Example CRUD SailsJs and MySql

SailsJs and Mysql example

Create CRUD with SailsJs and MySql.

Installs

Install Node js

Download Node.Js from this url Node.js.

We check Node.Js, in the command-line tool:

$ npm -v

$ node -v

Install SaislJs

We can see how install Saisl from this url Saisl.js.

To install with the command-line tool:

$ npm -g install sails

Let's check if "Sails" was installed correctly:

$ sails -v

Create a new Sails app

$ cd /you/path/project/
$ sails new crudUser
$ cd crudUser

Now lift the server and after you visit http://localhost:1337/:

$ sails lift

Let's to create model and controller User:

$ sails generate api user

This created two files, api/models/User.js(model) and api/controllers/UserController.js(controller).

Install Mysql if you don't have installed before

Download Mysql from this url MySql.

You can see the documentation for settings Mysql.

CREATE DATABASE test;

Create table of users:

CREATE TABLE `test`.`users` (
  `id` INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `firstName` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `lastName` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `email` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `phone` VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `address` VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `createdData` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
  `updateDate` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
  PRIMARY KEY(`id`)
)
ENGINE = InnoDB
CHARACTER SET utf8;

Let's Integrate Sails and Mysql

MySQL adapter for the Sails framework and Waterline ORM. Install from npm sails-mysql:

$ npm install --save sails-mysql

setting MySql on SailsJs, add the next code into config/connections.js:

  mysqlTest: {
    adapter: 'sails-mysql',
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'root', //optional
    password: 'root', //optional
    database: 'test' //optional
  }

and change settings on config/models.js:

  connection: 'mysqlTest',
  migrate: 'safe',
  schema: true

Now, modify api/models/User.js:

module.exports = {
  // Name table in database
  tableName: 'users',

  // attributes: types, validations ans defaults values
  attributes: {
    id: {
      type: 'integer',
      autoIncrement: true,
      primaryKey: true
    },
    firstName: {
      type: 'string',
      required: true,
      size: 45
    },
    lastName: {
      type: 'string',
      required: true,
      size: 45
    },
    email: {
      type: 'email',
      unique: true,
      required: true,
      size: 100
    },
    phone: {
      type: 'string',
      required: true
    },
    address: {
      type: 'string',
      required: true,
      size: 30
    },
    createdData: {
      type: 'datetime'
    },
    updateDate: {
      type: 'datetime',
      defaultsTo: function () {
        return new Date();
      }
    }
  },
  // before execute function createsss
  beforeCreate: function (values, cb) {
    values.createdData = new Date();
    cb();
  }
};
