// ...
});
Usage
| Argument | Type | Details | |

| 1 | url | The destination URL path, e.g. "/checkout". | |
| 2 | data | Optional request data. If provided, it will be JSON-encoded and included as the virtual HTTP body. | |
| 3 | callback | Optional callback. If provided, it will be called when the server responds. |
Callback
| Argument | Type | Details | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | resData | Data received in the response from the Sails server (=== jwres.body, and also equivalent to the HTTP response body). |
|
| 2 | jwres | A JSON WebSocket Response object. Has headers, a body, and a statusCode. |

<script>
io.socket.post('/users', { name: 'Timmy Mendez' }, function (resData, jwRes) {
jwRes.statusCode; // => 200
});
</script>
Notes
- Remember that you can communicate with any of your routes using socket requests.
- Need to customize request headers? Check out the slightly lower-level
io.socket.request()method. To set custom headers for all outgoing requests, check outio.sails.headers.
For a better experience on sailsjs.com, update your browser.
