A mixin to declaratively disable related models endpoints

Loopback disable relations mixin

What does this do?

It provides a way to disable out of the box related models edpoints that loopback shows by default in the same fashion as hiding models on model-config.json.

How does this work?

First you must install this package through npm

$ npm install loopback-disable-relations-mixin --save

Then you have to configure the file model-config.json to load the mixin.

"mixins": [
  ...
  "../node_modules/loopback-disable-relations-mixin",
  ...]

And finally you can configure your model so it hides the endopints.

{
  "name": "ApplicationUser",
  "base": "User",
  "mixins": {
    "DisableRelations" : {
      "accessTokens" : {
        "*": false
      }
    }
  },
}

If you want some of them to show:

{
  "name": "ApplicationUser",
  "base": "User",
  "mixins": {
    "DisableRelations" : {
      "accessTokens" : {
        "*": false,
        "__get__": true
      }
    }
  },
}

The available endpoint names available out of the box for showing or hiding are:

"__get__",
"__create__",
"__update__",
"__destroy__",
"__unlink__",
"__count__",
"__delete__",
"__findById__",
"__destroyById__",
"__updateById__"
