Sails.js

Sails.js

first install sails gloabaly:
sudo npm install -g sails

During development, Sails auto generates all your js, less, image files in the assets folder.
everything in /assets/* will be accesible through: http://localhost:1337/*

Install forever. (Other packages are available for this, but this is what I use)

[sudo] npm install forever -g
Create your new Sails.js application wherever you want:
sails new awesomeApplication
cd awesomeApplication

Now you want to add a file called .foreverignore
nano .foreverignore
Add the following lines to the file

**/.tmp/**
**/views/**
**/assets/**

Now when you lift your application instead of using

sails lift
you use...

forever -w -f start app.js 
# -w to watch for file changes!
# -f to keep seeing the stdout logs
