Our team is currently utilizing Loopback for our REST APIs and we are interested in incorporating some standard Node Express-like calls that won't be automatically routed through the Loopback framework. How can we add a new route without interfering with the existing Loopback routing? Below is the typical startup code used with Loopback:
var loopback = require('loopback');
var boot = require('loopback-boot');
var app = module.exports = loopback();
// Bootstrap the application, configure models, datasources and middleware.
// Sub-apps like REST API are mounted via boot scripts.
boot(app, __dirname);
app.start = function() {
// start the web server
return app.listen(function() {
app.emit('started');
console.log('Web server listening at: %s', app.get('url'));
});
};
// start the server if `$ node server.js`
if (require.main === module) {
app.start();
}
