Create config variables in sails.js?

I'm converting an app of mine from Express to [sails.js](

[To see links please register here]

) - is there a way I can do something like this in Sails?

From my `app.js` file in Express:

var globals = {
name: 'projectName',
author: 'authorName'
};

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
globals.page_title = 'Home';
res.render('index', globals);
});

This let me access those variables on every view without having to hardcode them into the template. Not sure how/where to do it in Sails though.

You can create your own config file in `config/` folder. For example `config/myconf.js` with your config variables:

module.exports.myconf = {
name: 'projectName',
author: 'authorName',

anyobject: {
bar: "foo"
}
};

and then access these variables from any view via global `sails` variable.



###In a view:

<!-- views/foo/bar.ejs -->
<%= sails.config.myconf.name %>
<%= sails.config.myconf.author %>


###In a [service]()


// api/services/FooService.js
module.exports = {

/**
* Some function that does stuff.
*
* @param {[type]} options [description]
* @param {Function} cb [description]
*/
lookupDumbledore: function(options, cb) {

// `sails` object is available here:
var conf = sails.config;
cb(null, conf.whatever);
}
};

// `sails` is not available out here
// (it doesn't exist yet)
console.log(sails); // ==> undefined


###In a model:
// api/models/Foo.js
module.exports = {
attributes: {
// ...
},

someModelMethod: function (options, cb) {

// `sails` object is available here:
var conf = sails.config;
cb(null, conf.whatever);
}
};

// `sails is not available out here
// (doesn't exist yet)


###In a controller:

> Note: This works the same way in policies.


// api/controllers/FooController.js
module.exports = {
index: function (req, res) {

// `sails` is available in here

return res.json({
name: sails.config.myconf.name
});
}
};

// `sails is not available out here
// (doesn't exist yet)

I just made a service which delivers a value:

maxLimbs: function(){
var maxLimbs = 15;
return maxLimbs;
}
