How to use sails.js models to search using a labelless REST project?

Question

I have disabled shortcuts for shortcuts (/ model / findAll wont work) and now I want to search for a model using REST, but I have not found anything, is there any documentation or do I need to write my own views for what?

thanks

Answer 1

In Sails.js , CRUD and REST design routes are included for development, but for production, I suggest you have your own actions that can find / create / update / delete models in this controller

Sails automatically map the actions in your controllers to the corresponding routes, without having to manually configure them to disable this: set the action flag to false in the file config / controllers.js / p>

This is best explained with an example, so here is a basic model with multiple RESTful routes

models /user.js

Our model has two attributes and does not provide uniqueness.

module.exports = { attributes: { name: 'string', email: 'string' } }; 

Controllers /UserController.js

Our controller has two actions: findAll returns all users, and findByName returns users with the given name

 module.exports = { findAll: function (req, res) { User.find().done(function (err, users) { if (err) { res.send(400); } else { res.send(users); } }); }, findByName: function(req, res) { var name = req.param('name'); User.findByName(name).done(function (err, users) { if (err) { res.send(400); } else { res.send(users); } }); } }; 

configurations /routes.js

The configuration of our routes has two routes that respond only to GET requests, / user / all will trigger the findAll action, and name / username / name /: the findByName action will be launched with the name specified as a parameter in the URL

 module.exports.routes = { 'GET /user/all': 'UserController.findAll', 'GET /user/name/:name': 'UserController.findByName' }; 

For more information, be sure to check the controller documentation in Sails.js

Just updating the previous post, since I could not find anyone who mentioned this, and I do not have enough reputation for comments, the connections.js file was deleted in later versions of Sails.js. These configuration options are now in the blueprints.js file.

Update scott answer using Promise, ES6 and custom answer

  findAll: function (req, res) { User.find().then(users => { res.send(users); }).catch(() => { res.badRequest('Error in GET'); }); }, findByName: function(req, res) { var name = req.param('name'); User.findByName(name).then(users => { res.send(users); }).catch(() => { res.badRequest('Error in GET'); }); },
