How to extend User properly with mysql in Loopback - mysql

Question

I am very new to loopback. I am making my first app with it and I change my datasource to MySql. my person model look like this
person.json
{
"name": "Person",
"plural": "People",
"base":"User",
"properties": {
"firstName": {
"type": "string",
"required": true
},
"lastName": {
"type": "string",
"required": true
},
"username": {
"type": "string",
"required": true
},
"email": {
"type": "string",
"required": true
},
"password": {
"type": "string",
"required": true
}
},
"validations": [],
"relations": {},
"acls": [
{
"principalType": "ROLE",
"principalId": "$everyone",
"permission": "ALLOW",
"accessType": "*"
}
],
"methods": []
}
and
datasource.json
{
"db": {
"name": "db",
"connector": "memory"
},
"mysql": {
"host": "localhost",
"port": 3306,
"database": "demo",
"username": "demouser",
"password": "****",
"name": "mysql",
"connector": "mysql"
}
}
and
model-config.json
{
"_meta": {
"sources": [
"../common/models",
"./models"
]
},
"AccessToken": {
"dataSource": "db",
"public": false
},
"ACL": {
"dataSource": "db",
"public": false
},
"RoleMapping": {
"dataSource": "db",
"public": false
},
"Role": {
"dataSource": "db",
"public": false
},
"Person": {
"dataSource": "mysql",
"public": true
}
}
After this when I want to create any person I cant create any person as I am unauthorized. I inserted an entry in mysql and tried to login but no luck.But when I remove User as base of person then all goes fine. But I lose all auth features inherit from User. How can I extend User using mysql as datasource properly so that I can use Person as my Users?
Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

Can you try to add the following ACL?
"acls": [
{
"principalType": "ROLE",
"principalId": "$everyone",
"permission": "ALLOW",
"accessType": "*",
"property": "create"
}
],
You can debug the application using:
DEBUG=loopback:security:* node .
