Sand Base Grain/Module

All Grains (Modules) used by Sand must first extend this base grain.

To begin

1. Install it:

   $ npm install sand-grain -S

2. Create a new module which extends SandGrain and implement SandGrain.name property, SandGrain.init() method and, optionally, SandGrain.shutdown()

   var SandGrain = require('sand-grain');
   
   var MyModule = SandGrain.extend({
   	name: 'MyModule', // required
   	
   	init: function(config, done) { // required
   		this.super(config, done);
   		// your initialization goes here
   	},
   	
   	shutdown: function(done) { // optional
   		// implementing this hook is optional
   		// your shutdown logic goes here
   		// Make sure to call done when you are done shutting down
   	}
   	
   	// add other public functions that you'd like to export here
   });

3. Use your shiny new module with Sand

   var sand = require('sand')();
   var MyModule = require('my-sand-module');
   
   sand.use(MyModule).start();
   
   // now that sand is started, you can use sand.MyModule.myFunction() anywhere in your project
