sails-memory

Tested with Sails 0.9

Extract from my bootstrap.test.js

This populates barrels with the fixtures, saves the states and then saves the state restoring it before running each test

var setupFixtures = _.once(() => new Promise(function (resolve) {
  barrels.populate([
    'centres',
    'subjects',
    'movement',
    'detainee',
    'event',
    'heartbeat',
    'prebooking',
    'bed',
    'bedevent',
    'port'
  ], function (err) {
    if (err) throw err;
    Sails.adapters['sails-memory'].saveState('test');
    resolve();
  });

}));


module.exports = {
  beforeEach: () => setupFixtures()
      .then(() => {
        Sails.adapters['sails-memory'].restoreState('test');
      });
  }
};

An in-memory object store which works great as a bundled, starter database (with the strict caveat that it is for non-production use only).
