[Add Keystone to Existing Apps] How to Utilize Existing Mongoose Models

Based on the instruction given in WIKI, I modified my app. Added this line to import my models defined.

keystone.imports('models')

Thing is, though I can access the keystone admin panel, I can’t see anything. The panel is empty, no model monitored there.

Should I do a list.register() first to see it’s shown in the panel. If it is, then how I can register a well-defined Mongoose model, or must I rewrite the model in keystone’s List style?

Regards.

I have the same question as @Plypy, we have an existing app with quite a large number of models which are shared amongst a number of ExpressJS apps, but I’d love to integrate Keystone’s Admin UI goodness.

We’ve got Keystone’s route working, but like the OP, there’s nothing in the Admin UI. A rewrite of our models into Keystone’s List based format wouldn’t be practical.

Is there a way to use our existing Mongoose models with Keystone’s Admin UI?
