在Sails API中调用之前更改数据

Question

in the TaskController I'm trying to insert the current user (ie the user who created the task) into the newly created task.

Mostly I've been trying different ways to override create() but in the override call the original blueprint and let it continue as usual.

I found a bunch of answers but all seem outdated or otherwise not working. I wonder if there's something more updated.

I'm using Sails v1.0.0-37

Solution:

in \\tasks\\api\\controllers\\TaskController.js

  create: function (req, res) {
    req.query.createdBy = req.user.id;
    Task.create(req.query)
      .exec(function (err) {
        if (err) {
          return res.serverError(err);
        }
        return res.ok();
      });
  }

My issue:

During all my testing and experimenting I created an empty lifecycle callback of beforeCreate. Since it was empty, I never called cb() so the request just got stuck.
