Our short-to-medium-term roadmap items, in order of descending priority:
(feel free to suggest things)
| Feature | Owner | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Socket.io 1.0 | @mikermcneil | upgrade to Socket.io 1.0 |
| Hook dependency/load order mgmt | @mikermcneil | rebase the hook dependency+optional depenency system originally proposed by @ragulka |
| Standalone router | @mikermcneil | replace express dependency in lib/router with standalone router- either routification or @dougwilson's new project |
| Standalone view renderer | @mikermcneil | Use @fishrock123's standalone views module (enables views over sockets) |
| Standalone static middleware | @mikermcneil | use static middleware directly in lib/router (enables static files over sockets) |
| Request interpreter: Full stream support | @mikermcneil | Use new manufactured req/res streams in lib/hooks/sockets (this adds full streams2 compatibility to our socket.io integration, or more generally for any type of attached server) |
| Break out core hooks into separate modules | @mikermcneil | Makes Sails more composable, and removes most of its dependencies in core. Also allows for easier sharing of responsibility w/ the community, controls issue flow |
The backlog consists of features which are not currently in the immediate-term roadmap above, but are useful. We would exuberantly accept a pull request implementing any of the items below, so long as it was accompanied with reasonable tests that prove it, and it doesn't break other core functionality.
| Feature | Owner | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Watch+reload controllers, models, etc. w/o re-lifting | @jbielick | Reload controllers/models/config/services/etc. without restarting the server. Show a filler page while re-bootstrapping. |
| Support for multiple blueprint prefixes | @mnaughto | balderdashy#2031 |
| SDPY protocol support (on top of http:// and ws://) | @mikermcneil | balderdashy#80 |
| Build an alternative sockets hook which uses Primus | @alejandroiglesias | balderdashy#945 |
