Build its own credential : how to set Nodes allowed to use it?

I can see that MySQL node can be allowed in the mysql credentials form
But I can’t see this in the mysql credentials source
So how can I allow a custom node to use my custom credentials ?

You have to define on the custom node that it wants to use the “mySql” credentials:

github.com

n8n-io/n8n/blob/master/packages/nodes-base/nodes/MySql/MySql.node.ts#L27-L32

      
        
            		credentials: [
            			{
            				name: 'mySql',
            				required: true,
            			},
            		],

Then the custom node will show up in that list and you can give it access.

Thanks jan, it works, I didn’t use the good name of my credential.
