@vsaas/loopback-connector-remote

@vsaas/loopback-connector-remote is a maintained fork of loopback-connector-remote for the Xompass LoopBack 3 stack.

The goal of this fork is practical compatibility with existing LoopBack 3 applications while simplifying the package and aligning it with the rest of the modernized @vsaas/* ecosystem.

What Changed In This Fork

• Runtime migrated to TypeScript-backed sources and built to dist/
• Tooling aligned with the other forks:
  • tsdown
  • vitest
  • oxlint
  • oxfmt
• Legacy test/build infrastructure removed:
  • grunt
  • mocha
  • old ESLint/JSHint config
• Avoidable development dependencies removed
• Package metadata and exports aligned with the scoped @vsaas/* packages

This package is intended for the Xompass-maintained LoopBack 3 forks. It is not targeted at LoopBack 4.

Installation

npm install @vsaas/loopback-connector-remote

In practice this connector is usually installed alongside:

• @vsaas/loopback
• @vsaas/loopback-datasource-juggler
• @vsaas/remoting

Usage

Configure a datasource with the remote connector:

{
  "myRemoteDataSource": {
    "name": "myRemoteDataSource",
    "connector": "remote",
    "url": "http://localhost:3000/api"
  }
}

Or in code:

const loopback = require('@vsaas/loopback');

const app = loopback();

const ds = app.dataSource('remote', {
  connector: require('@vsaas/loopback-connector-remote'),
  url: 'http://localhost:3000/api',
});

After attaching a compatible remote model, the connector proxies the remote methods through LoopBack models and preserves promise-based usage:

const result = await app.dataSources.remote.models.MyModel.findById(1);

Public Exports

• @vsaas/loopback-connector-remote
• @vsaas/loopback-connector-remote/relations

Development

npm run typecheck
npm run lint
npm test

Notes

• This fork keeps compatibility with common LoopBack 3 remote-model behavior.
• Error messages and maintenance decisions in the Xompass forks are kept in English only.
• If you are using this package outside the Xompass forked stack, verify the exact versions of @vsaas/loopback, @vsaas/loopback-datasource-juggler and @vsaas/remoting you want to pair with it.
