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). |

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');
var app = loopback();
boot(app, __dirname);
