sails.js

Been trying out Sails.js and I'm writing an app that imports data from a third-party API and saves in into a MySQL table. Basically I'm trying to sync data over to my app for further analysis, updating my records or creating new records as needed. I've looked through Sails' API and I see methods to find, create and update records but no built-in method to insert/update records based on the situation. Did I overlook something, or will I need to implement this myself? If I have to implement this myself, does anyone know of a good design pattern for insert/update? This is what I think it might

I would like to have arrays or collections in my model, is this yet possible with waterline (mongoDB)? are there any alternatives around? example: { name: Bundle, col1 : { name : anOtherModel, subCol: { text: aString, ... } }, col2 : { name : anOtherModel, subCol: { text: aString, ... } } } to: module.exports = { attributes : { name : { type : 'STRING', required : true }, basicModules: { type : 'ARRAY', // or 'COLLECTION' required : false } } }; I don't know if this is still an issue, but the trick is to neither POST as "form-data" nor "x-www-url-encoded". You have to POST the "raw" content:

Is anyone using TypeScript with Sails? If so, what are you using for external declarations? I am in the middle of a Sails application project and learned about TypeScript. I am trying to determine if TypeScript is something I should pursue for this project. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks. from : https://github.com/balderdashy/sails Sails is built with node connect express and socket.io . This means that definition files for these libraries are what you need. All of these are available from the Definitive TypeScript definition repository : https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped .

What is the actual syntax to log in SailsJS? Docs don't have anything, but found the following line in the site's roadmap "Pull out Sails.log (winston wrapper) as a separate module so it can be used by waterline" I image it's something like: Sails.log(...) Sails.error(...) Sails.warn(...) In your controllers, models, services, and anywhere else that the sails global is available, you can log with one of: sails.log(); sails.log.warn(); sails.log.info(); sails.log.debug(); sails.log.error(); sails.log.verbose(); sails.log.silly(); The logging level (that is, the level at which logs will be

I have implemented an AngularJS app, communicating with Sails backend through websockets, using sails.io.js. Since the backend is basically a pure API and will be connected to from other apps as well, I'm trying to disable sessions completely and use JWT. I have set up express-jwt and can use regular HTTP requests quite nicely, but when I send a request through sails.io.js, nothing happens at all - websocket request keeps pending on the client, and there's nothing happening on the server (with "silly" log level). I've tried patching sails.io.js to support the query parameter , and when

SailsJS provides default blueprint actions, such as find, update, create, etc. I need to override some of them to suit particular business purposes. However, I would like to add to them, instead of simply override them. How to call the default blueprint actions in the overriding action. For example, update can update the record of a model. update I want to have update do more, besides updating the record of a model. In my custom update method, I do not want to duplicate default update. How can I do that? copy everything from PROJECT-ROOT\node_modules\sails\lib\hooks\blueprints\actions to
