Load configuration of components from `component-config`
and configure all components as specified.
Sample JSON:
{
"loopback-component-foobar": {
"option1": "value1",
"option2": "value2"
}
}
The component is expected to export the following function:
module.exports = function(app, options) { /* ... */ };
Sample JSON:
{
"routes:before": {
"morgan": {
"params": ["dev"]
}
},
"routes": {
"loopback/server/middleware/rest": {
}
},
"subapps": {
"./adminer": {
},
}
}
The JSON file can be customized using the usual conventions:
- middleware.local.{js|json}
- middleware.{env}.{js|json}
It is also possible to mount the same middleware in the same phase
multiple times with different configuration.
Example config:
{
"auth": {
"oauth2": [
{
"params": "first"
},
{
"params": "second"
}
]
},
});
The new loopback project layout adds a concept of components like
'rest server' and 'isomorphic client', each component having its own set
of boot files. The name `app.json` is confusing, since it is configuring
a component, not the app (which is the whole project).
Modify loading of `appConfig` and `dataSourceConfig` to look for
the following files:
- app.json
- app.local.{js|json}
- app.{$env}.{js|json}
- datasources.json
- datasources.local.{js|json}
- datasources.{$env}.{js|json}
where $env is the value of `app.get('env')`, which usually defaults
to `process.env.NODE_ENV`.
The values in the additional files are applied to the config object,
overwritting any existing values. The new values must be value types
like String or Number; Object and Array are not supported.
Additional datasource config files cannot define new datasources,
only modify existing ones.
The commit includes refactoring of the config-loading code into
a standalone file.
