The document presents an overview of the Sails.js framework, highlighting its features like MVC architecture, RESTful API generation, and real-time integration with Socket.io. It provides insights into creating a new Sails project, model associations, and implementing policies for user authentication. Additional resources for documentation and community support are also shared.

Intro to Sail.js
- 5. SAILS HIGHLIGHTS • Robust Node.js MVC web server framework ! • Railsy features - scaffolding, DB agnostic ORM ! • Automatically generated RESTful JSON API ! • Out-of-the-box real-time socket.io integration ! • Role based access policies and ACL ! • JS/CSS asset bundling and minification (Grunt)
- 6. QUICK NOTE: Convention > Configuration = Magic
- 7. WHAT IS A SINGLE PAGE APPLICATION?
- 11. TADA! WEB PAGE!
- 15. /kitten/1?format=json GET /kitten/1 A JAX Request
- 16. [{ "_id" : "abc124efg345", "lives" : 9, "curiousity" : "massive", "cuteness" : 9999, "eyes" : "blue", "fur" : "yellow" }] Response JSON
- 17. TADA! WEB APP!
- 18. Heading out to sea
- 19. SAILS VERSIONS V0.9 Coming V0.10 V0.10 Soon • Current NPM default • beta version (RC3) • Reliable starting place • Significant Refactors • What I’ll be demoing • API changes in this presentation • Associations • Here be dragons… https://github.com/balderdashy/sails-docs/blob/master/Migration-Guide.md
- 20. DOCUMENTATION SOURCES Official Website Documentation http://sailsjs.org/#!documentation GitHub Documentation Repo Coming V0.10 Soon https://github.com/balderdashy/sails-docs/tree/0.10
- 21. CREATE A NEW SAILS PROJECT http://sailsjs.org/#!getStarted
- 22. 0.10.0 NPM INSTALL WEIRDNESS If you encounter this, try: npm install -g
- 23. SAILS CLI BASICS Turn on asset linking Make a new app sails new <appName> Run App sails lift --linker Set Env Config Display all logs --dev --prod --verbose Display Sails.js Version sails version
- 24. SAILS SCAFFOLDING Generate Scaffolding sails generate (type) <id> model, controller, default is both Pluggable Generators for Scaffolding Coming V0.10 Soon sails generate (type) <id> model, controller, api, blog, user, whatever you want!
- 25. MODELS (Waterline Collection) api/models var Person = { schema : true, attributes: { firstName: 'string', lastName: 'string', password : { type : 'string', required : true, notEmpty : true }, age : { type: 'integer', max: 150, required: true }, birthDate: 'date', phoneNumber: { type: 'string', defaultsTo: '111-222-3333' }, emailAddress: { type: 'email', // Email type will get validated by the ORM required: true } } }; model.exports = Person;
- 26. BEYOND ATTRIBUTES // Define a custom instance method fullName: function() { return this.firstName + ' ' + this.lastName; }, // Lifecycle Callbacks beforeCreate: function(values, next) { bcrypt.hash(values.password, 10, function(err, hash) { if(err) return next(err); values.password = hash; next(); }); }, // Override toJSON instance method // to remove phoneNumber value toJSON: function() { var obj = this.toObject(); delete obj.password; return obj; }
- 27. ORM - WATERLINE https://github.com/balderdashy/waterline • ActiveRecord, Hibernate, and Mongoose • emphasis on modularity, testability, and consistency across adapters • Waterline Adapter -> DB Query • Custom Adapter methods
- 28. Coming ASSOCIATIONS V0.10 Associate models across different data stores Defining Association var Blog = { attributes : { title : 'string', body : 'string', author : { model : 'person' } } }; Soon Relationship Types • One way • One-to-One • One-to-Many • Many-to-Many Blog.find({title:'Sails.js Presentation'}).populate('author').exec(console.log);
- 29. Full Sail Ahead!
- 30. RESOURCEFUL ROUTING CRUD Routes get /:controller/:id? post /:controller put /:controller/:id delete /:controller/:id FREE To disable set the ‘shortcuts’ flag to false in config/controllers.js, REST Routes /:controller/find/:id? /:controller/create /:controller/update/:id /:controller/destroy/:id FREE ! To disable set the ‘rest’ flag to false in config/controllers.js
- 31. CONTROLLERS api/controllers var ChickenController = { // Peck the chicken specified by id (subtract 50 HP) peck: function (req,res) { Chicken.find(req.param('id')).exec(function (err, chicken) { if (err) return res.send(err,500); if (!chicken) return res.send("No other chicken with that id exists!", 404); if (chicken.hp <= 0) return res.send("The other chicken is already dead!", 403); chicken.hp -= 50; // Subtract 50 HP from the chicken chicken.save(function (err) { // Persist the change if (err) return res.send(err,500); // Report back with the new state of the chicken res.json(chicken); }); }); } }; module.exports = ChickenController;
- 32. SOCKET.IO http://socket.io/ // all controller routes return valid responses socket.get('/todo/count', function(results) { console.log(results) }); // create a new item socket.post('/todo', {"title" : "this is from sockets"}, function(err,results) { console.log(err,results) }); // all valid ways to update with websockets socket.put('/todo', {'id' : 1, 'title' : "updated1"}, function(results) { console.log(results) }); socket.put('/todo/1', {'title' : "updated2"}, function(results) { console.log(results) }); socket.get('/todo/update/1', {'title' : "updated3"}, function(results) { console.log(results) }); // all valid ways to delete with websockets socket.delete('/todo', {'id' : 1}, function(results) { console.log(results) }); socket.delete('/todo/1', function(results) { console.log(results) }); socket.get('/todo/delete/21',function(results) { console.log(results)}); // listen for messages socket.on('message', function(message) { console.log(message) }); // listen for messages from a specific controller socket.on('todo',function(message) { console.log(message) }); Coming V0.10 Soon
- 33. POLICIES api/policies/isAuthenticated.js module.exports = function(req, res, next) { // User is allowed, proceed to the next policy, // or if this is the last policy, the controller if (req.session.authorized == true) { return next(); } // User is not allowed // (default res.forbidden() behavior can be overridden in `config/403.js`) return res.forbidden('You are not permitted to perform this action.'); }; config/policies.js module.exports.policies = { // Default policy for all controllers and actions // (`true` allows public access) '*': true, // Policies for /Foo/* routes FooController: { "*" : true, 'update' : 'isAuthenticated', 'destroy' : ['isAuthenticated','isOwner'] } };
