res.created()
This method is used to send a 201 ("Created") response back down to the client indicating that one or more resources have been successfully created.
Usage
return res.created();
Or:
return res.created(data);return res.created(data, pathToView);
Details
Like the other built-in custom response modules, the behavior of this method is customizable.
By default, it works as follows:
- If the request "wants JSON" (e.g. the request originated from AJAX, WebSockets, or a REST client like cURL), Sails will send the provided response
dataas JSON. If nodatais provided a default response body will be sent (the string"Created"). - If the request does not "want JSON" (e.g. a URL typed into a web browser), Sails will attempt to serve one of your views.
- If a specific
pathToViewwas provided, Sails will attempt to use that view. - Alternatively if
pathToViewwas not provided, Sails will attempt to guess the appropriate response view. If that view does not exist, Sails will just send JSON. - If Sails serves a view, the
dataargument will be accessible as a view local:data.
- If a specific
Example
Using the default view:
return res.created('New widget created.');
With a custom view:
return res.created(
'New widget created.',
'widgets/created'
);
Notes
- This method is terminal, meaning it is generally the last line of code your app should run for a given request (hence the advisory usage of
returnthroughout these docs).res.created()(like other userland response methods) can be overridden or modified. It runs the response method defined in/responses/created.js, which is bundled automatically in newly generated Sails apps. If acreated.jsresponse method does not exist in your app, Sails will implicitly use the default behavior.- If
pathToViewrefers to a missing view, this method will respond as if the request "wants JSON".
