Sails.js flash message for user registration

Question

I am following Sail.js tutorial from http://irlnathan.github.io/sailscasts/blog/2013/08/27/building-a-sails-application-ep4-handling-validation-errors-with-a-flash-message/<

Answer 1

In a normal mvc like rails or cakephp handling flash is something like this: $this->Flash->error('An Error Occurred Message'); then displayed it in an element.

In sails it should be simple as that.

In Controller: req.flash('error', 'An Error Occurred Message');

In View Partial: flash.ejs

<% if (req.session.flash) { %>

    <% if (req.session.flash.success) { %>
    

        <%= req.flash('success') %>
        ×
    
    <% } %>

    <% if (req.session.flash.warning) { %>
    

        <%= req.flash('warning') %>
        ×
    
    <% } %>

    <% if (req.session.flash.error) { %>
    

        <%= req.flash('error') %>
        ×
    
    <% } %>

<% } %>

On Layout:

<%- partial('partials/flash') %>

Handling Error Message per field should be part in a Validation and Html Helper. (Like for example: https://gist.github.com/mikermcneil/8366092)
