Please have a look at Fireloop realtime integration. (https://github.com/mean-expert-official/fireloop.io) Missing this realtime functionality in LB4. In my case a must have :-)

@hacksparrow , at this point, I don't think it's a good idea to add the follow-up tasks for the JS spike in the March milestone, so I've removed the following from the list. But I'd like to include the blog post that you're working on as part of the milestone. Do you have any ticket created? If so, could you please update the original description with the link? Thanks.

    - [ ] Port the `examples/todo` app to JavaScript https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next/issues/2501
    - [ ] Create Route in JSLB4 https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next/issues/2474
    - [ ] From datasource config to DataSource instance with no custom classes https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next/issues/2557 

[dhmlau]

@ElHupeke, for the realtime integration, could you please take a look at https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next/issues/119 and continue the discussion over there? Thanks!

UPDATED: nevermind. Looks like you've traced down the right github issue. :)
