fd9a78594c16f5d8135f22d

Service questions:
? Select which services you want to use CipherService, HashService, ImageService, LocationService, MailerService, PusherService, SmsService
? Image provider IM
? Location provider Google

"start": "node app.js",
"test": "istanbul cover _mocha"
}
}

[ghaiklor]

hm... it should add sails-service packages... Seems like a bug and needs investigation why this is happening. Do you want to try debug it?

Hi, I just used your generator and I have the same problem - package.json was empty and I had to install all dependencies manually

[nastil]

By empty I mean most dependencies where missing
