How to enable loopback api explorer again?

Again, thanks for your interest but I'm still at work right now so I'll have to look into this in the evening. I'll get home in a couple of hours and try to look into this, but please bear with me as it's been many months since I actually worked on this project.

I'll see if I can come up with a fix for you tonight.

Thank you Jeff. Actually both the api entry point localhost:9000/api/... and api explorer localhost:9000/explorer are broken. I guess you have to say to angular ui-router to let them pass or something...

I have an update here. Try starting up your app from your project folder using

node .

This should give you access to the /explorer route and the /api route (once you have defined an API resource that can return you something, anyway).

I'm going to look into whether I can duplicate this functionality under grunt server, but I'm not sure if I'm enough of a wizard to pull that off. For the time being I hope this is a suitable workaround. If I can't come up with anything better I'll add this to the README.md.

I'm running into problems launching the app using slc start, which should work, but the machine I'm using right now output a lot of red test while building the strongloop package a moment ago, so I'm not sure if slc is misbehaving or the package is misconfigured.

I figured it would be the other command suitable to launch an app based on this generator.

I would like this package to support slc fully, as it's the native process manager for loopback projects and would be great for production use.

Is there anyone out there that has had any luck running their working copy using slc start?

Edit: Discovered that slc start doesn't run under Windows. Since I'm on my home PC I don't have an Ubuntu VM I can spin up to try out, but most likely that's all that's wrong. See https://docs.strongloop.com/display/SLC/Running+apps+with+slc if you're interested.
