# loopback-packageloader

Load loopback models and configs from different directories.

* `packages/*/loopback`

* `node_modules/*` if the package.json contains `loopback4angularModule:true`

## Install

```

npm install psi-4ward/loopback-packageloader

```

## Usage 

Edit your server.js like this

```javascript

var loopback = require('loopback');

var boot = require('loopback-boot');

var packageloader = require('loopback-packageloader');

var app = module.exports = loopback();

// generate a boot config that supports packages

var bootCfg = packageloader();

// Bootstrap the application, configure models, datasources and middleware.

// Sub-apps like REST API are mounted via boot scripts.

boot(app, bootCfg);

// start the web server

app.listen(function() {

  app.emit('started');

  console.log('Web server listening at: %s', app.get('url'));

});

```

## Configuration

You can pass a config object as first param to `packageloader(objConfig)`

```javascript

var objConfig = {

  localPackages: [

    'packages/*/loopback',

    'server' // also support the "old" server directory

  ],

  foreignPackages: [

    // must include loopback4angularModule:true key in package.json

    'node_modules/*'

  ],

  loadCommonModels: true,    // load User, ACL, Roles etc models  

  appRootDir: __dirname,

  appConfigRootDir: '.',     // heres config.json

  env: 'development'         // is overwritten with process.env.NODE_ENV

};

```
