Model

A Model represents a table in the database. Instances of this class represent a database row.

Model instances operate with the concept of a dataValues property, which stores the actual values represented by the instance. By default, the values from dataValues can also be accessed directly from the Instance, that is:

instance.field
// is the same as
instance.get('field')
// is the same as
instance.getDataValue('field')

However, if getters and/or setters are defined for field they will be invoked, instead of returning the value from dataValues. Accessing properties directly or using get is preferred for regular use, getDataValue should only be used for custom getters.

See:

Sequelize#define for more information about getters and setters

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
options	Object	optional	A hash of options to describe the scope of the search
options.where	Object	optional	A hash of attributes to describe your search. See above for examples.
options.attributes	Array<String> \| Object	optional	A list of the attributes that you want to select, or an object with `include` and `exclude` keys. To rename an attribute, you can pass an array, with two elements - the first is the name of the attribute in the DB (or some kind of expression such as `Sequelize.literal`, `Sequelize.fn` and so on), and the second is the name you want the attribute to have in the returned instance
options.attributes.include	Array<String>	optional	Select all the attributes of the model, plus some additional ones. Useful for aggregations, e.g. `{ attributes: { include: [[sequelize.fn('COUNT', sequelize.col('id')), 'total']] }`
options.attributes.exclude	Array<String>	optional	Select all the attributes of the model, except some few. Useful for security purposes e.g. `{ attributes: { exclude: ['password'] } }`
options.paranoid	Boolean	optional default: true	If true, only non-deleted records will be returned. If false, both deleted and non-deleted records will be returned. Only applies if `options.paranoid` is true for the model.
options.include	Array<Object\|Model\|String>	optional	A list of associations to eagerly load using a left join. Supported is either `{ include: [ Model1, Model2, ...]}` or `{ include: [{ model: Model1, as: 'Alias' }]}` or `{ include: ['Alias']}`. If your association are set up with an `as` (eg. `X.hasMany(Y, { as: 'Z }`, you need to specify Z in the as attribute when eager loading Y).
options.include[].model	Model	optional	The model you want to eagerly load
options.include[].as	String	optional	The alias of the relation, in case the model you want to eagerly load is aliased. For `hasOne` / `belongsTo`, this should be the singular name, and for `hasMany`, it should be the plural
options.include[].association	Association	optional	The association you want to eagerly load. (This can be used instead of providing a model/as pair)
options.include[].where	Object	optional	Where clauses to apply to the child models. Note that this converts the eager load to an inner join, unless you explicitly set `required: false`
options.include[].or	Boolean	optional default: false	Whether to bind the ON and WHERE clause together by OR instead of AND.
options.include[].on	Object	optional	Supply your own ON condition for the join.
options.include[].attributes	Array<String>	optional	A list of attributes to select from the child model
options.include[].required	Boolean	optional	If true, converts to an inner join, which means that the parent model will only be loaded if it has any matching children. True if `include.where` is set, false otherwise.
options.include[].separate	Boolean	optional	If true, runs a separate query to fetch the associated instances, only supported for hasMany associations
options.include[].limit	Number	optional	Limit the joined rows, only supported with include.separate=true
options.include[].through.where	Object	optional	Filter on the join model for belongsToMany relations
options.include[].through.attributes	Array	optional	A list of attributes to select from the join model for belongsToMany relations
options.include[].include	Array<Object\|Model\|String>	optional	Load further nested related models
options.order	Array \| fn \| col \| literal	optional	Specifies an ordering. Using an array, you can provide several columns / functions to order by. Each element can be further wrapped in a two-element array. The first element is the column / function to order by, the second is the direction. For example: `order: [['name', 'DESC']]`. In this way the column will be escaped, but the direction will not.
options.limit	Number	optional
options.offset	Number	optional
options.transaction	Transaction	optional	Transaction to run query under
options.lock	String \| Object	optional	Lock the selected rows. Possible options are transaction.LOCK.UPDATE and transaction.LOCK.SHARE. Postgres also supports transaction.LOCK.KEY_SHARE, transaction.LOCK.NO_KEY_UPDATE and specific model locks with joins. See transaction.LOCK for an example
options.raw	Boolean	optional	Return raw result. See sequelize.query for more information.
options.logging	Function	optional default: false	A function that gets executed while running the query to log the sql.
options.benchmark	Boolean	optional default: false	Pass query execution time in milliseconds as second argument to logging function (options.logging).
options.having	Object	optional
options.searchPath	String	optional default: DEFAULT	An optional parameter to specify the schema search_path (Postgres only)

Return:

Promise<Array<Model>>

public static findAndCountAll(findOptions: Object): Promise<{count: Integer, rows: Model[]}> source

Find all the rows matching your query, within a specified offset / limit, and get the total number of rows matching your query. This is very useful for paging

Model.findAndCountAll({
  where: ...,
  limit: 12,
  offset: 12
}).then(result => {
  ...
})

In the above example, result.rows will contain rows 13 through 24, while result.count will return the total number of rows that matched your query.

When you add includes, only those which are required (either because they have a where clause, or because required is explicitly set to true on the include) will be added to the count part.

Suppose you want to find all users who have a profile attached:

User.findAndCountAll({
  include: [
     { model: Profile, required: true}
  ],
  limit 3
});

Because the include for Profile has required set it will result in an inner join, and only the users who have a profile will be counted. If we remove required from the include, both users with and without profiles will be counted

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
findOptions	Object	optional	See findAll

Return:

Promise<{count: Integer, rows: Model[]}>

See:

Model.findAll for a specification of find and query options

public static findByPk(id: Number | String | Buffer, options: Object): Promise<Model> source

public static findOne(options: Object): Promise<Model> source

Search for a single instance. This applies LIMIT 1, so the listener will always be called with a single instance.

Alias: find

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
options	Object	optional	A hash of options to describe the scope of the search
options.transaction	Transaction	optional	Transaction to run query under
options.searchPath	String	optional default: DEFAULT	An optional parameter to specify the schema search_path (Postgres only)

public static findOrBuild(options: Object): Promise<Model, initialized> source

Find a row that matches the query, or build (but don't save) the row if none is found. The successful result of the promise will be (instance, initialized) - Make sure to use .spread()

Alias: findOrInitialize

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
options	Object
options.where	Object		A hash of search attributes.
options.defaults	Object	optional	Default values to use if building a new instance
options.transaction	Object	optional	Transaction to run query under
options.logging	Function	optional default: false	A function that gets executed while running the query to log the sql.
options.benchmark	Boolean	optional default: false	Pass query execution time in milliseconds as second argument to logging function (options.logging).

public static findOrCreate(options: Object): Promise<Model, created> source

Find a row that matches the query, or build and save the row if none is found The successful result of the promise will be (instance, created) - Make sure to use .spread()

If no transaction is passed in the options object, a new transaction will be created internally, to prevent the race condition where a matching row is created by another connection after the find but before the insert call. However, it is not always possible to handle this case in SQLite, specifically if one transaction inserts and another tries to select before the first one has committed. In this case, an instance of sequelize. TimeoutError will be thrown instead. If a transaction is created, a savepoint will be created instead, and any unique constraint violation will be handled internally.

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
options	Object
options.where	Object		where A hash of search attributes.
options.defaults	Object	optional	Default values to use if creating a new instance
options.transaction	Transaction	optional	Transaction to run query under

Increment the value of one or more columns. This is done in the database, which means it does not use the values currently stored on the Instance. The increment is done using a SET column = column + X WHERE foo = 'bar' query. To get the correct value after an increment into the Instance you should do a reload.

// increment number by 1
Model.increment('number', { where: { foo: 'bar' });

// increment number and count by 2
Model.increment(['number', 'count'], { by: 2, where: { foo: 'bar' } });

// increment answer by 42, and decrement tries by 1.

public static init(attributes: Object, options: Object): Model source

Initialize a model, representing a table in the DB, with attributes and options.

The table columns are define by the hash that is given as the second argument. Each attribute of the hash represents a column. A short table definition might look like this:

Project.init({
  columnA: {
    type: Sequelize.BOOLEAN,
    validate: {
      is: ['[a-z]','i'],        // will only allow letters
      max: 23,                  // only allow values <= 23

    },
    field: 'column_a'
    // Other attributes here
  },
  columnB: Sequelize.STRING,
  columnC: 'MY VERY OWN COLUMN TYPE'
}, {sequelize})

public static schema(schema: String, options: Object): this source

Apply a schema to this model. For postgres, this will actually place the schema in front of the table name - "schema"."tableName", while the schema will be prepended to the table name for mysql and sqlite - 'schema.tablename'.

