How to call stored procedure using sails-sqlserver? - sails.js

Question

I am new to sails. I want to call stored procedure using sails-sqlserver adapter. Procedure returns result set using a query which join multiple table.

Answer 1

I was able to figure out how to call procedure. I am connecting to SQL server database. sails doesn't provide default adapter to connect to SQL Server. I have used sails-sqlserver adapter for this.
few points which I observed.
To call a procedure or query we need a model.
You don't need to have table with model name in database. You also don't need
to specify attributes in model file.
When I used dash "-" in my model name it was not working. example "Report-data"
I used underscore in my model name and it worked. example "Report_data"
To generate controller and model I used below command:
sails generate api Report_data
Above command will create controller file and model file.
You need to add route in route.js file. example this is what I did
'/api/Report_data':{
controller:'Report_dataController',
action: 'getReport'
}
You need to write action inside controller "Report_data". Below is my controller code
module.exports = {
'getReport':function(req,res){
Report_data.query('get_sample_report',function(err,resultSet){
if(err){
res.json(err);
}
else{
res.ok(resultSet);
}
});
}
};
That's it. Lift sails and call api in browser:
http://localhost:1337/api/Report_data
Note: I had disabled all blueprint/waterline default routes in blueprint.js file
//blueprint.js
action:false,
rest:false,
shortcuts:false
Also if your sql server connection is not working please make sure that you don't provide port in host name. example my host name for sql server which I used in sql server management studio is "servername.domainname.com/zone1,1433".
When I used same host name in connection.js file. it didn't work. I removed "zone1,1433" from connection.js file (host property) and connection worked.
