How to set the mongodb collection name when using loopback v4?

Question

Loopback v.4相对较新，我在stackoverflow上找不到如何修改mongodb集合的名称。

Answer 1

after sometime (try and error), found out that the collection name is exactly your model name.

the structure of the loopback 4 as far as i know:

• models
  • yourmodel.model.ts
• datasources
  • yourdatasource.datasource.ts
  • yourdatasource.datasource.json
• controllers
• repositories

i think it would be nice if they add the collection name as a field to the json file in datasource directory, since it already includes the configuration for the mongodb.

hope this helps. thought it would be nice to have this on Stackoverflow. Please feel free to add to this answer, so it would cover more edge cases.
