Sails.js - How to inject a js file to a specific route?

Question

For example, I have a page /locations/map which I need to include Google Map library, and include a .js file (e.g. location.js) specif

Answer 1

I know this is an old question by I discovered another option.

File:

config\routes.js

Code:

'/': 'HomeController.StartHome'

I set StartHome function in HomeController responsible for managing '/' route.

File:

api\controllers\HomeController.js

Code:

StartHome: function(req, res) {

    var template_data = {
        "data" : {
            "view_name" : "home_view"
        }

    }

    res.view('home_view', template_data)
}

Here, I created an object with some data which is passed to EJS template(to client).

File:

views\layout.ejs

Code:

<% if (data["view_name"] === "home_view") { %>

<% } %>

In my layouts.ejs I created if statement which "enables" script tag depending on on the view I am currently on.

This is how I handle this. I hope it's clear for you.
