Where is title or app name for sails.js (using node.js and express.js)?

Question

I\'m trying to change my websites name. Can\'t find where I can set title or app name.

Answer 1

You can create any file in config/ directory, for example config/app.js which contains comething like this:

module.exports = {
    appName : 'My App'
};

Any property of exported object become an option of Sails` config.

appName property is used as application title. For example, in default layout:

<title><%- title %></title>

where title === sails.config.appName === 'My App'

By default appName config variable is set to 'Sails'.

Answer 2

To customise your app's name simply add the following to the module.exports = { … } block in the file config/local.js

appName : 'My Brilliant App',

You can also override the page's title within your controller by passing in your own title value to the view renderer.

res.view({title: 'My brilliant title'});

and, to be SEO friendly, in your jade template specify

head
  title= sails.config.appName + " | " + title

Answer 3

I've got a good answer at the sails github issues#768.

Adding app name at the app.js and bootstrap.js file works fine for me.

Answer 4

As of Sails 1.2.2, you may change the app name in \views\layouts\layout.ejs on line 4: <title>Your App Name</title>.
