how to use existing mongoose model with mongrilla?

garciadiazjaime commented 6 years ago

hey @khurramijaz666, I just downloaded this package and I included my "model" into this file: https://github.com/gerardobort/mongorilla/blob/master/config/experimental.json

mongoose helps handling DB connectivity (connect, query, update, ...) but I this package has it's own way to communicate with DB, so if what you are trying to mount mongorilla on top of your existent mongodb collection is:

a) make sure MONGORILLA_MONGO_URL is set MONGORILLA_MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost/collectionName

b) include your 'collection name' into: https://github.com/gerardobort/mongorilla/blob/master/config/default.json so that the user gets permissions

c) enable collection here: https://github.com/gerardobort/mongorilla/blob/master/config/experimental.json so that GUI knows what to render/search

Hope this helps

PD. I just found about this package, hope this helps.
