api/controllers/
This is the directory that holds your controllers. In Sails, controllers are JavaScript files that contain logic for interacting with models and rendering appropriate views to the client.
When you call sails generate api cats via the command line from inside your project's root directory, Sails will generate the file api/controllers/CatsController.js along with a matching model.
The api/controllers directory can also contain standalone actions, which are JavaScript files containing a single controller action, rather than a dictionary of actions.
See the main actions and controllers documentation for more info.

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!
