List More useful info in the root level menu?
inspired by #5113 (comment)
A comparison between ours and RxJS: I like how they unfold and display some core concepts(each in one word) when page loads, to give readers an impression of what the framework does without looking into any details.![]()
(I don't find a good candidate in the root level menu to unfold: "behind the scene" has a long list, others don't list sub-sections in a certain order. But the items in "Inside a LoopBack Application" is close to what I am looking for. )
Here is a list of the most basic concepts I could think of that makes at least REST API developers understand what this framework offers:
App --> Model --> Datasource --> Repository --> Controller --> API Explorer --> Relation --> Security --> Deploy
(Just an example)Maybe we can refactor "Inside a LoopBack Application" to display ^ in the menu?
I see how it can be useful to be able to get an impression of what the framework does at high level. However, I am not convinced though that the sidebar is the right place for this kind of information. IMO, we should provide such overview on one of the introductory pages, e.g. "Inside a LoopBack Application" you mentioned or perhaps on the landing page (see Overview).
Let's discuss this idea and find a good solution.
