Hot Code Push with Loopback

[kartik rokde]

HI,

I am really impressed by the architecture of the loopback and wanna use the same in one of my project. My requirements suits almost 100% to the services that are offered by Strongloop. I am eager to create BaaS with loopback with one basic requirement of adding api dynamically without need to restart the sl/node server. I was googling up for the same but am unable to get any heads up on the same. Do we have any provision in loopback for dynamically adding api, custom codes on events as provided by deployd.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Kartikeya Rokde.

Hi Kartikeya,

LoopBack does not support adding new models dynamically at the moment, but it's something that can be added.

Could you please open a GitHub issue requesting this feature?

Best regards,

Are you referring to the ability to change code in a deployd event script while the server is running? As well as add / remove resources / collections / etc?

When we designed deployd we baked this feature in from the very beginning. The way deployd adds this feature is by implementing its own module loading. This module loader is capable of swapping code while the server is running. It's not something we can really add on to Loopback 1.X. Its really not something we are looking to add to LoopBack at the moment, but if enough people are asking for it I think we could look into it. So if anyone else is looking for this feature please speak up.

StrongLoop makes it easy to develop APIs in Node, plus get DevOps capabilities like monitoring, debugging and clustering.

Feature like this with dashboard like deployd would really take loopback to the next level. I vote up for this feature.
