What composition of your organs become you and when do does the composition cease to be you?Īs of today, if you came here looking for 'LoopBack 4 tutorial', you most probably meant 'LoopBack 4 REST framework tutorial'.Īlthough, LoopBack is not a REST framework, it provides all the libraries that can be put together to create a REST framework. LoopBack 4 is a lot like you, with your organs being the libraries.

These libraries can have new major, minor, and patch versions, but there's never gonna be LoopBack 4.2.1 etc. LoopBack 4 is a set of libraries from the organization on NPM that you assemble together to create apps and frameworks. While the lb4 CLI is a great tool, it gives the wrong impression that it is LoopBack 4 and that it is a REST framework. The closest LoopBack 4 comes to being a tangible entity is the loopback-next monorepo, and maybe the lb4 CLI. There is no LoopBack 4 on NPM, like how there is LoopBack 3 ( loopback), and there is nothing that can be downloaded that would constitute as LoopBack 4.

LoopBack 4 as an entity does not exist.

There are two things you must know right at the beginning.

Here's my take on the LoopBack 4 tutorial.

On my website I am free from such guidelines, which allow me to write write tutorials the way I think they should be structured and written. However, official documentation follow certain guidelines and generally don't allow for such an approach. In my opinion, a semi-informal presentation is the best format for teaching. This post is the first among many that I will be writing on LoopBack. While we are actively addressing it and have made documentation improvement as one of our highest priorities this year, I am taking up 'better learning materials for LoopBack' as a personal goal and plan to completely change the perception of LoopBack. If you know JavaScript already, it can be leaned in a day.Īs one of the core developers of LoopBack, a very frequent complaint I hear is about our 'not-so-great' documentation. If you are totally new to TypeScript, I suggest you learn it and come back.

A basic level knowledge of TypeScript is a minimal requirement for using LoopBack 4.
