Building one page apps with angularjs and sails.js backend

Question

I just found out about sails.js and i think it's really awesome. I want to build apps with sails and angular, but i haven't found any guides on doing this. I found this site which is supposed to have a talk on using sails.js instead on express in the mean stack, but there's not video there. I would be glad for links to videos or blog posts on how to do this. Thanks all.

Answer 1

This is getting downvoted because its not a direct question about code.

I have a boilerplate sailsjs app that you can use to model your own off of..

This is based on v0.10 which is in beta right now, but the same concept applies.

Answer 2

I've created a simple yet powerful angular service, published as a bower component: https://github.com/diegopamio/angular-sails-bind

It basically:

• Creates the model inside the $scope for you.
• Retrieves the model data from the backend using socket.
• Watches for changes made by the user in the UI and updates the backend immediately.
• Watches for changes made in the backend and updates the UI immediately.

And it does it with just one line of code in your angular app, like this: $sailsBind("", $scope);

I made it as part of a personal project and then I decided to publish it as it could benefit others. It works with sails 0.10. Let me know if it suits your needs or if you'd like to see something else on it.
