Ligo

At the moment Ligo is in development. I bumped into some things I had to solve related to the school assignment. I keep a very detailed desciption of these things in my Wiki. I'll give a brief overview of them right here

Waterline ORM & MongoDB Lazy Loading

The .populate() function that belongs to the Waterline ORM creates joins. Because MongoDB doesn't have a joins functionallity it automatically falls back on a polyfill that artifically joins values. Unfortunately this polyfill sends multiplue request in orderto achieve this.

naitive $lookup query

Why I switched from MongoDB to SQL

1. no eager support waterline
2. no eager support mongoose
3. time
4. thw goal

ACL

I used policies

Lean controllers

I am going to use services

LESS > SASS

Used to sass so I might replace Less (depents on how awesome my imported library is)

Loading stylesheets

I am going to run the grunt tasks & sails-linker stuff with views

URL's in views

used sails.getUrlFor(contoller.action)

Debugging

sails.log.error sails.log.debug were extremly helpfull when debugging server side issues
