Counting associated entries with Sequelize

Question

I have two tables, locations and sensors. Each entry in sensors has a foreign key pointing to locations. Using Sequelize,

Answer 1

Use findAll() with include() and sequelize.fn() for the COUNT:

Location.findAll({
    attributes: { 
        include: [[Sequelize.fn("COUNT", Sequelize.col("sensors.id")), "sensorCount"]] 
    },
    include: [{
        model: Sensor, attributes: []
    }]
});

Or, you may need to add a group as well:

Location.findAll({
    attributes: { 
        include: [[Sequelize.fn("COUNT", Sequelize.col("sensors.id")), "sensorCount"]] 
    },
    include: [{
        model: Sensor, attributes: []
    }],
    group: ['Location.id']
})
