StrongLoop provides a number of example applications that illustrate various key LoopBack features. In some cases, they have accompanying step-by-step instructions (tutorials). The applications fall into several categories:

• Getting started
• Tutorial series
• Topic-specific examples
• FAQ examples
• Community examples
• Deprecated examples

##Getting started

Start here!

Read Getting started with LoopBack to create loopback-getting-started.

"Getting started (intermediate)" is a work in progress: loopback-getting-started-intermediate.

##Tutorial series

Each repository contains a complete application, along with step-by-step instructions to recreate it in the README.

Complete these in the order listed below. When a step contains multiple repositories, you need only follow one of them before going to the next step; you don't have to finish all of them. For example, follow loopback-example-mysql in step one, then go to step two.

###Step one - the basics

Teaches the basics on models, connectors, datasources, automigration and discovery.

• loopback-example-mongodb
• loopback-example-mssql
• loopback-example-mysql
• loopback-example-postgresql
• loopback-example-oracle

###Step two - relations and filters

Teaches the basics on model relations and basic filtering via REST.

• loopback-example-model-relations

###Step three - adding application logic

Teaches the basics on remote methods, remote hooks, model hooks, boot scripts and middleware.

• loopback-example-app-logic

###Step four - access control

• loopback-example-access-control
