[Query] Does Ponzu support run on my existing DB(Mysql) #156

Closed garyyao closed 7 years ago

garyyao commented 7 years ago

@nilslice i already have an API system, i expect the CMS system can connect to my existing DB(mysql), and take the existing tables(models) as the entities, to manage the content. Seems Ponzu doesn't support this after checked the your documentation. Is my understanding correct? Thanks!

Correct, Ponzu does not work as you had expected. That is an interesting idea though! :+1: You could use Ponzu, but would need to implement the editor.Editable interface on your models (as Content types in Ponzu), as well as register them to the item.Types map in their init() func. Then, the admin routes would need to talk to a different db.

Ponzu is responsible for both the DB (Bolt, an embedded data store), and the API to interact with its data.
