- Complex Model Relationships:
- LoopBack supports various types of relationships between models, including one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many. This allows you to build complex data structures and query them efficiently.
- Remote Methods:
- You can extend your models with custom remote methods. These are custom methods that you can define on your models and expose them through the REST API. This is useful for implementing complex business logic that doesn’t fit into the standard CRUD operations.
- Hooks and Middleware:
- LoopBack provides hooks that let you run custom logic before or after certain operations. For example, you can use hooks to validate data before saving it or to perform additional processing after a model is retrieved.
- API Documentation:
- LoopBack includes tools for generating API documentation. It integrates with tools like Swagger (OpenAPI) to automatically generate interactive API documentation based on your models and endpoints.
- Model Validation:
- You can define validation rules for your models to ensure data integrity. LoopBack allows you to specify validation constraints at the model level, such as required fields, data types, and custom validation functions.
- ACL (Access Control Lists):
- LoopBack’s ACL system allows you to define fine-grained permissions for different user roles. You can control access to models and methods, ensuring that only authorized users can perform certain actions.
- Data Export and Import:
- The framework supports data export and import features, allowing you to backup and migrate your data efficiently.
- Dynamic Data Sources:
- You can configure dynamic data sources at runtime, enabling your application to connect to different databases or services based on configuration or environment.
