SAILS-CBES adapter key, what is it? - sails.js

Question

I had issues correctly configuring my couchbase adapter in sails-js. I am using the sails-cbes adapter. The documentation fails to mention the key to use. For any who might struggle as I did, below is my configuration file:
{
...
//couchbase
cb: {
adapter: 'sails-cbes',
host: 'localhost',
port: 8091,
user: 'user',
pass: 'password',
bucket: {
name: 'bucket',
pass: 'bucketPassword'
}
}
},
...

Answer 1

Assuming that by 'key' you refer to the 'password' fields:
The first password is the one you set up in the dialogue the first time you log in to https://localhost:8091.
The bucket is not being created automatically so you would have to do that manually in couchbase. Then you have the option to set a password for the bucket itself, but the default is just empty string. Elasticsearch indexing is automated as long as you declare the mapping in the model.
The configuration file should be in sails-project/config/connections.js and it should look something like this:
sailsCbes: {
adapter: 'sails-cbes',
cb: { ... },
es: { ... }
}
You can try it out by creating a model within sails that uses this connection.
As for the dependencies, you need to install couchbase and elasticsearch yourself, then from the sails-cbes folder do a sudo npm install and you should be good to go. For test dependencies, run npm install inside the test folder.
Hope this helps

I think you don't understand how sailsjs adapter works.
Please spend some time and read the documentation of sailsjs, specially the connections configuration (adapters)
