Make a HTTP request in your Controller - sails.js

Is it possible to make a request in the controller? I have tried using the node.js http module but didn't have any succes. Is there any other method to do this?

Solution

  • Ok, I managed to solve this using another module 'request'. What I did:

    Install the module in your project:

    npm install -S request

    And in you code you should have: 

    var request = require('request');

request.get({
  url: <your url>
}, function(error, response, body) {
  if (error) {
    sails.log.error(error);
  }
  else {
    sails.log.info(response);
    sails.log.info(body);
  }
});
