sails.js

I'm new to Sails and I'm trying to figure out the best/proper method for returning a standard object for every API response. The container our front-end requires is: { "success": true/false, "session": true/false, "errors": [], "payload": [] } Currently, I’m overwriting the blueprint actions in each controller like this example (which just seems so very, very wrong): find : function( req, res ){ var id = req.param( 'id' ); Foo.findOne( { id : id } ).exec( function( err, aFoo ){ res.json( AppSvc.jsonReply( req, [], aFoo ), 200 ); }); } And in AppSvc.js: jsonReply : function( req, errors, data )

I have a sails app that I'm working with and I'm using passport.js for user auth. I have login working, along with policies that protect my pages, all systems go. On one of my pages the user is inputting information, so I need to get the current logged in user's id. I struggled with this but eventually came up with using a route In the controller $scope.$on('sailsSocket:connect', function(ev, data) { sailsSocket.get( '/get_user', {}, function(response) { $scope.team_id = response.user; sailsSocket.get( '/status_update?sort=createdAt%20ASC&team_id='+$scope.team_id, {}, function(response) {

I simply want to add an image in a view in my Sails-Project My view-file has the location views/album/albums.ejs and the image is located in assets/images/placeholder.png if I add the image like this <img src="../../assets/images/placeholder.png"> I get this error GET http://localhost:1337/assets/images/placeholder.png 404 (Not Found) Am I missing something? Sails use Grunt (Gruntfile.js in root of project) to execute some tasks during sails lift. One of that tasks is to copy files from assets directory to .tmp/public/ directory (in development version). So if u add your file to assets

I am running a SailsJS instance (v0.12.3) for which I have a controller MyModelController handling a WebSocket ( socket.io ) connection that is allowed if the user has authenticated. MyModelController module.exports = { /** * Socket connection */ connect: function(req, res) { /* Checks it's a socket connection request */ if (!req.isSocket) { return res.badRequest();} /* Checks it's authenticated */ if (req.session.me) { User.findOne(req.session.me, function (err, me) { if (req.param('name')) { MyModel.findOne({ name: req.param('name') }).exec(function(err, objectFound) { /* e.g. Join a room

I am learning node.js these days. I have gone through some nodeJS framework as well like expressJS and sailsJS but not able to decide which framework should I choose? I suggest to use sails.js , as it has better MVC structure and If you take Sails.js, then you are still on Express. It also give you a base architecture and good start points for your projects. Better go through this link and decide : http://www.quora.com/Should-one-learn-Express-js-or-Sails-js You need to be at least familar with Express.js - it's like a standart now. I would also suggest you to use sails.js as Sails makes it

(Using Sails.js) I am testing webworker-threads ( https://www.npmjs.com/package/webworker-threads ) for long running processes on Node and the following example looks good: var Worker = require('webworker-threads').Worker; var fibo = new Worker(function() { function fibo (n) { return n > 1 ? fibo(n - 1) + fibo(n - 2) : 1; } this.onmessage = function (event) { try{ postMessage(fibo(event.data)); }catch (e){ console.log(e); } } }); fibo.onmessage = function (event) { //my return callback }; fibo.postMessage(40); But as soon as I add any code to query Mongodb, it throws an exception: (not using

I'd like to add a default toDisplay function to all models which will use metadata, not unlike attribute/association definitions, to perform manipulations on the instance's attributes/associations making them suitable for display in the UI. for example: Foo.findOne(someId) .exec(function(err, foo) { ... res.view({ foo: foo.toDisplay(), }); }); So, I'd like to add this function too all models. I can imagine a Model.prototype.toDisplay = ... solution, but I'm not sure where to get Model from (some long require('waterline/..../model') path?), and if I had Model, where to put that snip-it. Please
