The story begins in one day, I want to make NodeJS API endpoints like

GET /api/blogposts?fields=author{name,avatar},title,detail

and it should return me

[{
    "author": {
        "name": "Liam Ng",
        "avatar": "https://someurl",
    },
    "title": "blogpost title",
    "detail": "blogpost detail"
}]

While exploring the option on making a blog with content management system, I give a try on making use of koa2 + Postgres + Angular and the result turns out quite good.

Using google lighthouse to test it, resulted in 91/100 performance, 100/100 progressive web app, 100/100 accessibility, 100/100 best practices, 100/100 SEO, with the main bundle size in 775.7KB.

It has been awhile since I have been inactive in open-source world. Although nowadays trend is in VR, AI and iOT, API development is still needed.

Project has been discontinued due to Koa2 + Graphql basically can do what I plan to do

In a nutshell, loopback is a NodeJS framework for building rest API server

Currently favor Koa2 more for NodeJS

What I am going to write about is a real time chat proof of concept which I have done in 2014. It is now at Github. A demo can be found at http://nodejslim.herokuapp.com/
