LoopBack provides two powerful tools for creating and working with applications:
- The command-line tool slc loopback.
- StrongLoop Arc, a graphical tool.
The slc loopback command-line tool
Use the slc loopback
command to create and scaffold applications. Scaffolding simply means generating the basic code for your application. You can then extend and modify the code as desired for your specific needs.
The slc loopback
command provides an Application generator to create a new LoopBack application and a number of sub-generators to scaffold an application:
- ACL generator
- Application generator
- Data source generator
- Example generator
- Model generator
- Property generator
- Relation generator
- Swagger generator
StrongLoop Arc
StrongLoop Arc is a graphical tool for building, deploying, and monitoring LoopBack applications.
