Add a field to a global set

Question

is there a way to add a field to a global set by code ? I figured out how to create a global:

$global = new GlobalSetModel();
$global->name = 'GlobalName';
$global->handle = 'globalHandle';
craft()->globals->saveSet($global)

But I can't figure out how to add a field to this newly create global.

Answer 1

See here for how to add a field to a user's field layout.

Users, Globals, Tags, Categories, etc. are all elements in Craft so they behave very similarly.

You can also check out Craft's own InstallService's private _createDefaultContent() method for examples on how Craft creates the default content on a fresh install of Craft.
