## Open questions

- How to test code migrated from strong-remoting and loopback (v3)? Do we want
to copy existing tests over? Migrate them to async/await style? Don't bother

IMO the answer ideally should be definitely use async/await style, but re-write them using the tests for inspiration. If you were to reflect on how you migrated strong-remoting and loopback (v3) code over for the spike, do you feel that there were significant changes to warrant a re-write of the tests?

with testing at all, use few acceptance-level tests only?

- How to split 2k+ lines of new (migrated) code into smaller chunks that will be
easier to review?

- Should we register LB3 Models for dependency injection into LB4 code? Register
them as repositories, models, services, or something else?

- Should we implement booting datasources from `datasources.json`? I see two
obstacles:

1. Datasources must be booted before models are attached.
2. LB3 supports variable replacement in JSON config files using ENV vars but
also `app.get(name)`. This may add unwanted complexity to our compat layer.

## By the way

- TypeScript does not support static index signature, which make it difficult to
consume custom model methods. See
https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/6480.

- I'd like us to extract the Booter contract into a standalone package so that
v3compat and other similar extensions don't have to inherit entire boot and
don't have to lock down a specific semver-major version of boot in extension
dependencies. Instead, they should depend on the Booter contract only, this
contract should not be changed so often (hopefully).

# @loopback/example-lb3models

This project demonstrates how to add LoopBack 3 models into a LoopBack 4
application.

## Instructions

1. Create a new LB4 app using `lb4 app`. Add `@loopback/v3compat'` to project
dependencies.

2. Copy your model files from `common/models` to `legacy/models` directory, for
example:

```text
legacy/models/coffee-shop.js
legacy/models/coffee-shop.json
```

IMPORTANT! These files must live outside your `src` directory, out of sight
of TypeScript compiler.

Should we say why here?


3. Copy your `server/model-config` to `src/legacy/model-config.json`.

Remove references to LoopBack 3 built-in models like User and ACL. LoopBack 4
does not support local authentication yet.

Remove `_meta` section, LoopBack 4 does not support this config option.

4. Modify your Application class and apply `CompatMixin`.

nitpick: might want to mention filename here


```ts
import {CompatMixin} from '@loopback/v3compat';
// ...

export class TodoListApplication extends CompatMixin(
BootMixin(ServiceMixin(RepositoryMixin(RestApplication))),
) {
// ...
}
```

5. Register your legacy datasources in Application's constructor.

```ts
this.v3compat.dataSource('mysqlDs', {
name: 'mysqlDs',
connector: 'mysql',
host: 'demo.strongloop.com',
port: 3306,
database: 'getting_started',
username: 'demo',
password: 'L00pBack',
});
```
