Arguments
Provide the application name as an optional argument (or, with API Connect, as value of --name option). 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:
