Nodejs with Sequelizejs using separate files per model

Question

This is an embarrassingly beginner question, but I just want to settle my worries about Sequelizejs. I want to split out each model into its own file to keep my source organize

Answer 1

In case if one wants to use EcmaScript 6 approach there is great example with explanation in Sequelize documentation here.

// in your server file - e.g. app.js
const Project = sequelize.import(__dirname + "/path/to/models/project")

// The model definition is done in /path/to/models/project.js
// As you might notice, the DataTypes are the very same as explained above
module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
  return sequelize.define("project", {
    name: DataTypes.STRING,
    description: DataTypes.TEXT
  })
}

The import method can also accept a callback as an argument.

sequelize.import('project', (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
  return sequelize.define("project", {
    name: DataTypes.STRING,
    description: DataTypes.TEXT
  })
})
