Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

IT'S NOT SAILS PROJECT

Website   Getting Started   Docs   Submit Issue

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   NPM version

With node installed:

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

######Upgrading from v0.9? Be sure and check out the v0.10 upgrading guide.

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, SQLite, Oracle, MSSQL, DB2, ElasticSearch, Riak, neo4j, Amazon RDS, DynamoDB, Azure Tables, and RethinkDB; for various 3rd-party REST APIs like Quickbooks, Yelp, and Twitter, including a configurable generic REST API adapter; plus some eclectic projects.

Issue Submission

Make sure you've read the issue submission guidelines before opening a new issue.

Sails is composed of a number of different sub-projects, many of which have their own dedicated repository. If you suspect an issue in one of Sails sub-modules, you'll usually find its repo on the organization page. Click here to search/post issues in this repository.

Team

Sails is actively built and maintained by Balderdash (@balderdashy), a realtime web & mobile studio, with the help of these contributors:

Mike McNeil | Cody Stoltman | Scott Gress | Greg Thornton | Zoli Kahan :---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---: Mike McNeil | Cody Stoltman | Scott Gress | Greg Thornton | Zoli Kahan

Balderdash designs/builds scalable Node.js apps for startups and enterprise customers. After building a few apps 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. I hope it saves you some time :)

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 (@guille) for the work they did, 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.
