Is gulp hosting the static assets or just compiling them? about angular-sailsjs-boilerplate HOT 7 CLOSED

Within frontend side gulp you can do basically following:

1. gulp serve => raises develop environment (with mini webserver)
2. gulp dist => make production ready code to dist folder
3. gulp production => raises production environment (with mini webserver)

So basically you can serve that production code with plain apache / nginx server if you like. Point is to generate 'static' version of your frontend app (html+js+css+images) that you can host where ever you like to.

Within boilerplate sails (backend side) is just an API so it's not supposed to serve any kind of static assets.

I hope this helps.

Do both servers have different ports? How do you handle the cross site
security?

I don't recommend that you use that gulp mini server as in production. Just use what ever webserver you like (apache, nginx, etc.)

But yes both gulp serve and gulp production uses different ports, 3000 and 3001.

That wasn't my point. How do you handle the cross site security of making ajax requests from port 3000 to port 1337?

Sails has it own CORS setup, by default boilerplate is allowing traffic from all the addresses. Actual API endpoints cannot be accessed without valid JWT token, which is created at the login process.

Where is the code for your CORS declaration

from angular-sailsjs-boilerplate.

That configuration can be found in backend config: https://github.com/tarlepp/angular-sailsjs-boilerplate/blob/master/backend/config/cors.js

There is only minor changes on that, comparing to what sails uses as a default. More info about that can be readed there: http://sailsjs.org/#/documentation/reference/sails.config/sails.config.cors.html
