Azure Mobile services (node.js backend) : I remember vaguely sometime back I had read somewhere that the shared libraries cannot be used in Custom API, however I don't remember where exactly I read that. Tried googling, searching here in SO, but didn't find anything.
Now that I started coding my Custom API, I need to know this for sure, whether what I remember vaguely is really true or not; if someone has any idea about this, I'll much appreciate if you can confirm.
many thanks.
Yes you can create shared scripts and use them from your mobile service custom API scripts.
See this link for enabling source control and getting a local copy so you can create and push your scripts: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/mobile-services-store-scripts-source-control/#use-npm
Then take a look at this link for more on using some of the "native" node modules or helper functions: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/mobile-services-how-to-use-server-scripts/#shared-code
