Loopback-next – Build modern applications that require complex integrations
- sterex 9y agoHaving used loopback version 2, moving to version 3 was relatively easy. I don't think it will be the same from 3 to 4. Introducing MVC architecture is good - I'm yet to go through the code, but I'm guessing this will be inline with how Laravel is built. But, why TypeScript? This seems like a strange decision to me.
- STRML 9y agoI've used Loopback for a while as well. IMO, TS is a welcome change, I'd be happy to write APIs in it and I'd prefer it to untyped libraries. It's hard to understate how nice it is to have your editor autocomplete functions, argument order, object shape, etc. It's a real productivity booster, gets you sanity checking out of the gate and makes the framework discoverable. This is a good decision. I can't make any cogent argument against it, aside from dependency bloat.
- krzkaczor 9y agoIf you're looking for something similar and not in alpha state go check out nest.js https://nestjs.com/ https://nestjs.com/ Its embracing MVC, supports TypeScript and DI. Really sweeet.

- stocktech 9y agoOnly concern with the loopback project is the licensing for the database connectors, at least mssql. Can anyone using this in an enterprise setting weigh in?
