//Food.js

module.exports = {

  attributes: {

    foodName: {
      type: 'string',
      required: true,
      unique: true
    },
    imgUrl: {
      type: 'string'
      //required: true
    }

  }

};

While saving the food item If I am giving "Roasted Fennel & Apple + Curried Red Lentils" as food name, then in MongoDB it is saving like "Roasted Fennel". It's not allowing any chars after "&".

Can anyone plz help me how to save special chars like "&","+" etc.

You can try to set back slash on your controller and finally have Roasted Fennel \& Apple \+ Curried Red Lentils if you put it on input text they are change direct http request – jaumard Apr 17 '15 at 08:15
In sails controller also I am not getting what exactly given in the view by using req.param("foodName") . May be it's due to angularJs scope variable as I am using angular controller to get the data from scope variable and again passing to Sails controller by calling rest api. – Bipneswar Mangaraj Apr 17 '15 at 08:27
so the problem it's not mongoDB, I think you have a problem between your view and controller please show us your code – jaumard Apr 17 '15 at 08:29
Yes @Jaumard. You are right. Let me look into my angular controller. – Bipneswar Mangaraj Apr 17 '15 at 08:36
