Add a new argument to `app.middleware` allowing developers
to restrict the middleware to a list of paths or regular expresions.
Modify `app.middlewareFromConfig` to pass `config.paths` as the second
arg of `app.middleware`.
Examples:
// A string path (interpreted via path-to-regexp)
app.middleware('auth', '/admin', ldapAuth);
// A regular expression
app.middleware('initial', /^\/~(admin|root)/, rejectWith404);
// A list of scopes
app.middleware('routes', ['/api', /^\/assets/.*\.json$/], foo);
// From config
app.middlewareFromConfig(
handlerFactory,
{
phase: 'initial',
paths: ['/scope', /^\/(a|b)/]
});
Refactor the implementation to use the new method `phaseList.zipMerge`.
This is commit is changing the behaviour in the case when
the first new phase does not exist in the current list.
Before the change, all new phases were added just before the "routes"
phase.
After this change, new phases are added to the head of the list,
until an existing phase is encountered, at which point the regular
merge algorithm kicks in.
Example:
app.defineMiddlewarePhases(['first', 'routes', 'subapps']);
Before the change: code throws an error - 'routes' already exists.
After the change: phases are merged with the following result:
'first', 'initial', ..., 'routes', 'subapps', ...
Implement method for registering (new) middleware phases.
- If all names are new, then the phases are added just before
the "routes" phase.
- Otherwise the provided list of names is merged with the existing
phases in such way that the order of phases is preserved.
Example
// built-in phases:
// initial, session, auth, parse, routes, files, final
app.defineMiddlewarePhases('custom');
// new list of phases
// initial, session, auth, parse,
// custom,
// routes, files, final
app.defineMiddlewarePhases([
'initial', 'postinit', 'preauth', 'routes', 'subapps'
]);
// new list of phases
// initial,
// postinit, preauth,
// session, auth, parse, custom,
// routes,
// subapps,
// files, final
Implement a function registering a middleware using a factory function
and a JSON config.
Example:
app.middlewareFromConfig(compression, {
enabled: true,
phase: 'initial',
config: {
threshold: 128
}
});
Modify the app and router implementation, so that the middleware is
executed in order defined by phases.
Predefined phases:
'initial', 'session', 'auth', 'parse', 'routes', 'files', 'final'
Methods defined via `app.use`, `app.route` and friends are executed
as the first thing in 'routes' phase.
API usage:
app.middleware('initial', compression());
app.middleware('initial:before', serveFavicon());
app.middleware('files:after', loopback.urlNotFound());
app.middleware('final:after', errorHandler());
Middleware flavours:
// regular handler
function handler(req, res, next) {
// do stuff
next();
}
// error handler
function errorHandler(err, req, res, next) {
// handle error and/or call next
next(err);
}
Allow the developer to pass custom `remoting` options via Model
settings, e.g.
PersistedModel.extend(
'MyModel',
{ name: String },
{
remoting: { normalizeHttpPath: true }
});
Also add `options` arg to `app.handler`, this object is passed directly
to strong-remoting handler.
When running on Unix and no hostname is specified, use `0.0.0.0`
as the hostname instead of `localhost`.
When running on Windows and the hostname is either not specified or
it is `0.0.0.0` or `::`, use `localhost` in the URL. The reason is
that Windows cannot open URLs using `0.0.0.0` as a hostname.
Modify `registry.configureModel()` to log a warning when `dataSource`
optiont is not specified at all.
Users should provide `dataSource: null` when the model is intentionally
not attached to any data-source.
Most applications report the URL when started (at least the apps we
are scaffolding using loopback-workspace). Constructing the URL in the
loopback core allows us to simplify the templates and reduce the amount
of repeated code.
Add new API allowing developers to split the model definition and
configuration into two steps:
1. Build models from JSON config, export them for re-use:
```js
var Customer = loopback.createModelFromConfig({
name: 'Customer',
base: 'User',
properties: {
address: 'string'
}
});
```
2. Attach existing models to a dataSource and a loopback app,
modify certain model aspects like relations:
```js
loopback.configureModel(Customer, {
dataSource: db,
relations: { /* ... */ }
});
```
Rework `app.model` to use `loopback.configureModel` under the hood.
Here is the new usage:
```js
var Customer = require('./models').Customer;
app.model(Customer, {
dataSource: 'db',
relations: { /* ... */ }
});
```
In order to preserve backwards compatibility,
`app.model(name, config)` calls both `createModelFromConfig`
and `configureModel`.

`app.model(name, config)` calls both `createModelFromConfig`
and `configureModel`.
Allow browserified applications to explicitly register connectors
to use in data-sources via `app.connector(name, exportsFromRequire)`.
Include built-in connectors like `Memory` and `Remote` in the registry.
Modify `dataSourcesFromConfig()` to resolve the connector via
`app.connectors` first and only then fall back to auto-require
the connector module.
Support flat structure of model config objects, where model options
are set as top-level properties.
Before:
Customer: {
dataSource: 'db',
options: {
base: 'User'
}
}
Now:
Customer: {
dataSource: 'db',
base: 'User'
}
creating a cache
- Use the SharedClass class to build the remote connector
- Change default base model from Model to DataModel
- Fix DataModel errors not logging correct method names
- Use the strong-remoting 1.4 resolver API to resolve dynamic remote
methods (relation api)
- Remove use of fn object for storing remoting meta data
