Functions

The ./src/index.js file contains some functions that can be used to add dynamic and logic based configurations.

Register

Path — ./src/index.js.

The register function is an asynchronous function that runs before the application is initialized. It can be used to:

• extend plugins
• extend content-types programmatically

Bootstrap

Path — ./src/index.js

The bootstrap function is called at every server start. You can use it to add a specific logic at this moment of your server's lifecycle.

Here are some use cases:

• Create an admin user if there isn't one.
• Fill the database with some necessary data.
• Load some environment variables.

The bootstrap function can be synchronous or asynchronous.

Synchronous

module.exports = () => {
  // some sync code
};

Return a promise

module.exports = () => {
  return new Promise(/* some code */);
};

Asynchronous

module.exports = async () => {
  await someSetup();
};
