SailsJS - How to render views in server

Question

Can please someone let me know how to render all the views in the server and send it to the web browser ? Just like any other PHP framework would do ?

Is this feasible at all ?

Please be more specific. What do you mean by "ALL" views? As display_name says the view gets rendered on the server before send to client browser. — DarkLeafyGreen, Apr 23 '14 at 09:06

Read through the Sails.js documentation.

In the controllers section you can learn about the Response Object. On the response object you have a function called view().

So you can use res.view() to render a view and send it to the client. Typical example:

functionNameHere: function(req, res, next) {
    res.view({
        data: {first: "one", second: "two"}
    });
}

Sails.js is built on top of Express.js. There are already plenty of tutorials on how to use Express on the internet.

Here is the documentation for Express.

The views are rendered on server side, aren't they? – DarkLeafyGreen Apr 23 '14 at 09:01
Yes, the view is rendered server side. If you use a templating engine, like EJS for example, the view will first be rendered, then sent to the client. – aludvigsen Apr 23 '14 at 09:04

Just put:

YourFunctionName : function (req,res) {
    res.view('yourview', option, data);
}

The parameters are optional depending on the way you need and you put your route.js file.

Read the controllers section on: http://sailsjs.org/#!documentation/controllers
