Don't want to use MySQL about lux HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks!

Let me make sure I understand this issue correctly. Do you want to use a different database other than MySQL (i.e PostgreSQL, SQLite3) or do you want to use Lux to return JSON from another web service that handles the DB connection?

As much as I want you to use Lux on this project unfortunately this is not currently possible. 😞

I'm going to close this issue because this type of functionality is not was Lux is intended for. The integration between Model, Controller, and Serializer is what allows Lux to provide its unique set of features. It's hard to take the Model and database layer out of the equation because it's the foundation for the rest of the system.

In the future we may provide away to use an external service as a data source for the Model layer if enough user's request this feature. Somebody in the community may even write a plugin for this functionality. In the mean time I recommend using Restify or Express.

If you want to chat more about this or have any questions feel free to post them in our Gitter room.

Thanks again for considering Lux on your project! 😃
