I am trying to add push notification support to a REST server build in Strongloop / Loopback. I have followed the instructions at http://docs.strongloop.com/display/public/LB/Push+notifications, but it fails. It seems to be due to the line that reads var db = require('./data-sources/db'); this doesn't exist in my loopback installation (perhaps it is documentation related to an older version)?

I can get the sample server running, but trying to get it going in my application has eluded me...

The doc is outdated (I'll fix it). That way of getting the data source is based on the old structure of the push example. You will need to get a handle on your data source differently; typically something like 

var datasource = app.datasources.db;

See Working with LoopBack objects for more information.

  • Thanks - appreciate the response. But is seems more complex than just this... I managed to get it working in the end, but to do so I had to: -copy the notification.json, installation.json and application.json files from the example to my common/models directory -add a new datasource into my datasources.json file for "push" (again, copied from the example) - add various lines to my model-config.json file for application, installation, notification and push Perhaps I did this the hard way, but its the only solution I could find. – johnmac Nov 26 '14 at 21:47
  • I would use server-2.0 with loopback 2.x ....it's a new example. I would use that as your starting point. The docs IMHO could use alot more seasoning, but they're probably busy trying to put out a product. Still a beta product I believe. – user798719 May 28 '15 at 16:24
