loopbackjs

I am starting to gain grounds with loopback api . Currently I am trying to integrate authentication through social login for my app. I have found three pages that indicate how to accommplish this but they all show this a bit differently and unclear: github-loopback-component-passport & npmjs-loopback-component-passport & github-loopback-component-passport-example .

I am working with the Loopback Framework, doing a web project. But I think that the question that I am exposing here has less to do with this, but with general Javascript / Node.JS knowledge.

I'm trying to use a extended loopback user model together with the loopback-component-passport for facebook login. The login itself is working but i can't get it to use my custom user model instead of the builtin "Users". steps i took: - create custom user model with slc loopback:model extending "User" { "name": "myuser", "plural": "myusers", "base": "User", "idInjection": true, "options": { "validateUpsert": true }, "properties": { "mytestproperty": { "type": "string", "default": "myteststring" } }, "validations": [], "relations": {}, "acls": [], "methods": {} } - Setup passport component
