What is Sails?
The Gear Protocol operates on an asynchronous version of the Request-Response Pattern, where on-chain applications handle messages from other on-chain or off-chain applications, treating both as external consumers of their services. Building on this foundation, Sails offers a streamlined approach to developing dApps on Vara Network by fully leveraging the actor model of Gear Protocol. It removes the need to write low-level boilerplate code, allowing developers to focus on solving business problems. Additionally, Sails automatically generates a corresponding IDL (Interface Definition Language) file for your application. This IDL file, which describes data types, services, constructors, and events in a language-independent way, can be used to auto-generate client code in TypeScript using sails-js. This process simplifies and enhances interaction with your application, eliminating the need to write client code from scratch.
