Loopback JSON Schema Example

Adds JSON Schema support to LoopBack.

Configuring a DataSource

Add a loopbackJsonSchemaDb entry to the datasources.json file with your data source configuration if you want to use any database. If no loopbackJsonSchemaDb entry is found, we fallback to using the default memory data source.

  "loopbackJsonSchemaDb": {
    "connector": "loopback-connector-mongodb",
    "url": "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/your-database",
    "debug": true
  }

Using

Installing

make setup
make run

Dynamically defining Loopback models from a JSON Schema

make post_schema
make create_person

# Retrieve a created Person object
curl -i -XGET -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:5000/api/people/{id}

Disclaimer

This is just a simple Loopback app using loopback-jsonschema module (there're no tests here). Do not use this app in production!
