How in Sails to access globals in assets?

Question

I am using Sails JS and would like to access globals (sails.config.myGlobals) in my assets, currently in js files.

I would have hoped I there is a similar way like injecting in ejs files. But its not.

Any ideas? Do I have to do a Grunt task for that?

Answer 1

I don't think this is possible with Sails.

However, what you can do is setting the variable in a ejs view file to access its value in your js asset file.

// someView.ejs
<script>
    myGlobals = '<%= config.myGlobals %>';
</script>
