Interesting opinion: sails.js. (RESTful interface + Socket.IO) + Angular.js Frontend?

Question

Angular

An interesting opinion about the bundle:
sails.js. (RESTful interface + Socket.IO) + Angular.js Frontend
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

We tried to play around with such a bunch at a hackathon, it turned out quite worthy. True, they did not have time to fasten socket.io, there was not enough time.
Of the benefits:
1) Quick start (sails.js generates models + REST, we were able to quickly fill the database with test data)
2) Convenient launch
3) One programming language on the backend and frontend
4) I liked the regular ORM, nothing more and works smartly. The association mechanism also seemed like an interesting solution.
Of the minuses, perhaps it is worth noting the dampness of sails.js and not enough documentation. Also, it seems to me that on more or less complex projects, one can come across limitations. For example, we did not manage to understand how to add aggregated data from other tables to the output when selecting data (we needed the sum of different types of likes for one object in one request) - the feeling that this can be done, but it is not clear how.
