sails 1.0 sails.controllers

[Hodor9898]

Hi,

A lot of hooks used to add controllers using sails.controllers, since sails 1.0 that functionality is broken...
and a lot of useful dependencies do not work any more, I really am very disappointed in the sails team, so many useful dependencies stop working after each update, it is hard to work with this framework this way...

I tried using the sails-auth-new dependency and it doesn't work with sails 1.0 because it attempts to register its controllers which causes:

warn: Ignored attempt to bind route (/logout) to unknown action { controller: 'AuthController',
skipAssets: true,
action: 'logout' }

I am going to fork this dependency and try and fix it,
how can i register a controller?

Hi @Hodor9898,

A lot changed with the release of Sails 1.0, but that's not super unusual for a major version release -- and I firmly believe that most of the changes in 1.0 were for the better.

The thing about 3rd party packages is that they're not a core part of Sails, and because we don't maintain them ourselves, we have no control over their quality or compatibility with new versions of the framework. If your app depends on a lot of installable hooks that were developed specifically for Sails v0.12 and aren't compatible with 1.0, then it might make sense to hold off on upgrading your project until you've found other solutions.

To answer your question about how to register actions programmatically in a custom hook: check out the docs on sails.registerAction().

That said, it looks like you're trying to implement authentication for your app -- rather than relying on a 3rd party package for that, I highly recommend generating new apps with the "Web App" template if you're able to, which has login built in.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Hodor9898,
We are in the processes of moving all open Sails issues into one repository to help the devs keep a better eye on goings ons.
