How to make Sequelize use singular table names

Question

I have an model called User but Sequelize looks for the table USERS whenever I am trying to save in the DB. Does anyone know how to set Sequelize to use singular table names

Answer 1

While the accepted answer is correct, you can do this once for all tables rather than having to do it separately for each one. You simply pass in a similar options object into the Sequelize constructor, like so:

var Sequelize = require('sequelize');

//database wide options
var opts = {
    define: {
        //prevent sequelize from pluralizing table names
        freezeTableName: true
    }
}

var sequelize = new Sequelize('mysql://root:123abc@localhost:3306/mydatabase', opts)

Now when you define your entities, you don't have to specify freezeTableName: true:

var Project = sequelize.define('Project', {
    title: Sequelize.STRING,
    description: Sequelize.TEXT
})
