Available models inside the isomorphic Loopback client

I want to get profiles for a given company using the isomorphic Loopback client.

The company model uses the MySQL connector and profiles that reside inside the ElasticSearch instance.

The loopback client works fine in my front-end app, the following code works successfully:

let lbclient = window.require('lbclient')

lbclient.models.RemoteProfile.find().done(profiles => {
  // do something with the profiles array
})
Run codeHide result


My goal is to fetch profiles by nested resource:

/ Api / companies / {id} / profiles /

The question is why the following code doesn't work on the client?

// This is the code I execute on the client
lbclient.models.RemoteCompany.findById(8, (err, company) => {
  company.profiles // undefined
})

// This code works very well on the server
Company.findById(8, (err, company) => {
   company.profiles((err, profiles) => {
     // profiles belong the the company having id=8
   }
})
Run codeHide result

You need to include profiles in your request like this:



lbclient.models.RemoteCompany.findById(8, {include: 'profiles'}, (err, company) => {

})
