sailsjs将参数传递给常规路线

Question

I have read the documentation about Controllers to generate response in actions. But I am having questions about some other non-controller views. In the config/views,

'/':{view:'homepage'}

I am wondering, if I want to pass in parameters in to the homepage template, how would I do that?

Answer 1

You can pass variables into your template by setting locals in the route config:

'GET /': {
  view: 'homepage',
  locals: {
    username: 'foo',
    email: 'foo@bar.com',
    ...etc...
  }
}

This is equivalent to the following in a controller:

res.view('homepage', {username: 'foo', email: 'foo@bar.com'});
