LoopBack Storage Component

NOTE: The loopback-component-storage module supersedes loopback-storage-service. Please update your package.json accordingly.

LoopBack storage component provides Node.js and REST APIs to manage binary contents using pluggable storage providers, such as local file systems, Amazon S3, or Rackspace cloud files. We use pkgcloud to support the cloud based storage services including:

• Amazon
• Rackspace
• Openstack
• Azure

Please see the Storage Service Documentaion.

For more details on the architecture of the module, please see the introduction section of the blog post written up its launch.

Now you can use Container's name with slash! If you want to create a directory, like this/isMy/newContainer, you have to use the char %2F instead of /, so your Container's name going to be this%2FisMy%2FnewContainer.
