Adding Custom methods #83

Closed johntom closed 9 years ago

johntom commented 9 years ago

Hi, I'm having an issue adding a custom route, something I routinely do when using my repo and I'm not sure why I get the referrence error "model[Book] is not defined" when it hits the route http://localhost:1337/booktest?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.Mg._bgkwMqrKxFvVhupixHLIfvF5WpbihENyFpTQN5Eito

Thanks, John

If I add the following route 'GET /booktest': 'BookController.booktest' and method to BookController module.exports = .merge(.cloneDeep(require('../base/Controller')), { booktest: function(req, res) { console.log('books.........'); Book.find().exec(function (err, books) { if (err) return res.negotiate(err); return res.json(books);//{'data':todos}); }); } });

console

books.........

That is because I have disabled all other globals that sails itself. See backend/config/globals.js for more information.

So basically Book.find() => sails.models.book.find() should work.

Thanks again, I've spent the bulk of my sails time in version 0.10.5 so I'm a bit behind and will start reading more about 0.11. So either
sails.models.book.find().exec(function (err, books) { if (err) return res.negotiate(err); return res.json(books);//{'data':todos}); }); or chaning models:true in globals.js does the trick and Book.find().exec(function (err, books) {

tarlepp commented 9 years ago

Yep, i recommend that you disabled all but sails on those globals and then just use sails.models.foobar.find() or sails.services.yourservice.method()

This is basically sails related stuff nothing todo with my repo....
