This issue is for new folks to chime in and say hello and that they'd like to be involved offline (off GitHub) discussions. I'm not expecting the working group on this project to be so large that we can't all get to know each other.

Just comment here that you'd like to be added to the LoopBack.next contributors list and I'll create a group in the StrongLoop org with all of you - so we can do things like @strongloop/loopback-next for scheduling external meetings and such.

When we invite you to join our org and you don't receive an email notification for GitHub, then you can accept the invite here: https://github.com/strongloop

Check out issues labelled as good first issue for tasks suitable for new contributors.

Hi all! First of all, thanks for your interests and support in LoopBack 4!

We have been thinking about how to grow our contributor community together with the user community. There are several ways to contribute:

  • Provide your feedback
    We'd love to hear your feedback! Feel free to comment on the GitHub issues that interest you or open an issue in this repo
  • Contributing code
    Please see below for details. For step-by-step instructions in submitting a PR, refer to https://loopback.io/doc/en/lb4/submitting_a_pr.html.
  • Contributing docs
    From the feedback we got, there's a need to improve our docs. This PR outlines some of the enhancements we'd like to make: #2925

Contributing code

Contribute what you need

We hope you are contributing to something that you need or will be using. We'd encourage you to take a backlog and see if any of our GitHub issues capture your requirement. If you're planning to implement a more complex feature, it would be helpful to submit a draft PR with minimal implementation to discuss your approach first. It would also be helpful to include your use case so that we can understand your requirements better. This is to make sure the intended implementation would align with our architecture and direction.

Contribute anything

If you don't have a particular area you want to contribute, you can look up the help wanted: https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next/labels/help%20wanted

New Contributors?

If you're new to contributing to LoopBack or open source projects in general, don't worry. You can look at issues with good first issue. Those issues are meant for new contributors:

Good morning, fine folks of @strongloop/loopback-next ! As the design of LoopBack4 is stabilizing and we are getting closer to have a Walking Skeleton/MVP that will make it easier to contribute small incremental improvements, we are looking for tasks that are suitable for your first code contributions. We are using "good first issue" label in our issue tracker and there are already few such issues available for picking up, see

https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22

If you decide to start working on one of those issues, then please leave a comment to let other potential contributors know.

commented

@hmtai6 and @tallboy , thanks for your interest! Invitations sent.

commented

Hi @ritch

I'd love to contribute to Loopback 4 thanks

commented

Hi, I was recommended Loopback in 2013, but I didn't get around to using it for many years. Now we're starting a new project at work, so I thought I would try out Loopback 4.

Unfortunately the boss wants a working demo by the end of the week, and I'm still stuck on authentication. Oops! (Edit: We made it, with a bit of duct tape!)

It does look pretty powerful though. TypeScript has already strong-armed me into the corner a few times. I keep getting Java flashbacks. Oh well, whatever doesn't kill you...

commented

@joeytwiddle version 4 is a work in progress . it would be suitable for production in 2019.you should start with v 3. as it is the mature and stable one 😄

commented

Hi Everyone. I recently pushed my first contribution and I'm looking forward to contribute more in a more organized fashion :)

commented

@bajtos, that links gives me a red alert:

Sorry, we couldn't find that repository invitation. It is possible that the invitation was revoked or that you are not logged into the invited account.

Edit: skanygin's workaround below worked.

commented

@ritch, @bajtos I would really love to help. I have been using loopback 3 over a year already and testing a bit of 4, it's all pretty awesome. I think I can contribute a lot, and will also like to help writing the new documentation and examples!

commented

@bajtos same error as @joeytwiddle mentioned.

commented

@joeytwiddle @bajtos

Upd.: I was able to accept the invitation on github.com/strongloop.

commented

@collaorodrigo7 invite sent.

@joeytwiddle @skanygin sorry for the confusion! I am glad you found the right URL where to accept the invite.

commented

Hi,
I'd love to contribute to Loopback 4

commented

Hi @bajtos I would like to contribute. Currently we are moving a loopback3 backend to loopback4 and making some training materials to our in-house developers on loopback4.

commented

@marioestradarosa Invitation sent.

I am excited to hear that people have already started migrating to LB 4.x. I would love to hear your feedback - which part of LoopBack 4 worked well for you, what are the rough areas that we need to improve, what features are you missing most. If you could write it as a blog post (e.g. on your company or personal blog, or perhaps on https://medium.com?), then we can boost your reach by sharing your post to our followers on social media.

commented

Hi @bajtos , I admire all the work done so far on any LoopBack versions. Our electronic banking platform supports browser and mobile app banking software on the front-end. In the Backend, we talk to Finastra core banking SOAP Web Services, Db2 database and MongoDB for our internal chat app. All these communications are handled by loopback3 already.

We created our own microservice for authentication and token management. Our developers just received a training on typescript a couple of months ago, we are coming from Java world and now we are excited that we can use loopback4 with typescript in our solution.

Missing? . I will keep you posted :-).

One thing for now, is that we centralized in a library our models (using interfaces) that we use in our angular applications, those models are transformed in order to be used by the @model decorator so we keep the same centralized concept and useful for both angular and LoopBack4. The feature of transforming those interfaces used by Angular already and transformed to model definitions would be great! as some tables are very simple. something as follows, as those tables are just required to feed some combo boxes on client apps, but also are required in CRUD operations in a BackOffice application.

As a note, instead of DummyInterface we might have a 50 columns one, but we are still just requiring to pass in, just the ID, the real table name and if the ID is required or not, so the object parameter will always be simple:

@model(DummyInterface,{table:'DUMMY', id:'BBLID', required:false'})

The DummyInterface is more or less as follows:

export interface DummyInterface {
    BBLID: number;
    NAME: string;
    ... N number of columns
}

This DummyInterface is placed in a module library and is installed using npm along with other interfaces and ready to use by mobile, angular 6 and LoopBack4 applications.

In the mean time, I will work on this weekend on introductory training material that we used internally so we can evangelize consultants/developers to move forward with the adoption.

commented

@marioestradarosa thank you for an example showing how you would like to use LoopBack 4. Please open a new issue to discuss your use case, so that we don't spam everybody watching this issue.
