Trying to mount an Express app in Sails.js

api\hooks\queue\index.js

'use strict';

var kue = require('kue');
var util = require('sails-util');

var ConfigurationError = function(message) {
  this.name = 'ConfigurationError';

        redis: {
          port: 6379,
          host: '127.0.0.1',
          options: {}
        }
      }
    },

    configuration: function(cb) {
      if (!sails.config.queue) {
        throw new ConfigurationError('No Kue configuration found!');
      }

      if (!util.isObject(sails.config.queue)) {
        throw new ConfigurationError([
          'Invalid custom queue settings!',
          '',
          'Basic usage:',
          '{ prefix: \'your prefix\' }'

        throw new ConfigurationError([

          '`prefix` option must be a string.'

      cb();
    },

    initialize: function(cb) {
      sails.queue = kue.createQueue({
        redis: sails.config.queue.redis
      });
      
      // I've tried a few things here, but can't seem to get this to work.
      // I'm sure this is the incorrect event to be listening on, too.
      // Ideally, what I want is to mount this app via the router so I can
      // apply policies, etc. to it.
      sails.on('ready', function() {
        sails.hooks.http.app.use(kue.app);
      });

config\express.js

var passport = require('passport');

 * Configure advanced options for the Express server inside of Sails.

module.exports.express = {
  middleware: {
    custom: true
  },

  customMiddleware: function(app) {
    app.use(passport.initialize());
    app.use(passport.session());

    // TODO: This should be worked into the Kue hook and password protected.
    // Ideally, we'd mount this with Sails' router so that we can apply policies
    // to it, obviating the need for something like simple auth.
    app.use('/admin/queue', require('kue').app);
  }
};

Did you manage to get kue mounted on sails? how?

I would like to know too

Me too
