Automizing injection of your [custom Sails.JS] hook's MVC logics (models, controllers, helpers, services, config, policies, views, and assets) from the hook's directory [presuming default structure], or specified directories, into the end-product, Sails.J

/**
 * Load hooks from a spcefied directory into a Sails app
 * Basically this a micro-app dir structure and the micro-app depends on these hooks.
 * Since the Micro app is an entity that runs on its own having other micro-apps in it
 * makes it much more plugable.
 * This loads hooks that may contain other micro-apps or some other hook.
 * it loads the hooks from node_modules dir governed by package.json and from the api/hooks dir
 * just as a normal sails app would do
