![]() ![]() Now that the basics of your security framework are in place, you can use Loopback’s APIs to create the superuser account. Also note that I’m already using ACLs to deny general access to unauthenticated users (a built-in immutable loopback role) and grant full access to John Wick, my superuser who can kill five angry customers in a bar with a pencil. Your corresponding /common/models/users.json file should resemble the following snippet and only list out properties that are *not* baked into the native loopback User model. You should actually hide this from the API and instead extend its properties into your own custom table as illustrated by the following screenshot: You may have noted that Loopback has its own User table definition. Loopback has $unauthenticated, $authenticated, and $everyone as built-in, immutable roles. In the generated Role table, we’re going to add two roles - a “superuser” who is the ultimate supreme being (think Keanu Reeves as John Wick), and a “storeadmin” who manages a specific store or stores in our SaaS system. 'Application','User', 'AccessToken', 'ACL', 'RoleMapping', 'Role'Ĭonsole.log('Loopback tables created in ', ds.adapter.name) You simply need to have the framework automagically add its tables to your database by placing the following script in your project’s /server/ folder and running it. Loopback natively supports roles-based security out of the box. In this case, I’ve created a custom datasource named “ecommerce”: Connection data is stored in your project’s server/datasources.json file. Loopback has connectors for most commonly used databases. Creating Tables to Support Roles-Based Security A superuser should be able to see everything. For example, an administrator for Store ID #2 should only be able to see Orders and Users that were added store ID #2. We need to create CRUD services for each of these tables, secure them with roles-based security and also support multi-tenancy. Contains a foreign key to the Users table and a foreign key to the Stores table. Users – including username, password, email, and a foreign key store_id that maps back to a record in the Stores table.Stores – a registry containing the stores that are being hosted.Let’s say, for example, that you have an e-commerce website that you plan to offer as Software as a Service. I assume that you already have a very basic understanding of the Loopback framework and that you are also a movie nerd. Hopefully you’ll find that this post helps bridge that gap. While there’s a lot of information that’s presented, it doesn’t really flow to tell the complete story of how you would solve real-world problems and how all of the pieces really fit together. In my experience, their proclamations about RAD API development generally holds true, however, their documentation and, in particular, their tutorials, really need a lot of work in terms of organization. Strongloop Loopback ( ) is a Node.js framework that extends Express.js and makes it easy for developers to create REST-based CRUD APIs in minutes. ![]()
