Loopback 4 how to override the built-un User model

Question

I'm a beginner on loopback 4. I'm trying to secure my REST API with @loopback/authentication-jwt.

I would like to add some columns on User built-in model but i don't know why... I have not found any documentation about that.

Can you help me please ?

Best regards

Patrick, you can create your own user model by using the lb4 model command in the terminal and define the properties there. After adding the model you need to create the repository, so that it can read/write to the database.

Finally create a controller to expose the REST API. I recommend you follow the step by step on Loopback 4 tutorials page

The basic flow is:-

Create model
Create repository
Create controller

Then API is ready.

This does not answer the question. The `User` model already exists in the `authentication-jwt` package. – Chris Kobrzak Oct 23 '22 at 19:24
