App variables can now be specified in component-config.json using
the ${var} format. The value of var is looked up using app.get().
This allows loopback explorer and other loopback components which
require app variables, to be loaded declaratively using
component-config.json.
App variables can now be specified in middleware.json using the ${var}
format. The value of var is looked up using app.get().
This allows loopback.rest and other loopback middleware which require
app variables, to be loaded declaratively using middleware.json.
When loading middleware configured in "middleware.json", loopback-boot
used to require() the full path to middleware's module main file,
for example "node_modules/strong-express-metrics/index.js".
This is breaking strong-agent probes, as it's difficult to detect
when the intercepted module (e.g. "strong-express-metrics") was loaded.
This commit modifies the compiler to omit the tail (the path to the
module main source file) when requiring middleware.
Port can't be number checked to support iisnode. Using a parseInt()
or number isNumber function won't work if we want to support iisnode
which uses named pipes for ports (ex. \\.\pipe\mypipe)
Extend the options argument of boot/compile to allow the developer
to supply custom model definitions (to replace the result of
findModelDefinitions). Together with the existing options.models,
it allows to specify all model-related data and still use the benefits
which loopback-boot provides (most notably loading models in order
defined by inheritance, i.e. base models are loaded before models that
are extending them).
Use the global `isFinite` function to find the first valid port
number. This is the same behaviour as `_.isFinite` in lodash@2.x.
As a result, only values that are a valid number are accepted, e.g.
"0" is accepted but "0xy" is not.
- Ensure `app.booting` is initially `undefined`
- Ensure `app.booting` is set to true during boot execution
- Ensure `app.booting` is set to false upon boot completion
This prevents an occurence where an error is completely swallowed if a script
required by loopback-boot has a bad require() call. The script is never ran
but execution continues.
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) { /* ... */ };
Remove duplicated entries in the array of boot scripts to run.
Because the bootDirs defaults to process.cwd(), if the user manually
includes scripts in the same directory, without specifying a bootDir,
those scripts will be included multiple times.
Introduce a convention for specifying relative paths in middleware
params: values prefixed with `$!` and starting with `./` or `../`
are resolved relatively to `middleware.json`.
Example:
{
"files": {
"loopback#static": {
"params": "$!../client"
},
"loopback#static": {
"params": "$!./public"
}
}
}
When the middleware name (path) is in the format {module}#{filename},
loopback-boot resolves the path by trying multiple locations and
using the first one that exists:
- {module} and check the {filename} property of the exports
-> e.g. loopback.rest
- {module}/server/middleware/{filename}
-> e.g. loopback/server/middleware/rest
- {module}/middleware/{filename}
-> e.g. loopback/middleware/rest
Values in any other format will bypass this resolution algorithm and
they will be used in the original form:
- a full path in a module: loopback/server/middleware/rest
- a relative path: ./middleware/custom, ./custom, ../logger
- an absolute path: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/compression
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"
}
]
},
});
Load models for any filetypes registered in require.extensions.
- Server side coffee-script requires a `require('coffee-script/register');`
- Client side coffee-script requires Coffeeify.
Interpret model sources in the same way how `require.resolve`
interprets the path:
- values starting with `./` and `../` are relative to the file
where they are specified
- other values are relative to node modules folders
This way it's possible to specify a source `loopback/common/models`
and have it resolved to whatever place the loopback is installed.
LoopBack built-in models are special: they follow the loopback-boot
structure and provide `common/models/{name}.json` files, but they are
also automatically loaded (created) by loopback.
This change modifies `executor` to recognize built-in models and do not
redefine them.
