config/policies.js
This file contains the default policies for your app.
Policies are simply Express middleware functions which run before your controllers. You can apply one or more policies to a given controller, or protect just one of it's actions. Any policy file (e.g. api/policies/isLoggedIn.js) can be dropped into the api/policies/ folder, at which point it can be accessed by it's filename, minus the extension, (e.g. isLoggedIn).
Usage
See sails.config.policies for all available options.

Anatomy of a Sails App
Built with Love
The Sails framework is built by a web & mobile shop in Austin, TX, with the help of our contributors. We created Sails in 2012 to assist us on Node.js projects. Naturally we open-sourced it. We hope it makes your life a little bit easier!
