Expose the juggler's DataSource constructor as `loopback.DataSource`.
The DataSource constructor is most useful to check
for `instanceof DataSource`, but it also makes the loopback API more
consistent, since the API is already exposing all pre-built Models.
Fix the problem where `registry.defaultDataSources` has two instances:
- `require('loopback').defaultDataSources` used by
`loopback.autoAttach()`
- `require('./registry').defaultDataSources` used by
`app.dataSource`.
I am intentionally leaving out unit-tests as the whole `autoAttach`
feature is going to be deleted before 2.0 is released.
Move isBrowser and isServer from lib/loopback to a new file lib/runtime.
Move all Model and DataSource related methods like `createModel` and
`createDataSource` to lib/registry.
Remove the circular dependency between lib/application and lib/loopback,
by loading lib/registry and/or lib/runtime instead of lib/loopback
where appropriate
This commit is only moving the code around, the functionality should
not be changed at all.
Use
@property {Object} [properties]
instead of
@property {Object=} properties
for optional properties.
Use `**example**` instead of `@example`, since strong-docs don't support
the latter.
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 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.
