How do I change the default path of sails view files?

Perhaps I want to store my views in the / pages directory. The following code in the sails catalog configurations does not restore the browse path:

  paths: {
    views: path.normalize(__dirname + '/../pages')
  }

but the code for the public dir works well:

  paths: {
    public: path.normalize(__dirname + '/../any_public_dir')
  }

What can I do?

Due to the way Sails is loading the config, it is currently not possible to change the path for most things from a file in a folder config

. However, you can do this in a file .sailsrc

:



{
  "paths": {
    "views": "../pages"
  }
}

If you do not use sails lift

, but have your own application and raise it inside:

var Sails = require('sails');
Sails.lift({}, function(err, server) {});

then you can point the path there

var Sails = require('sails');
Sails.lift({
  //environment: 'test', // if you need to set 
  //hooks:{foo: false}, // if you want to disable some of them
  paths: { views: 'mydir/views' }, // relative to appDir
}, function(err, server) {});


You can later (in the sail controllers / services) get the current dir views:

var vdir = sails.config.paths.views;

To get other custom templates console.log(Object.keys(sails.config));
