Synopsis
Creates a new LoopBack application.
$ [slc | apic] loopback:app [options] [<name>]
Options
-h, --help
Print the generator’s options and usage.
--skip-cache
Do not remember prompt answers. Default is false.
--skip-install
Do not automatically install dependencies. Default is false.
Arguments
Provide the application name as an optional argument. The tool will create a directory of that name to contain the application.
Interactive Prompts
The generator will prompt you for:
- Name of the directory in which to create your application. Press Enter to create the application in the current directory.
- Name of the application, that defaults to the directory name you previously entered.
The tool creates the standard LoopBack application structure. See Project layout reference for details.
Note:
By default, a generated application exposes only the User model over REST.
To expose other built-in models, edit /server/model-config.json and change the model’s “public” property to “true”.
See model-config.json for more information.
After you create an application, you can run additional generators from the application root directory:
