0.10.0-rc9 Changelog

• Associations

  • Adapter-level support for optimized joins (SQL databases and Mongo)
  • Built-in support for in-memory joins. Allows for cross-database and even cross-adapter joins! (e.g. a User in Mongo has many Messages in a MySQL database called legacy_messages, and also a Role in a MySQL database called myapp. These can be automatically joined together using the same ORM syntax as normal.)

• Better Error Handling in Waterline

• Revamped Sails CLI

  • Generators w/ support for coffeescript
  • Support for dry runs (--dry) for sails generate and sails new
  • Experimental support for custom generators

• API Blueprints

  • Blueprints are injected into project, allowing the built-in API to be customized.
  • Dramatic simplification of how blueprints are injected-- by implicitly including them in the routes file.
  • Backwards compatibility for blueprints on <=v0.9 apps can be achieved by plugging in a simple config to re-enable the traditional support and configurations.
  • Blueprint routes automatically take associations into account, e.g.:
    • GET /user/2/dogs -- get dogs belonging to user #2
    • GET /user/2/dad -- get dad belonging to user #2
    • PUT /user/2/dogs -- add a dog to user #2
    • DELETE /user/2/dogs/2 -- remove dog #5 from user #2

• PubSub

  • Simplified dramatically- removed concept of class rooms (most of the time, this isn't exactly what you want anyways)
  • Blueprints still work the same way by introspecting your app's schema and taking advantage of information about assocations to create logical publish/subscribe dependencies, relying on the global channel in cases where a shared instance doesn't exist.
  • Reduced to a handful of simple methods:
    • SomeModel.publish() -- publish to model instance
    • SomeModel.subscribe() -- subscribe socket to model instance
    • SomeModel.unsubscribe() -- unsubscribe socket from model instance
    • sails.publish() -- publish to global channel
    • sails.subscribe() -- subscribe socket to global channel
    • sails.unsubscribe() -- unsubscribe socket to global channel

• Error Negotiation Shortcuts

  • Automatically content-negotiate a response-- configurable in 500.js, 404.js, 400.js, 403.js
  • res.serverError( msgOrObj )
  • res.notFound()
  • res.forbidden( msgOrObj )
  • res.badRequest( msgOrObj )
