sandbox

This directory can be used to add applications or modules that need to be tested against the LoopBack 4 source code (as symbolically linked dependencies). Sub directories with package.json will be picked up by lerna as a package of the loopback-next monorepo.

Usage

To add a new package for sandbox testing:

git clone git@github.com:loopbackio/loopback-next.git
cd loopback-next/sandbox

Now you can scaffold your Node.js modules or copy existing projects into the sandbox directory, for example, sandbox/example.

To link the @loopback/* dependencies for your project, run the following commands:

cd loopback-next
npm install
npm run build
cd sandbox/example
node .

Your project is now ready against the LoopBack 4 source code.
