SailsJs res.render vs res.view
express, node.js, sails.js
Solution
`res.render` is an expressJS method, while `res.view` is a SailsJs method. The latter wraps the requested view in the default layout unless a different layout is requested. So you'll have to decide whether you want just the compiled template you're requesting (`res.render`) or the more complete view (`res.view`).
Problem
I'm trying to use SailsJs to make a simple authentication web app with PassportJs + EJS template engine. This is my code in the AuthenController.coffee ``` processSignin: (req, res) -> passport.authenticate('local', (err, user, info) -> if err or not user return res.view('auth/signin', message:'failed') req.logIn user, (err) -> return res.view('auth/signin', message:'failed') if err res.redirect '/' ) req, res return ``` If I use: `res.render('/auth/login', { message:'err' })` the browser only return HTML code of the login.ejs If I use: `res.view('/auth/login', { message:'err' })` then it return login.ejs code wrapped in the layout.ejs's <%-body%> Any explanation for this different? Is it a new feature of Sails or built-in of Express? Where I can find documents about this?
