Browse and test your LoopBack app's APIs.

Basic Usage

Below is a simple LoopBack application. The explorer is mounted at /explorer.

var loopback = require('loopback');
var app = loopback();
var explorer = require('../');
var port = 3000;

var Product = loopback.Model.extend('product');
Product.attachTo(loopback.memory());
app.model(Product);

app.use('/explorer', explorer(app, {} /* options */));
app.use(loopback.rest());
console.log("Explorer mounted at localhost:" + port + "/explorer");

app.listen(port);

Options

Options are passed to explorer(app, options).

basePath: String

Set the base path for swagger resources. Default: app.get('restAPIRoot') or /swagger/resources.

swaggerDistRoot: String

Set a path within your application for overriding Swagger UI files.

If present, will search swaggerDistRoot first when attempting to load Swagger UI, allowing you to pick and choose overrides.

See index.html, where you may want to begin your overrides. The rest of the UI is provided by Swagger UI.
