R3LM

A starter boilerplate for a universal webapp using React, Redux, Router, LoopBack and MongoDB.

Instructions

1. Create a MongoDB data source connector to the MongoDB:

lb datasource mongoDS --connector mongoDB

2. Follow the next step as an example to the data source and data base configuration.

Example

? Enter the datasource name: mongoDS
? Select the connector for mongoDS: MongoDB (supported by StrongLoop)
? Connection String url to override other settings (eg: mongodb://username:password@hostname:port/database):
? host: localhost
? port: 27017
? user:
? password:
? database: rrrlm

1. Cleate a LoopBack new model:

lb model

2. Give the new model a name:

? Enter the model name: rrrlm_model
? Select the datasource to attach rrrlm_model to: db (mongodb)
? Select model's base class PersistedModel
? Expose rrrlm_model via the REST API? Yes
? Custom plural form (used to build REST URL):
? Common model or server only? common
Let's add some rrrlm_model properties now.

3. Create several properties:

Enter an empty property name when done.
? Property name: property_a
   invoke   loopback:property
? Property type: string
? Required? Yes
? Default value[leave blank for none]:

Let's add another rrrlm_model property.
Enter an empty property name when done.
? Property name: property_b
   invoke   loopback:property
? Property type: string
? Required? Yes
? Default value[leave blank for none]:

Let's add another rrrlm_model property.
Enter an empty property name when done.
? Property name: property_c
   invoke   loopback:property
? Property type: string
? Required? No
? Default value[leave blank for none]:

Let's add another rrrlm_model property.
Enter an empty property name when done.
? Property name:

Usage

1. From the root folder, install the dependencies.

npm install

2. To run the server and client

npm start

App

http://localhost:3000

Loopback Explorer:

http://localhost:3000/explorer

Mongo Shell

1. Start MongoDB Shell by the following command:

mongo

2. Next you have several useful mongo commands:

> show dbs
admin   0.000GB
config  0.000GB
local   0.000GB
rrrlm  0.000GB
> use rrrlm
switched to db rrrlm
> show collections
rrrlm
> db.rrrlm.find()
