Create new Environment config sails.js

Question

There are 2 to Environments config on /config/env/

development.js and production.js

You can run production config with: sails lift --prod

development runs by default: sails lift

how to create staging environment config like /config/env/staging.js and run with: sails lift --staging

Answer 1

The --prod argument is built-in to the Sails CLI; there's no mechanism for adding new arguments to that currently. But you can get the same effect using the NODE_ENV environment variable:

linux & mac:

export NODE_ENV=staging sails lift

windows:

set NODE_ENV=production

Answer 2

It is extremely easy in sails 0.11. Now you can just add subfolder to you config/env directory and sails engine will interpret it as new environment.

In your case you just need to create folder config/env/staging, put there all needed configuration files and start your application with

NODE_ENV=staging sails lift

Migration guide for sails 0.11 you can find in documentation.
