Sails.js is a web framework that makes it easy to build custom, enterprise-grade Node.js apps. It is designed to resemble the MVC architecture from frameworks like Ruby on Rails, but with support for the more modern, data-oriented style of web app development. It's especially good for building realtime features like chat.

Installation

With node installed:

# Get the latest stable release of Sails
$ npm install sails -g

> ######Upgrading from 0.10 or 0.11? > The v0.12 release of Sails contains a few breaking changes which affect userland. To read the v0.12 migration guide, click here.

Your First Sails Project

Create a new app:

# Create the app
$ sails new testProject

Lift sails:

# cd into the new folder
$ cd testProject

# fire up the server
$ sails lift

Generate a REST API:

Compatibility

Sails is built on Node.js, Connect, Express, and Socket.io.

Sails controllers are compatible with Connect middleware, so in most cases, you can paste code into Sails from an existing Express project and everything will work-- plus you'll be able to use WebSockets to talk to your API, and vice versa.

The ORM, Waterline, has a well-defined adapter system for supporting all kinds of datastores. Officially supported databases include MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, local disk, and local memory. Community adapters exist for CouchDB, neDB, TingoDB, SQLite, Oracle, MSSQL, DB2, ElasticSearch, Riak, neo4j, OrientDB, Amazon RDS, DynamoDB, Azure Tables, RethinkDB and Solr; for various 3rd-party REST APIs like Quickbooks, Yelp, and Twitter, including a configurable generic REST API adapter; plus some eclectic projects.

Sails was built and is actively maintained by Balderdash Design Company (@balderdashy) and The Treeline Company (@treelinehq), with the help of many other amazing contributors. Our core team consists of:

Back in 2012, we were designing/builing scalable Node.js apps for startups and enterprise customers. After building a few applications and taking them into production, we realized that the Node.js development landscape was very much still the Wild West. Over time, after trying lots of different methodologies, we decided to crystallize all of our best practices into this framework. Four years later, Sails is now one of the most widely-used web application frameworks in the world. We hope it saves you some time! 😃

License

> Sails is built around so many great open-source technologies that it would never have crossed our minds to keep it proprietary. We owe huge gratitude and props to TJ Holowaychuk (@visionmedia) and Guillermo Rauch (@rauchg) for the work they've done, as well as the stewards of all the other open-source modules we use. Sails could never have been developed without your tremendous contributions to the node community.
