Some references


  • Node packages == Ruby Gems
  • Package.json ~ gemfile, shows installed packages and dependencies
  • Dependencies are handled in node.js using the javascript library require.js

package.json

 {
  "name": "sailsExample",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "description": "My Sails application",
  "dependencies": {
    "sails": "0.8.94",
    "optimist": "0.4.0",
    "mongo": "~0.1.0"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node app.js",
    "debug": "node debug app.js"
  },
  "main": "app.js",
  "license": "MIT"
}

NON-BLOCKING




WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

(besides, you know, running freaking javascript on the server side!!)

HTTP.JS



EXPRESS.js


Express.JS Scaffolding






Socket.io


//Code For Server
var io = require("socket.io");
io.sockets.on("connection", function (sock) {
    sock.emit("welcomeMessage", { hello: "world" });
}
io.listen(80);

//Code For Client
var sock = io.connect('http://localhost');
sock.on('welcomeMessage', function (json) {
    //Handle Event Received
});

Pero no era de sails que
ibamos a hablar?

  • Socket messages y Express requests tienen que ser manejados de forma independiente
  • Socket programming es un paradigma nuevo para muchos web developers
  • Autenticación en express hay que construirla desde cero
  • No había una implementación agnóstica de un data store (sequelize y jugglingdb ??)

Sails.js

Convention-over-configuration. Imita patrón MVC de frameworks como RoR

Orientado a desarrollar APIs para ser 
consumidos por Single Page Apps

Controladores son middleware para usar Express

Views renderizados con EJS o el template
engine que más te guste

Algunos Features





  • Database Agnostic
  • RESTful APIs en vez de scaffolds
  • Soporte para Socket.io/WebSockets
  • Seguridad basada en policies
  • ORM permite queries complejos,
    con paginación, búsqueda, y sorting
  • Asset bundling



What's the catch



Express syntax for socket.io requests

One way to make http and socket requets

Real abstraction of data store management

Access to express and socket.io functions still there

Highly encouragement for community participation
