Add API allowing applications to hide a Model from the
REST API and remove all references to it, allowing Garbage Collector
to claim all memory used by the model.
Notable side-effects:
- loopback no longer exports "caller" and "arguments" properties
- kv-memory connector is now properly added to the connector registry
- the file "test/support.js" was finally removed
- Removes backward compatibility
for legacy end points `/models` & `/routes`
- Removes `legacyExplorer` flag which
enabled these routes
- Update related tests & tests using the
legacyExplorer flag
Rework tests in `test/rest.middleware.test.js` to not depend
on `app.autoAttach()` and global shared registry of Models. Instead,
each tests creates a fresh app instance with a new in-memory datasource
and a new set of Models.
Setting legacyExplorer to false in the loopback config will disable
the routes /routes and /models made available in loopback.rest.
The deprecate module has been added to the project with a reference
added for the legacyExplorer option as it is no longer required by
loopback-explorer. Tests added to validate functionality of disabled
and enabled legacy explorer routes.
Enhance the error objects with a `code` property containing
a machine-readable string code describing the error, for example
INVALID_TOKEN or USER_NOT_FOUND.
Also improve 404 error messages to include the model name.
Modify `loopback.rest()` to read the configuration for
`loopback.context` from `app.get('remoting')`, which is the approach
used for all other configuration options related to the REST transport.
- Implement the middleware `loopback.context`
- Inject context into juggler and strong-remoting
- Make http context optional and default to false
- Optionally mount context middleware from `loopback.rest`
Make `loopback.rest` self-contained, so that authentication works
out of the box.
var app = loopback();
app.enableAuth();
app.use(loopback.rest());
Note that cookie parsing middleware is not added, users have to
explicitly configure that if they want to store access tokens
in cookies.
Modify `loopback.token` to skip token lookup when the request already
contains `accessToken` property. This is in line with other
connect-based middleware like `cookieParser` or `json`.
