Create config variables in sails.js?

You can create your own config file in config/ folder. For example config/myconf.js with your config variables:

module.exports.myconf = {    name: 'projectName',    author: 'authorName',    anyobject: {      bar: "foo"    }};

and then access these variables from any view via global sails variable.

In a view:

<!-- views/foo/bar.ejs --><%= sails.config.myconf.name %><%= sails.config.myconf.author %>

In a service

// api/services/FooService.jsmodule.exports = {  /**   * Some function that does stuff.   *   * @param  {[type]}   options [description]   * @param  {Function} cb      [description]   */  lookupDumbledore: function(options, cb) {    // `sails` object is available here:    var conf = sails.config;    cb(null, conf.whatever);  }};// `sails` is not available out here// (it doesn't exist yet)console.log(sails);  // ==> undefined

In a model:

// api/models/Foo.jsmodule.exports = {  attributes: {    // ...  },  someModelMethod: function (options, cb) {    // `sails` object is available here:    var conf = sails.config;    cb(null, conf.whatever);  }};// `sails is not available out here// (doesn't exist yet)

In a controller:

Note: This works the same way in policies.

// api/controllers/FooController.jsmodule.exports = {  index: function (req, res) {    // `sails` is available in here    return res.json({      name: sails.config.myconf.name    });  }};// `sails is not available out here// (doesn't exist yet)

I just made a service which delivers a value:

maxLimbs: function(){        var maxLimbs = 15;        return maxLimbs;    }
