## rest-explorer package

A LoopBack 4 component for adding a self-hosted REST API Explorer.

## Remarks

The component should be loaded in the constructor of your custom Application class. Applications scaffolded by recent versions of our lb4 CLI tool have the self-hosted REST API Explorer pre-configured out of the box.
