Sails.getDatastores is not a function

I'm having an issue, when I want to perform a MongoDB database operation every time I boot SailsJs (v1.0.0-49), declaring db like this:

const db = sails.getDatastore().manager

But I get the following:

TypeError: sails.getDatastore is not a function

UPDATE: I am not using sails (Waterline) Models.

Now, I've tried using it in config/bootstrap.js, as a Hook and as a Service, with no success. I've also asked in a related issue in their repository without any response since last year.

Here's the link of my original post: https://github.com/balderdashy/sails/issues/4156

Actually, you are allowed to call getDatastore() directly on the Sails object OR against the model. But this is a Waterline feature wired into Sails:

You have to call getDatastore().manager on a model not the sails object. if you have some model named MyModel then you access the datastore manager like this :

const db = MyModel.getDatastore().manager;

check the docs.
