Cannot get it work with belongsToMany associations.

I set the through relation with

Country.belongsToMany(Article, {
        as: 'articles',
        through: {
          model: 'CountryArticle'
        },
        foreignKey: {
          name: 'countryId',
          as: 'articles'
        }
    });

  Article.belongsToMany(Country, {
      as: 'countries',
      through: {
        model: 'CountryArticle'
      },
      foreignKey: {
        name: 'articleId',
        as: 'countries'
      }
    });

It creates the through model and if I do
POST /country/uuid/articles?attribute=Value...

populate the article table but not the through model

I've not tested with belongsToMany, i'll take a look.

This is actually a fork from the original sails / waterline blueprints, and even waterline doesn't support through associations http://sailsjs.org/documentation/concepts/models-and-orm/associations/through-associations, so it will require a different implementation to support it.

for now, i suggest you to create an additional model as an intermediary instead of using through association.

Thanks. How would it be the relations?
ModelA hasMany throughModel
ModelB hasMany throughModel

throughModel belongsTo ModelA
throughModel belongsTo ModelB?

with FK tableIdA and tableIdB.
UPDATE
just read the link. Thank you.
