loopback-next

LoopBack makes it easy to build modern applications that require complex integrations.

• Fast, small, powerful, extensible core
• Generate real APIs with a single command
• Define your data and endpoints with OpenAPI
• No maintenance of generated code

Status: ALPHA

LoopBack Next is a work in progress, the public API is frequently changed in backwards-incompatible ways. See Upcoming-Releases on wiki for more details.

  async getUserByName(username: string): Promise<UserResponse> {
    const users = new UserRepository();
    const user = await users.findOne({where: {username: username}});
    if (!user) {
      throw createHttpError.NotFound(`User ${username} not found.`);
    }
    return new UserResponse(user);
  }
