loopback-remote-routing Easily disables Remote methods

[吕锦昂]

Hi all, 

I just create a module to easily disable remote methods, https://www.npmjs.com/package/loopback-remote-routing. 

once before, if we want to disable remote methods, we have to write a bunch of statements like this:

User.disableRemoteMethod('create', true);

User.disableRemoteMethod('__get__items', false);

User.disableRemoteMethod('findById', true);

using loopback-remote-routing, what you have to do, is simply passing some options

var RemoteRouting = require('loopback-remote-routing');

//use options.only to expose specifed remote methods;

//in this case only create, findById, __get__items will be exposed

RemoteRouting(User, {only: [

    '@create',

    '@findById',

   '__get__items'

]}

//use options.except to expose all remote methods except ones specified;

// in this case, findById, create, __get__items, will be disabled

RemoteRouting(User, {except: [

    '@create',

    '@findById',

   '__get__items'

]}

it can also be used as a mixin:

Add the mixins property to your server/model-config.json like the following:

{
  "_meta": {
    "sources": [
      "loopback/common/models",
      "loopback/server/models",
      "../common/models",
      "./models"
    ],
    "mixins": [
      "loopback/common/mixins",
      "../node_modules/loopback-remote-routing",
      "../common/mixins"
    ]
  }
}

To use with your Models add the mixins attribute to the definition object of your model config.

  {
    "name": "Color",
    "properties": {
      "name": {
        "type": "string",
      }
    },
    "mixins": {
      "RemoteRouting" : {
        "only": [
          "@find"
        ]
      }
    }
  }

welcome to open issues if you have any questions

This module is useful if you are developing apis.
