    <p>You can create your own config file in <code>config/</code> folder. For example <code>config/myconf.js</code> with your config variables: </p> <pre><code>module.exports.myconf = { name: 'projectName', author: 'authorName', anyobject: { bar: "foo" } }; </code></pre> <p>and then access these variables from any view via global <code>sails</code> variable.</p> <h3>In a view:</h3> <pre><code>&lt;!-- views/foo/bar.ejs --&gt; &lt;%= sails.config.myconf.name %&gt; &lt;%= sails.config.myconf.author %&gt; </code></pre> <h3>In a <a href="https://gist.github.com/mikermcneil/8513795" rel="noreferrer">service</a></h3> <pre><code>// 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); // ==&gt; undefined </code></pre> <h3>In a model:</h3> <pre><code>// 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) </code></pre> <h3>In a controller:</h3> <blockquote> <p>Note: This works the same way in policies.</p> </blockquote> <pre><code>// 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) </code></pre>

    1. COTo simplify the access in the view, I went with something like `module.exports.name = 'projectName';` and accessed it with `sails.config.name`.

    3. COOf couse, to simplify access, you can write configs as `module.exports.name = 'projectName';`. All that you export from config files become part of global `sails.config` object. But I still recommend to wrap custom config variables in namespaces to avoid accidental replacing of important sails` config options.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
