Cannot connect loopback model to mongo db collection

I have a mongo db collection named like "name.types". When I am creating model for the collection in loopback, I cannot enter the model name with the "." as it says special characters not allowed. So I created the model as "name_types". Now how can I connect this model to the collection "name.types"? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Solution

  • You can set collection name in model.json file :

    //model.json

...
"options": {
    "validateUpsert": true,    
    "mongodb": {
      "collection": "name_types"
    }
  },
....
