Synopsis
The LoopBack boot script generator adds a new boot script to a LoopBack application.
lb boot-script [options] [<name>]
With IBM API Connect v5 developer toolkit:
apic loopback:boot-script [options] [<name>]
With legacy StrongLoop tools:
slc loopback:boot-script [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
You can optionally provide the name of the boot script as an argument. If you do, then the tool won’t prompt you for the name.
Interactive Prompts
The tool will prompt you for:
- The name of the boot script, if you didn’t provide it on the command-line.
- Whether you want to created an asynchronous or synchronous boot script.
Output
The tool will create a JavaScript file with the specified name in the application’s server/boot directory.
The code will look like this, depending on your response to the prompt:
Asynchronous script:
module.exports = function(app, cb) {
process.nextTick(cb);
};
Synchronous script:
module.exports = function(app) {};
