# Creating your own NamingStrategy

If you defined your connection options in the ormconfig file, then you can simply use it and override it following way:

import {createConnection, getConnectionOptions} from "typeorm";
import {MyNamingStrategy} from "./logger/MyNamingStrategy";

// getConnectionOptions will read options from your ormconfig file
// and return it in connectionOptions object
// then you can simply append additional properties to it
getConnectionOptions().then(connectionOptions => {
    return createConnection(Object.assign(connectionOptions, {
        namingStrategy: new MyNamingStrategy()
    }))
});
