# Loopback Example (MySQL)

The project is generated by [LoopBack](http://loopback.io). I read about 

people wanting to use their own database for the built-in user model and 

decided to see how easy it would be to accomplish. I followed the instructions 

in https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-example-mysql and built the example 

from scratch, and then edited the User model.

## How To Change Built-In User Model To MySQL Database

 * make sure you have the new MySQL datasource configured from tutorial

 * edit the `/server/model-config.json` file changing built-in models to your new DS

 * create the `/server/bin/automigrate.js` file (should be built from tutorial) and add `automigrate()` functions for each built-in Model

 * run `> node server/bin/automigrate.js` and you should see the following:

~~~

Your-Computer:loopback-example-mysql your-username$ node server/bin/automigrate.js 

User model migrated

ACL model migrated

AccessToken model migrated

Record created: { email: '[email protected]',

  createdAt: Wed Jun 10 2015 08:29:10 GMT-0600 (MDT),

  lastModifiedAt: Wed Jun 10 2015 08:29:10 GMT-0600 (MDT),

  id: 2 }

Record created: { email: '[email protected]',

  createdAt: Wed Jun 10 2015 08:29:10 GMT-0600 (MDT),

  lastModifiedAt: Wed Jun 10 2015 08:29:10 GMT-0600 (MDT),

  id: 1 }

done

Role model migrated

RoleMapping model migrated

If you check your database, you should now have the tables created and when you use the 

built-in `localhost:3000/explorer` app after starting the app, you can create users and 

they will appear in your database.

Kudos to the team at StrongLoop for building a nice framework and auto-scaffolding. I look 

forward to learning more and hopefully contributing as time permits.
