grunt-loopback-auto

Grunt plugin for automigrate and autoupdate data sources for LoopBack

Important

Require Loopback v2.x

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt.

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-loopback-auto --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-loopback-auto');

The "loopback_auto" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named loopback_auto to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

Default Options

{
  dataSource: 'db', // data source name
  app: './server/server', // path to the application
  config: './server/model-config', // path to the model-config file
  exclude: [], // exclude models ['Custom', 'Other']
  method: 'autoupdate' // or automigrate
}

Example

module.exports = function(grunt) {
  grunt.initConfig({
    'loopback_auto': {
      'db_autoupdate': {
        options: {
          dataSource: 'db',
          app: './server/server',
          config: './server/model-config',
          method: 'autoupdate'
        }
      },
      'db_automigrate': {
        options: {
          dataSource: 'db',
          app: './server/server',
          config: './server/model-config',
          method: 'automigrate'
        }
      }
    }
  });
  // Load the plugin
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-loopback-auto');
