Here is my model class and configuration file.

book.js

module.exports = function(Book) {

};

book.json

{
  "name": "Book",
  "base": "PersistedModel",
  "idInjection": true,
  "options": {
    "validateUpsert": true
  },
  "properties": {
    "id": {
      "type": "string",
      "required": true,
      "default": "1"
    },
    "name": {
      "type": "string",
      "required": true,
      "default": "nil"
    }
  },
  "validations": [],
  "relations": {},
  "acls": [],
  "methods": {}
}

and in server/model-config.json

{
  "_meta": {
    "sources": [
      "../common/models",
      "./models"
    ]
  },
  "User": {
    "dataSource": "db"
  },
  "AccessToken": {
    "dataSource": "mysql",
    "public": false
  },
  "ACL": {
    "dataSource": "mysql",
    "public": false
  },
  "RoleMapping": {
    "dataSource": "mysql",
    "public": false
  },
  "Role": {
    "dataSource": "mysql",
    "public": false
  },
  "Book": {
    "dataSource": "mysql",
    "public": false
  }
}

Please help to close this issue.

I believe you might have not initialized models in the datasource.

You need to run the following code in a boot script (save the code to ./server/boot/prepare-db.js for instance. Give it the name you want but it must be inside the ./server/boot subfolder.)

module.exports = function prepareDB(app, cb) {
    var ds = app.dataSources.mysql;
    ds.automigrate(function() {
       console.log("MySQL db ready");
    });
}

The automigrate function is documented here.
