Process `settings.methods` and `config.methods` as a key-value map
where the key is the method name and the value is an object describing
the method in the format expected by strong-remoting.
Example: a static method `Model.create`
"methods": {
"create": {
"isStatic": true,
"accepts": {
"arg": "data", "type": "Car",
"http": { "source": "body" }
},
"returns": { "arg": "data", "type": "Car", "root": true }
}
}
This patch is based on the code proposed by @mrfelton in #1163.
This patch fixes the method Model.getApp() that started to report
the following error after b61fae5 was landed:
assert.js:88
throw new assert.AssertionError({
^

The commit b917075 accidentally removed a couple of properties,
this commit is bringing them back:
- loopback.modelRegistry
- loopback.defaultDataSources
A unit-test was added to prevent this kind of regressions in the future.
Add end-to-end unit-tests verifying enforcement of access control during
conflict resolution.
Implement two facade methods providing REST API for Change methods used
by conflict resolution:
PersistedModel.findLastChange
GET /api/{model.pluralName}/{id}/changes/last
PersistedModel.updateLastChange
PUT /api/{model.pluralName}/{id}/changes/last
By providing these two methods on PersistedModel, replication users
don't have to expose the Change model via the REST API. What's even
more important, these two methods use the same set of ACL rules
as other (regular) PersistedModel methods.
Rework `Conflict.prototype.changes()` and `Conflict.prototype.resolve()`
to use these new facade methods.
Implement a new method `Conflict.prototype.swapParties()` that provides
better API for the situation when a conflict detected in Remote->Local
replication should be resolved locally (i.e. in the replication target).
1) Add integration tests running change replication over REST to verify
that access control at model level is correctly enforced.
2) Implement a new access type "REPLICATE" that allows principals
to create new checkpoints, even though they don't have full WRITE
access to the model. Together with the "READ" permission, these
two types allow principals to replicate (pull) changes from the server.
Note that anybody having "WRITE" access type is automatically
granted "REPLICATE" type too.
3) Add a new model option "enableRemoteReplication" that exposes
replication methods via strong remoting, but does not configure
change rectification. This option should be used the clients
when setting up Remote models attached to the server via the remoting
connector.
- `loopback.registry` is now a true global registry
- `app.registry` is unique per app object
- `Model.registry` is set when a Model is created using any registry method
- `loopback.localRegistry` and `loopback({localRegistry: true})` when set to `true` this will create a `Registry` per `Application`. It defaults to `false`.
Refactor the core implementation of current context from
server/middleware/context.js into server/current-context.js.
Expose new public API:
- loopback.runInContext
- loopback.createContext
Modify `Change.diff()` to include current data revision in each
delta reported back. The current data revision is stored in
`delta.prev`.
Modify `PersistedModel.bulkUpdate()` to check that the current data
revision matches `delta.prev` and report a conflict if a third party
has modified the database under our hands.
Fix `Change` implementation and tests so that they are no longer
attempting to create instances with duplicate ids.
(This used to work because the memory connector was silently
converting such requests to updateOrCreate/findOrCreate.)
This commit adds the ability for the developer to use a custom token generator function for the user.verify(...) method. By default, the system will still use the crypto.randomBytes() method if no option is provided.
Add tests covering typical replication scenarios that happen
in the setup where multiple clients are synchronizing changes
against a single server (database).
Rework the Change model to merge changes made within the same
Checkpoint.
Rework `replicate()` to run multiple iteration until there were no
changes replicated. This ensures that the target model is left in
a clean state with no pending changes associated with the latest
(current) checkpoint.
Extend `PersistedModel.replicate` to pass the newly created checkpoints
as the third callback argument.
The typical usage of these values is to pass them as the `since`
argument of the next `replicate()` call.
global.since = -1;
function sync(cb) {
LocalModel.replicate(
since,
RemoteModel,
function(err, conflicts, cps)
if (err) return cb(err);
if (!conflicts.length) {
since = cps;
return cb();
}
// resolve conflicts and try again
});
}
Rework the "replicate()" to create a new source checkpoint as the first
step, so that any changes made in parallel will be associated with
the next checkpoint.
Before this commit, there was a race condition where a change might
end up being associated with the already-replicated checkpoint and thus
not picked up by the next replication run.
Modify `PersistedModel.replicate` to allow consumers to provide
different "since" values to be used for the local and remote changes.
Make the "since" filters consistent and include the "since" value
in the range via `gte`. Before this commit, the local query used
`gt` and the remote query used `gte`.
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.
Fix all test models that are tracking changes so that they have
a generated unique string id.
Make model names unique where possible to prevent tests reusing
the same model which causes unintented side effects.
