I want to update a field 'owner' of a Model. The owner needs to be fetched from the session which contains the user who is currently logged in and is creating the Model. I want something like this: Model = { attributes: { }, beforeCreate(values,next) { var owner_user_id = req.session.user_id; values.owner = owner_user_id; next(); } } Are you sure a lifecycle callback is the right place to do it? Because it's really not. What if tomorrow you'll need to use your model in a CLI task or something else sessionless? Besides, with the associations API coming, there will be, probably, a more elegant

I'm pretty new on Nodejs and sails. I'm implementing a server which is similiar to Twitter. In user model, there should be 2 fields: follower and following, and the 2 fields are association of the model 'user' itself. My question is when the model have only 1 association, either follower or following, it works. However, when both follower and following included, there would be en error. The code is something like this: module.exports = { attributes: { alias: { type:'string', required: true, primaryKey: true }, pwd: { type: 'string', required: true }, follower: { collection: 'user', via: 'alias

anyone used node's sails framework using mysql as DB ( https://github.com/balderdashy/sails-mysql )? I am stuck in models, I can't create the database structure.The datatypes that I need to use to create the schema doesn't work. I've searched everywhere for some documentation, but i can't find anything that can help me. Sail's documentation is not yet complete, i guess. http://sailsjs.org/#documentation/models Can anyone please help me in creating models. I would highly appreciate if you can help me create the simple schema below using sails-mysql. Thanks in advance! module.exports = {

So the reason why im confused, because I am a PHP developer and used Laravel and FuelPHP alot What i dont really understand is the association it self. What i mean, i wanted to create a basic hasOne / BelongsTo logic, with the following User has one profile Profile belongs to an user I am used to the following build up (Laravel style) Users table id | username | email | password --------------------------------------- 1 | My Username | My email | 1234568 Users_profile table user_id | first_name | last_name ---------------------------------------- 1 | My First name | My Last name Then i just

I'm completely new to sails, node and js in general so I might be missing something obvious. I'm using sails 0.10.5 and node 0.10.33. In the sails.js documentation there's a page about tests http://sailsjs.org/#/documentation/concepts/Testing , but it doesn't tell me how to actually run them. I've set up the directories according to that documentation, added a test called test/unit/controllers/RoomController.test.js and now I'd like it to run. There's no 'sails test' command or anything similar. I also didn't find any signs on how to add a task so tests are always run before a 'sails lift'.

I'm having the following code: var objectid = infos[i].id; var name = infos[i].name; return collection.aggregate([ {$match: {app: new ObjectId(objectid)}}, {$group: {_id: "$uid", amt: {$sum: 1}}} ]) Previously this code was working fine, but recently I started getting the below stacktrace in sails: error: TypeError: Argument must be a string at TypeError (native) at Buffer.write (buffer.js:791:21) at serializeObjectId (/Users/user/git/pivot/code/node_modules/sails-mongo/node_modules/bson/lib/bson/parser/serializer.js:242:10) at serializeInto (/Users/user/git/pivot/code/node_modules/sails-mongo

I want to make a request like: User.find().exec(function(){}); I know I can use toJSON in the model however I don't like this approach since sometimes I need different parameters. For instance if it's the logged in user I will return their email and other parameters. However if it the request fort he same data is made by a different user it would not include the email and a smaller subset of parameters. I've also tried using: User.find({}, {username:1}) ... User.find({}, {fields: {username:1}}); But not having any luck. How can I specify the fields I need returned? So actually found a weird
