I'll try to see if we can do a migration without too much changes sometime this week.

Hi @achrinza. I just wanted to ask you if there has been any progress. I was trying something on my own but i am still new to loopback and haven't yet completely understood how the connector works.

Hi @arberqytyku, unfortunately this issue slipped past the timebox, and hence hasn't been updated to use the new SDK.

I've begun to restart my work on LoopBack and this connector.

No ETA at the moment for this connector.

There's some larger work underway to modernise the Juggler ORM and connectors to use TypeScript, so I'm targeting to publish a prerelease version as we sort that work.

The connector should still work with basic auth.

If there's any questions, please don't hesitate to ask in the Slack org; The invite link can be found on loopback.io top navbar.
