sails.config.globals
Configuration for the global variables that Sails exposes to its Node process. The options are conventionally specified in the config/globals.js configuration file.
Properties
| Property | Type | Default | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
sails |
((boolean)) | true |
Expose the sails instance representing your app. If this is disabled, you can still get access via req._sails. |
models |
((boolean)) | true |
Expose each of your app's models as global variables (using their "globalId"). E.g. a model defined in api/models/User.js would have a globalId of User by default. If this is disabled, you can still access your models via sails.models.*. |
services |
((boolean)) | true |
Expose each of your app's services as global variables (using their "globalId"). E.g. a service defined in api/services/NaturalLanguage.js would have a globalId of NaturalLanguage by default. If this is disabled, you can still access your services via sails.services.*. |
_ |
((boolean)) | true |
Expose the lodash installed in Sails core as a global variable. If this is disabled, like any other node module you can always run npm install lodash --save, then var _ = require('lodash') at the top of any file. |
async |
((boolean)) | true |
Expose the async installed in Sails core as a global variable. If this is disabled, like any other node module you can always run npm install async --save, then var async = require('async') at the top of any file. |
Notes
- To disable all global variables, you can set
sails.config.globalstofalse.
