当控制器工作时，sailsjs更新视图

Question

Firstly I'm totally new to SailsJs. I've been asked to learn it and make some demo app. One of them is simply a loop in a controller and output each results in the view while the controller is still working. However it doesn't seem simple as that. After some research I found the async lib but I can't use it since we're using an older version of node and dependencies doesn't met and I can't use any other node version for some reason. So is there any way to do this without using any other lib? Maybe I should use sockets for this?

Answer 1

I would ask why you think you need the async library for this? I have written out a test controller below. In order to do what you want to do, you just have to use the express methods required and not use the custom responses that sails.js has built in.

TestController.js
module.exports.test = function(req,res,next){

 response.status(200).set('Content-Type', 'text/plain');;

 for(var i = 0; i < 10, i++){

 response.write(i);

 }
 return response.end();

};
