A reliable callback handler for loading an external Sails.js app via require()

var path = require('path');
var SailsApp = require('sails').Sails;
var _ = require('lodash');

exports.load = function (app, _config, cb) {
  var cwd = process.cwd();
  if (_.isFunction(_config)) cb = _config;

  var config = _.merge({
    hooks: {
      grunt: false
    },
    models: {
      migrate: 'safe'
    }
  }, _config);

  process.chdir(path.dirname(require.resolve(app)));

  var sails = new SailsApp();
  return sails.load(config, function () {
    process.chdir(cwd);
    cb(sails);
  });
};
