Fix executor to always emit the "booted" event and call the callback
in the next tick of the event loop, regardless of whether there are any
async boot scripts.
Before this change, adding a listener for "booted" event was cumbersome:
boot(app);
if (app.booting)
app.on('booted', handler);
else
handler();
With the fix in place, one can simply write the following:
boot(app);
app.on('booted', handler);

LoopBack Boot
A convention-based bootstrapper for LoopBack applications.
For full documentation, see the official StrongLoop documentation: Defining boot scripts and Creating a LoopBack application.
Overview
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.
Version notes
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.
Installation
npm install loopback-boot
Usage
var loopback = require('loopback');
var boot = require('loopback-boot');
