SailsJS. Custom /api URL for JSON

Currently, I am using localhost:1337/users to render a view with a table to show users's data.

How can I get a custom URL for example localhost:1337/api/users to output JSON data.

SailsJS does blueprint automatically but after showing the view thru the controller, the JSON output gets overridden.

You can use Blueprint target syntax. You need to add in config/routes.js

'GET /api/users': {model:'users', blueprint: 'find'}

or something similar.

If you want to return JSON from controller you should create second controller method calling same model method.

UserController.js

getUsersJson: function(req, res){
    Users.get(params,function(errors,results){
        res.json(results);
    });
}

config/routes.js

'GET /api/users': 'UserController.getUsersJson'
