https://github.com/carlosmtx/sails-goose 1. npm install sails-goose 2. Create a file named "goose.js" in the config folder with this content : module.exports.goose = { myDb : { globals : true , host : "localhost", port : 27017, db : "test", options : { // db : "", // server : "", // replset : "", // user : "", // pass : "", // auth : "", } } } 3. Create the folder "goose-schemas" in the api folder 4. Add all your schemas in the goose-schema folder using the following structure : //File User.js module.exports = { name : String, email : String, birthday : Date, about : String, interest : require("Interest.js"), }; 5. Add " require('sails-goose')("myDb"); " to "app.js" 6. If you have set globals to true you can use mongoose models like this: User.find({name : 'teste' }); Alternatively you can use : goose.User 7. For a list of all the schema 'options' check : http://mongoosejs.com/docs/connections.html#options
