Angular Sails
This small module allows you to use Sails.JS's awesome socket.io api with AngularJS.
Just add a dependency to your module and controllers and get it going!
Install it:
bower install angular-sailsYou must also include sails.io.js in order to use this.
Usage
For a more complex example, have a look at the tutorial by Maarten.
A small example:
var app = angular.module("MyApp", ['ngSails']);
//OPTIONAL! Set socket URL!
app.config(['$sailsProvider', function ($sailsProvider) {
$sailsProvider.url = 'http://foo.bar';
}]);
app.controller("FooController", function ($scope, $sails) {
$scope.bars = [];
(function () {
// Using .success() and .error()
$sails.get("/bars")
.success(function (data, status, headers, jwr) {
$scope.bars = data;
})
.error(function (data, status, headers, jwr) {
alert('Houston, we got a problem!');
});
// Using .then()
$sails.get("/bars")
.then(function(resp){
$scope.bars = resp.data;
}, function(resp){
alert('Houston, we got a problem!');
});
// Watching for updates
var barsHandler = $sails.on("bars", function (message) {
if (message.verb === "created") {
$scope.bars.push(message.data);
}
});
// Stop watching for updates
$scope.$on('$destroy', function() {
$sails.off('bars', barsHandler);
});
}());
});API Reference
Sails.JS REST
Angular Sails wraps the native sails.js REST functions. For further information check out the sails docs and Mike's Screencast
Native socket functions
The sails service is nothing more like the native socket.io object!
