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-sails
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 () {
$sails.get("/bars")
.success(function (data) {
$scope.bars = data;
})
.error(function (data) {
alert('Houston, we got a problem!');
});
$sails.on("message", function (message) {
if (message.verb === "create") {
$scope.bars.push(message.data);
}
});
}());
});
Angular Sails wraps the native sails.js REST functions. For further information check out the sails docs and Mike's Screencast
The sails service is nothing more like the native socket.io object!
