Optimal approach for organizing code in Sails.js (Node.js) applications

In my application, I have different parts such as Public API, Admin API, Admin Console (GUI), Private API, and Auth API (oauth2, local, socials). Although these components are distinct from each other, they share the same models. Some routes will experience a high volume of requests per second and cannot be cached.

I am seeking advice on best practices for properly organizing and splitting these components. I am also open to exploring alternative frameworks, including io.js.

Currently, I am considering three options:

  1. Creating separate apps for each part.
  2. Grouping controllers by folders and devising a method to group routes accordingly.
  3. Setting up another instance of the sails app and running it in a separate process. This allows me to have all controllers and models, but I need guidance on structuring the subapp using this approach.

Answer №1

It seems that opinions may vary, but organizing controllers into subfolders presents the simplest method for sharing models (although not the only method available).

In addition, utilizing these subfolders can facilitate implementing policies as well.

However, it is important to consider other factors related to your question such as shared templates or assets, and whether differences between applications would hinder collaboration. Will all applications utilize the same sessions, or will there be variations?

Ultimately, based on the information provided in your question, sails appears capable of fulfilling your requirements.
