sails lift
Run the Sails app in the current dir (if node_modules/sails exists, it will be used instead of the globally installed Sails).
sails lift
By default, Sails lifts your app in development mode. In the development environment, Sails uses Grunt to keep an eye on your files in /assets. If you change something (for example in one of your .css or .less files) and reload your browser, you'll notice that your changes are reflected automatically.
Also note that, in development mode, your view templates won't be cached in memory. So, like assets, you can also change your view files without restarting Sails.
Any changes to back-end logic or configuration (e.g. the files in
config/,api/, ornode_modules/) will not take effect unless you kill and restart the server (CTRL+C +sails lift).
Usage:
sails lift takes the following options:
--prod- in production environment--port <portNum>- on the port specified byportNuminstead of the default (1337)--verbose- with verbose logging enabled--silly- with insane logging enabled
