11. Typical Node App • Everyone tries to reinvent the wheel • No common structure • Security problems
15. “Node on Sails for modern apps.” P.S: I’m looking at you Ruby on Rails
16. Modern App? • APIs • Security • Realtime
17. Sails • Convention over Configuration via MVC • Seamless Realtime powered by Socket.io • Automatic API generation via Blueprints. • Security & Access Control via Policies.
18. MVC • Good ol’ MVC. Just like Rails, Django, Symfony e.g • Views are EJS by default. Can be anything you prefer ( Jade e.g)
19. Waterline • Totally Database Agnostic ( SQL and NoSQL) • ORM + ODM • Same code to retrieve data from different adapters. • Easily Customizable
20. Realtime = Easy • WebSockets <3 • Translates incoming socket messages to be compatible with all of your routes. • No need to have a separate code base
21. Blueprints • Just like Rails’ scaffolds but for APIs. • Built-in search, sort, pagination and complex queries. • Can be protected / controlled via policies.
22. Policies • Reusable • Basically Express Middleware • Preprocessing or protecting to handle requests for controllers. • Can be used for access control, authentication,request limiting or anything you can think of.
23. Associations • PostgreSQL + MongoDB. Seriously? • Cross-connection. Different hosts, users, easy legact data integration, e.g join two PostgreSQL databases with different schemas.
24. Other Goodies • Flexible Asset Pipeline. Customizable, Grunt- based, can be used with all the existing plugins. • Custom Generators • REPL • Internationalization
