We urge all LoopBack 3 users to migrate their applications to LoopBack 4 as soon as possible. Refer to our Migration Guide for more information on how to upgrade.
A convention-based bootstrapper for LoopBack applications.
For full documentation, see the official StrongLoop documentation: Defining boot scripts and Creating a LoopBack application.
The loopback-boot module initializes (bootstraps) a LoopBack application. Specifically, it:
- Configures data-sources.
- Defines custom models
- Configures models and attaches models to data-sources.
- Configures application settings
- Runs additional boot scripts, so you can put custom setup code in multiple small files instead of in the main application file.
For more information, see Defining boot scripts.
The version range 1.x is backwards compatible with app.boot provided
by LoopBack 1.x versions and the project layout scaffolded by slc lb project
up to slc version 2.5.
The version range 2.x supports the new project layout as scaffolded by
yo loopback.
This document describes the configuration conventions of the 2.x versions.
npm install loopback-boot
var loopback = require('loopback');
var boot = require('loopback-boot');
var app = loopback();
boot(app, __dirname);
app.use(loopback.rest());
app.listen();See API docs for complete API reference.
