Primary key is not "id"

See original GitHub issue

I tried to declare the user table as:

table.increments('user_id').primary();
table.string('username');

but when I do a HTTP GET call to the server /user/1 I got the error

{
  "name": "BadRequest",
  "message": "select `user`.* from `user` where `id` = '1' - ER_BAD_FIELD_ERROR: Unknown column 'id' in 'where clause'",
  "code": 400,
  "className": "bad-request",
  "errors": {}
}

Expected result

the user record would be shown accordingly.

If you want to use an id key that is not id you have to tell the adapter which id property to use when initializing the service as documented here.

app.use('/messages', service({
  id: 'user_id',
  Model: db,
  name: 'messages'
}));
