Loopback JS

LoopBack is a framework for creating APIs and connecting them with backend data sources. Built on top of Express, it can take a data model definition and easily generate a fully functional end-to-end REST API that can be called by any client.

• Should I use LoopBack?

If your application can be broken down into model like entities, then you should go with loopback in my opinion. It saves development time, and comes with a lot of functionality built in. I personally like their documentation. For general use cases, its enough.

Ready to build with LoopBack?

1. Have you installed Node. js?
2. Install LoopBack 4 CLI. The LoopBack 4 CLI is a command-line interface that can scaffold a project or extension.
3. Starting the project. The project comes with a "ping" route to test the project.
4. Test your application. Start the application using npm start .

To install the LoopBack command-line interface (CLI) tool, enter the command:

1. npm install -g loopback-cli.
2. $ npm install -g apiconnect.
