Extend built-in User model to support more properties and behaviors in loopback

问题

I want a model to represent a profile in my loopback app. But, the built-in User model found in loopback only have the following properties

• username
• password
• realm
• emailVerified

What is the best way to extend the built-in User model in order to insert more properties like phone number, profile picture, and the likes?

It was better if you have added your code for better answer according to your question but you can check this site which talks about customizing the built-in user model and also this. I hope this answers your question.

Create a new model common/models/user.json

{
  "name": "user",
  "base": "User",
  "idInjection": true,
  "properties": {
      "firstName"{
         "type":"string",
         "required":true
       }
   }
  "restrictResetPasswordTokenScope": true,
  "emailVerificationRequired": true,
  "validations": [],
  "relations": {},
  "acls": [
    {
      "principalType": "ROLE",
      "principalId": "$everyone",
      "accessType": "READ",
      "permission": "ALLOW"
    }
  ],
  "methods": []
}

Add this to model-config.json

  "user":
    "dataSource": "yourDataSource"
  }

Hope this works for you
