Sails.js (orSails)[2] is amodel–view–controller (MVC)web application framework developed atop theNode.js environment,[3]: 1, 19 released asfree and open-source software under theMIT License.[4][5] It is designed for Node.jsweb applications andAPIs[4] with similar architecture toRuby on Rails.[3]: 19
Sails.js is built on Node.js andExpress.js, enabling applications to be written in JavaScript. This includes models, views, controllers, configuration files, and adapters (e.g., database). Similar to Ruby on Rails,[2] Sails.js provides anobject-relational mapping interface using Waterline.js, which abstracts the database interaction layer.[6]
A number of other packages are included to enable fast auto-generatedREST APIs,WebSockets by default usingSocket.io;[2] and compatibility features making it front-end agnostic (AngularJS,React.js,Android,iOS, etc.).
