api/models/

This is the directory that holds your models. In Sails, models are the structures that contain data for your Sails App.

You can learn more about how to define and use models in Concepts > Models and ORM > Models, and about how to generate them here.

Built with Love

The Sails framework is built by a web & mobile shop in Austin, TX, with the help of our contributors. We created Sails in 2012 to assist us on Node.js projects. Naturally we open-sourced it. We hope it makes your life a little bit easier!
