sails-arangodb

Provides easy access to ArangoDB from Sails.js & Waterline.

Take a look at sails-arangodb-demo for more up-to-date examples.

This module is a Waterline/Sails adapter, an early implementation of a rapidly-developing, tool-agnostic data standard. Its goal is to provide a set of declarative interfaces, conventions, and best-practices for integrating with all sorts of data sources. Not just database s-- external APIs, proprietary web services, or even hardware.

Strict adherence to an adapter specification enables the (re)use of built-in generic test suites, standardized documentation, reasonable expectations around the API for your users, and overall, a more pleasant development experience for everyone.

This adapter has been developed pretty quickly and may contain bugs.

Installation

To install this adapter, run:

$ npm install sails-arangodb

Usage

This adapter exposes the following methods:

`find()`

`create()`

`update()`

`destroy()`

`neighbors()` # Experimental, method signature is subject to change

`createEdge()` # Experimental, method signature is subject to change

`deleteEdge()` # Experimental, method signature is subject to change

Connection

Check out Connections in the Sails docs, or see the config/connections.js file in a new Sails project for information on setting up adapters.
