How can I override builtin login method in Loopback?

Question

I've created a new User model, based on builtin one. I'm trying this:

module.exports = function(TiUser) {
  TiUser.on('dataSourceAttached', function(obj) {
    var login = TiUser.login;
    TiUser.login = function(credentials, include, cb) {
      var result = login.apply(this, credentials);

      // Do my stuff
      cb(null, my_data);
    };
  });
};

But I can't get it working... What is wrong? or how could this be done right?

Thanks

You may want to consider adding an afterRemote() hook to login(). Now you can achieve to add role( using Role model ) to user. For example:

TiUser.afterRemote('login', function(ctx, next) {

    //add role to the user.

    next();
});
