sails.config.blueprints

By default, Sails controllers automatically bind routes for each of their functions. Additionally, each controller will automatically bind routes for a CRUD API controlling the model which matches its name, if one exists.

Properties

Property Type Default Details
actions ((boolean)) true Whether routes are automatically generated for every action in your controllers (also maps index to /:controller) '/:controller', '/:controller/index', and '/:controller/:action'
rest ((boolean)) true Automatic REST blueprints enabled? e.g. 'get /:controller/:id?' 'post /:controller' 'put /:controller/:id' 'delete /:controller/:id'
shortcuts ((boolean)) true These CRUD shortcuts exist for your convenience during development, but you'll want to disable them in production.: '/:controller/find/:id?', '/:controller/create', '/:controller/update/:id', and '/:controller/destroy/:id'
prefix ((string)) '' Optional mount path prefix for blueprints (the automatically bound routes in your controllers) e.g. '/api/v2'
pluralize ((boolean)) false Optionally use plural controller names in blueprint routes, e.g. /users for api/controllers/UserController.js.
populate ((boolean)) true Whether the blueprint controllers should populate model fetches with data from other models which are linked by associations. If you have a lot of data in one-to-many associations, leaving this on may result in very heavy api calls.
defaultLimit ((integer)) 30 The default number of records to show in the response from a "find" action. Doubles as the default size of populated arrays if populate is true.
autoWatch ((boolean)) true Whether to run Model.watch() in the find and findOne blueprint actions. Can be overridden on a per-model basis.
jsonp ((boolean)) false Optionally wrap blueprint JSON responses in a JSONP callback using res.jsonp() from Express 3.
