How do I define a unique index on a combination of columns in sequelize. For example I want to add a unique index on user_id, count and name.

var Tag = sequ         


        

Answer 1

I tried to create an index on a single column. This worked for me. Hope this helps.

Model

module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
  const Tag = sequelize.define(
    "Tag",
    {
      name: { type: DataTypes.STRING, unique: true },
      nVideos: DataTypes.INTEGER
    },
    {
      indexes: [
        {
          unique: true,
          fields: ["name"]
        }
      ]
    }
  );

  return Tag;
};

Migration

module.exports = {
  up: (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    return queryInterface.createTable(
      "Tags",
      {
        id: {
          allowNull: false,
          autoIncrement: true,
          primaryKey: true,
          type: Sequelize.INTEGER
        },
        name: {
          type: Sequelize.STRING,
          unique: "unique_tag"
        },
        nVideos: { type: Sequelize.INTEGER },
        createdAt: {
          allowNull: false,
          type: Sequelize.DATE
        },
        updatedAt: {
          allowNull: false,
          type: Sequelize.DATE
        }
      },
      {
        uniqueKeys: {
          unique_tag: {
            customIndex: true,
            fields: ["name"]
          }
        }
      }
    );
  },
  down: queryInterface => {
    return queryInterface.dropTable("Tags");
  }
};
