SAILS.JS | REALTIME MVC FRAMEWORK FOR NODE.JSGET STARTEDSUPPORTDOCUMENTATIONANATOMY OF A SAILS APPFAQSECURITY Sails.js makes it easy to build custom, enterprise-grade Node.js apps. It is designed to resemble the MVC architecture from frameworks like Ruby on Rails, but with support for the more modern, data-oriented style of web app development. It's especially good for building realtime features like chat.

Built with Love. The Sails framework is built by a web & mobile shop in Austin, TX, with the help of our contributors.We created Sails in 2012 to assist us on Node.js projects. Naturally we open-sourced it. We hope it makes your life a little bit easier!

LOGGING - SAILS.JS

Edit Page Logging. Sails comes with a simple, built-in logger called captains-log.Its usage is functionally very similar to Node's console.log, but with a handful of extra features, namely support for multiple log levels with colorized, prefixed console output.The logger serves two purposes:

ASSOCIATIONS

Edit Page Associations Overview. In addition to being literal types like string and number, attributes in a Sails model can represent links to other records in a datastore.Attributes of this type are called associations.For example, given a User model and a Pet model, the User may contain a pets attribute that links a given user to one or more pets.. Setting values for associations

HELPERS - SAILS.JS

UPGRADING - SAILS.JS Edit Page Upgrading. Like most Node packages, Sails respects semantic versioning.For example, if you are using Sails v0.11.3, and then upgrade to Sails v0.11.4, you

SAILS GENERATE

Custom generators. Custom / third party generators allow you to extend or override the default functionality of sails generate (for example, by creating a generator that outputs view files for your favorite view engine).. You can also use custom generators to automate frequent tasks or generate app-specific files. For example, if you are using React, you might wire up a quick custom generator USING MONGODB WITH NODE.JS/SAILS.JS Edit Page Using MongoDB with Node.js/Sails.js. Sails supports the popular MongoDB database via the sails-mongo adapter.. First, make sure you have access to a running MongoDB server, either on your development machine or in the cloud. ACTIONS AND CONTROLLERS Edit Page Actions and controllers Overview. Actions are responsible for responding to requests from a web browser, mobile application or any other system capable of communicating with a server. They often act as a middleman between your models and views, and orchestrate the bulk of your project’s business logic: you can use actions to serve web pages, handle form submissions, manage 3rd

.SENDNATIVEQUERY()

Edit Page .sendNativeQuery() Execute a raw SQL query using this datastore. var rawResult = await datastore.sendNativeQuery(sql, valuesToEscape); .sendNativeQuery() is only available on Sails/Waterline datastores that are configured to use a SQL database (e.g. MySQL, SQL Server, or PostgreSQL). Note that exact SQL and result format varies between databases, so you'll need to refer to the SAILS.JS | REALTIME MVC FRAMEWORK FOR NODE.JSGET STARTEDSUPPORTDOCUMENTATIONANATOMY OF A SAILS APPFAQSECURITY Sails.js makes it easy to build custom, enterprise-grade Node.js apps.

Note that exact SQL and result format varies between databases, so you'll need to refer to the

HELPERS - SAILS.JS

Helpers. As of v1.0, all Sails apps come with built-in support for helpers, simple utilities that let you share Node.js code in more than one place.This helps you avoid repeating yourself, and makes development more efficient by reducing bugs and minimizing rewrites.

CONFIGURATION

Edit Page Configuration Overview. While Sails dutifully adheres to the philosophy of convention-over-configuration, it is important to understand how to customize those handy defaults from time to time.For almost every convention in Sails, there is an accompanying set of configuration options that allow you to adjust or override things to

fit your needs.

ASSETS - SAILS.JS

Edit Page Assets Overview. Assets refer to static files (js, css, images, etc.) on your server that you want to make accessible to the outside world. In Sails, these files are placed in the assets/ folder. When you lift your app, add files to your assets/ folder, or change existing assets, Sails' built-in asset pipeline processes and syncs those files to a hidden folder (.tmp/public/).

SAILS NEW

Edit Page sails new. Create a new Sails project. sails new your-app-name Usage: Most Sails apps should be generated simply by running sails new your-app-name, without any additional customization.But sails new also accepts the following options:--no-frontend: useful when generating a new Sails app that will not be used to serve any front-end assets.. Disables the generation of the assets

WATERLINE (ORM)

Edit Page Waterline (ORM) By default, new Sails apps are bundled with an ORM called Waterline (implemented in the sails-hook-orm dependency).. To learn more about using Waterline, start in Concepts > Models & ORM.. Reference. This section of the documentation contains a reference of all of the methods available at runtime on models, queries, and datastores. REFLEXIVE ASSOCIATIONS Edit Page Reflexive associations Overview. In most cases, an association will be between attributes of two different models—for example, a relationship between a User model and a Pet model. However, it is also possible to have a relationship between two attributes in the same model. This is called a reflexive association.. Consider the following User model:

REQ.OPTIONS

Edit Page req.options. req.options is a dictionary (plain JavaScript object) of request-agnostic settings available in your app's actions.. The purpose of req.options is to allow an action's code to access its configured route options, if there are any. (Simply put, "route options" are just any additional properties provided in a route target.). With the blueprint API
