Nested relations with Sequelize

Question

I am using Sequelize with Node + MySQL.

I have a model structure similar to this:

// models:
var Group, Issue,         


        

Answer 1

If you want to eager load all nested associations use this function.

Issue.find({
    include:getNestedAssociations(Issue)
});



//Recursively load all bested associtiaons
function getNestedAssociations(_model) {
  const associations = [];
  for (const association of Object.keys(_model.associations)) {
    const model = _model.associations[association].target;
    const as = association;
    const include = getNestedAssociations(model);
    associations.push({
      model: model,
      as: as,
      ...(include && { include: include }),
    });
  }
  return associations;
}

Example

Issue.find({
    include: [
        {
            model: Invite,
            include: [Group]
        }
    ]
});
