sails.js waterline model not working

I have the next two models:

module.exports = {
    identity: 'WebsiteWidget',
    attributes: {
        name: 'string',
        type: {
          type: 'string',
          enum: ['fullPage', 'container', 'base']
        },
        container: {
          model: 'container'
        },
        widget: {
          model: 'widget'
        },
        page: {
          model: 'page'
        },
        data: {
          type: 'json'
        },
        output: {
          type: 'text'
        },
        widgetHtml: {
            model: 'widgethtml'
        },
        sort: 'integer'
    }
}

module.exports = {
    attributes: {
        widget: 'string',
        templateName: 'string',
        source: 'text',
        settings: 'json'
    }
};

The thing is that WebsiteWidget holds an id of WidgetHtml, when i execute a find query, the websiteHtml property returns just the id instead of the whole WidgetHtml model. What is the problem?

Use populate() or populateAll() from Sails.js Waterline.

You need to explicitly tell waterline to retrieve your WidgetHtml like : 

WebsiteWidget.find(....).populate("widgetHtml").exec(function(err, website))
{

//Do what you want 

});
