164: LoopBack: The Easiest APIs You've Ever Made

Session Evaluation

LoopBack is an open-source Node.js framework that allows you to create REST API endpoints with ease. This session will cover the LoopBack connector that allows you to connect to IBM i and create API endpoints from either existing database schemas and tables. We will also look at the API generator that allows you to create REST API endpoints in the terminal, then migrate your endpoints to Db2 for i. I will also demonstrate how to secure LoopBack API endpoints with both an SSL certificate and with an authentication schema. After the session I'm sure you will agree that LoopBack is the easiest way to make API endpoints on IBM i!

Learning Objectives:
1. Learn what LoopBack is
2. Learn how to make API endpoints with LoopBack
3. Learn how to secure LoopBack API endpoints
