Loopback HasAndBelongToMany in MySQL

I have a Loopback application and I try to connect it to the MySQL datasource and migrate my models. In order, to do this I use autoupdate().

But when I open the MySQL database to inspect the result I don't see the created table for any HasAndBelongsToMany relationship.

Here in the docs it says it should create a separate table. I don't see it.

How does Loopback handle HasAndBelongsToMany relationships? Is this a limitation of autoupdate()?

Solution

  • I have tried and read a number of things but unfortunately in the end I had to create the relation tables manually.

    I would love to hear a better a solution if such a thing exists.
