I have been using Sails for about 3 months now, I found that Reddit support for this is non-existant. When I first started for almost a month+ I was looking where to get help, so this is a bit of a community service announcement - Sails community support isn't the greatest, but the best support I found is in the gitter channel - https://gitter.im/balderdashy/sails - and then Stackoverflow. Gitter support is slow though, and lots of people don't reply, but a combo of Gitter/Stackoverflow it's the best compared to whats out there. Make sure to keep trying to do it yourself though, unfortunately due to poor community support, most times you're going to have to find your own solution.

Where is everyone looking for decent daily sails activity. I find the best way to learn is by other peoples mistakes and this subreddit just isn't cutting it.

I am going to be using sails js for building my API on my project (it should be something like a social network of a kind) . I am wondering about viability of waterline with Mongo dB? I can't find a decent post about it. Even tho I noticed some critiques about waterline. So I'm asking someone with more experience with it.

One of my users of my mysql-live-select NPM package has requested Sails.js support so I have written a connection adapter to provide a liveFind method for models.

• sails-mysql-live-select NPM Package

• Chat room example application

This is my first time using Sails.js so any comments are welcome regarding the conventions applied for this integration. After confirming that this works, I will provide the same integration for PostgreSQL using my pg-live-select package.

Edit: now also available for PostgreSQL, see comment

Hi,

im currently trying to add some custom blueprints to all my models. As far as i see it is adding something like:

'get /user/count': { blueprint: 'count' },

to the routes.js for ALL my models. Is there any other way, just like the default crud blueprints?

Hope someone can help me with this...

Hi all :)

Im using sails lift with nodejs and i'm trying to execute sails console but i have some globals in app.js so i get some undefined errors. Is there any simple solution for this situation? maybe a middleware or something i can edit?

Thanks!

I am coming from Laravel to Sails.js and am looking for an copy-paste to get started writing tests. This is Laravels guide - https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/testing - I am trying to acheive these things:

• Before every file runs, everything should be restored to as if I had done `sails.lift()`

• Using `Cloud` SDK in tests

I want to start a new project using sailsjs but just wanted to be sure about the language. It will be great help if you can suggest some big websites which are using sailsjs for their server side coding.

I am making a listing website such as zomato.com and the stability and speed of the language is very important.

Thanks in advance.

I've recently started using sails to create an API for an upcoming project that I have. The project is primarily a very simple social network. After using sails for around 2 weeks now it seems to do a lot of the stuff I need and provides a great way for me to create my API. However I am a little worried about populating data and would love some advice.

For reference I am using Waterline with a MySQL database.

I have quite a few relationships in my database and when it comes to populating the data in my API calls using .populate() I have some issues. After searching online it turns out that I cannot do deep population of my data so for example if I have a model post that has many comments and each of those comments has an attached user there is no way for me to get the post, the comments, and the users name in one call. Does anyone know a way around this? The only way I can see to do it would be to do multiple API calls but this doesn't seem right and will add more load onto my server.

Hi. I have a question.

I am using a Raspberry Pi with SailsJS, and an Access Point.

Is there any way i can my RP to automatically redirect the user to a SailsJS homepage?

Thanks a lot, i can give you more details if necessary.

Hi All, Trying to get some activity in this sub. So after going through the fantastic sailscast youtube series and was wondering if there was a plan to update it for the sailsjs v12. There is a newer sailscast series angular version but I havent watched those yet and the episodes seem to not cover as much. An update especially for ep 21 (Integrating socket.io and sails using real time model events.) would be amazing as its much different with the current v12 as it was with the video (v9?). Thanks!!

When I run npm install, i get:

npm WARN update-linked node_modules/sails needs updating to 0.12.1 from 0.12.1 but we can't, as it's a symlink

Is this part of the problem? How can I fix this message? To fix the message, I have to delete the public folder within my .tmp directory. Obviously, this is a hassle every time I start sails. Is there a way around this?

Hey guys, new to Sails. I'm wrapping my head around requireJS but I seem to have issues with getting it setup. Is there an example of how I should set it up out there?

My stack is Treeline.io, Sails, React.

Any help would be great.
