Node. Js: Building REST APIs with Sails. js(v1.0)

Sails. js is a JavaScript back-end framework that makes it easy to build custom, enterprise-grade Node. js apps.

It is designed to emulate the familiar MVC pattern of frameworks like Ruby on Rails, but with support for the requirements of modern apps: data-driven APIs with a scalable, service-oriented architecture. It's especially good for building chat, real-time dashboards, or multiplayer games; but you can use it for any web application project - top to bottom. Whether you're a front-end developer seeking to expand your back-end knowledge, or a server-side developer unfamiliar with using Node and JavaScript on the back-end, the common denominator we all share is a desire to create web applications.

Sails is designed to be compatible with whatever strategy you have for building your front-end, whether it be Angular, Backbone, iOS/ObjC, Android/Java, or even a "headless" app that just offers up a raw API to be used by another web service or your developer community. Sails is great for building everyday back-end apps that handle HTTP requests and WebSockets. What can you build with Sails.
