{"library":"loopback-connector-rest","type":"library","category":null,"description":"The LoopBack REST Connector (v6.0.7) enables LoopBack applications to interact with third-party REST APIs using a template-driven approach. It supports both resource operations and custom methods defined via templates. Current stable version is 6.0.7, supporting Node.js >=20. Key differentiators include integration with LoopBack 4's service and controller layers, template-based API mapping, and response path extraction. Compared to generic HTTP clients, it provides declarative datasource configuration and automatic CRUD mapping for REST endpoints.","language":"javascript","status":"active","version":"6.0.7","tags":["javascript","LoopBack","REST","DataSource","Connector"],"last_verified":"Sun Jun 07","install":[{"cmd":"npm install loopback-connector-rest","imports":["import { RestConnector } from 'loopback-connector-rest';","import { RestServiceMixin } from 'loopback-connector-rest';","import * as connector from 'loopback-connector-rest'; const restConnector = connector.default;","import { DataSource } from 'loopback-datasource-juggler';\nconst ds = new DataSource('rest', connector);"]},{"cmd":"yarn add loopback-connector-rest","imports":[]},{"cmd":"pnpm add loopback-connector-rest","imports":[]}],"homepage":"https://github.com/loopbackio/loopback-connector-rest#readme","github":"https://github.com/loopbackio/loopback-connector-rest","docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":"loopback-connector-rest","openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":null}
