makes routes for ui and api for models based off a baseModel.

README.md

makes views for models based off baseModel. useful when using http://github.com/jwietelmann/express3_boilerplate

if you have

• models/department.js
• routes/ui/departments.js
• routes/api/departments.js
• views/departments/index.jade

and

• models/area.js
• models/assistant.js
• models/..

and you want them to have the same contents as departments routes and views, but with the var names changed correctly.

run from parent dir.
