This LoopBack application is an example to connect to third party REST APIs, GitHub API.
It shows:
- how to define template and options in REST connector datasource.
- how to traverse pages in the results in the controller
I'll be creating a series of blog posts on how to create this end-to-end, i.e. from creating APIs in LoopBack application to frontend using React. Stay tuned!
- Part 1: Creating Datasource to GitHub API
- Part 2: Creating Service Proxy
- Part 3: Pagination in GitHub API Results
