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.
- Move configuration of Karma unit-tests from `Gruntfile.js` to a
standalone file (`test/karma.conf.js`).
- Add a new Grunt task `karma:unit-ci` to run Karma unit-tests in
PhantomJS and produce karma-xunit.xml file that can be consumed
by the CI server.
- Add grunt-mocha-test, configure it to run unit-tests.
- Add `grunt test` task that runs both karma and mocha tests,
detects Jenkins to produce XML output on CI server.
- Modify the `test` script in `package.json` to run
`grunt mocha-and-karma` (an alias for `grunt test`).
The alias is required to trick `sl-ci-run` to run `npm test`
instead of calling directly `mocha`.
- Add `es5-shim` module to karma unit-tests in order to provide
ES5-methods required by LoopBack.
- Fix `mixin(source)` in lib/loopback.js to work in PhantomJS.
`Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor()` provided by `es5-shim` does not
work in the same way as in Node.
Rename `loopback.getModel` to `loopback.findModel`.
Implement `loopback.getModel` as a wrapper around `findModel` that
throws an error when the model as not found.
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`.
Change the tests creating new users so that they send valid user data,
in order to prevent 422 "validation failed" responses.
Upgrade loopback-testing to 0.2.0.
Add new API allowing developers to split the model definition and

In order to preserve backwards compatibility with loopback 1.x,
`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'
}
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`.
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
Relax the assertions to verify only the integer part of the distances.
The decimal part is subject to small variances depending on the exact
implementation of floating-point arithmetic.
For example, the distance calculated on Node v0.11.13 is different
than the distance calculated on Node v0.10.x.
- Move DataModel remoting setup into setup phase
- Add a remoting type converter for DataModels
- Move model tests into re-usable test utilities
- Move other test utilities into new test utilities folder