This method is intended for use cases where the same model is needed in multiple schemas. In such a use case it is important to call model.schema(schema, [options]).sync() for each model to ensure the models are created in the correct schema.

If a single default schema per model is needed, set the options.schema='schema' parameter during the define() call for the model.

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
schema	String		The name of the schema
options	Object	optional
options.schemaDelimiter	String	optional default: '.'	The character(s) that separates the schema name from the table name
options.logging	Function	optional default: false	A function that gets executed while running the query to log the sql.
options.benchmark	Boolean	optional default: false	Pass query execution time in milliseconds as second argument to logging function (options.logging).

Return:

this

See:

Sequelize#define for more information about setting a default schema.

public static scope(options: Array | Object | String | null): Model source

Apply a scope created in define to the model. First let's look at how to create scopes:

const Model = sequelize.define('model', attributes, {
  defaultScope: {
    where: {
      username: 'dan'
    },
    limit: 12
  },
  scopes: {
    isALie: {
      where: {
        stuff: 'cake'
      }
    },
    complexFunction: function(email, accessLevel) {
      return {
        where: {
          email: {
            [Op.like]: email
          },
          accesss_level {
            [Op.gte]: accessLevel
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
})

Now, since you defined a default scope, every time you do Model.find, the default scope is appended to your query. Here's a couple of examples:

Model.findAll() // WHERE username = 'dan'
Model.findAll({ where: { age: { [Op.gt]: 12 } } }) // WHERE age > 12 AND username = 'dan'

To invoke scope functions you can do:

Model.scope({ method: ['complexFunction', '[email protected]', 42]}).findAll()
// WHERE email like '[email protected]%' AND access_level >= 42

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
options	Array \| Object \| String \| null		The scope(s) to apply. Scopes can either be passed as consecutive arguments, or as an array of arguments. To apply simple scopes and scope functions with no arguments, pass them as strings. For scope function, pass an object, with a `method` property. The value can either be a string, if the method does not take any arguments, or an array, where the first element is the name of the method, and consecutive elements are arguments to that method. Pass null to remove all scopes, including the default.

Return:

Model

A reference to the model, with the scope(s) applied. Calling scope again on the returned model will clear the previous scope.

public static sum(field: String, options: Object): Promise<Number> source

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
field	String
options	Object	optional	See aggregate

Return:

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
values	Object
options	Object
options.where	Object		Options to describe the scope of the search.
options.paranoid	Boolean	optional default: true	If true, only non-deleted records will be updated. If false, both deleted and non-deleted records will be updated. Only applies if `options.paranoid` is true for the model.
options.fields	Array	optional	Fields to update (defaults to all fields)
options.validate	Boolean	optional default: true	Should each row be subject to validation before it is inserted. The whole insert will fail if one row fails validation

Return:

Promise<Array<affectedCount, affectedRows>>

public static upsert(values: Object, options: Object): Promise<created> source

Insert or update a single row. An update will be executed if a row which matches the supplied values on either the primary key or a unique key is found. Note that the unique index must be defined in your sequelize model and not just in the table. Otherwise you may experience a unique constraint violation, because sequelize fails to identify the row that should be updated.

Implementation details:

MySQL - Implemented as a single query INSERT values ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE values
PostgreSQL - Implemented as a temporary function with exception handling: INSERT EXCEPTION WHEN unique_constraint UPDATE
SQLite - Implemented as two queries INSERT; UPDATE. This means that the update is executed regardless of whether the row already existed or not
MSSQL - Implemented as a single query using MERGE and WHEN (NOT) MATCHED THEN Note that SQLite returns undefined for created, no matter if the row was created or updated. This is because SQLite always runs INSERT OR IGNORE + UPDATE, in a single query, so there is no way to know whether the row was inserted or not.

Alias: insertOrUpdate

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
values	Object
options	Object	optional
options.validate	Boolean	optional default: true	Run validations before the row is inserted
options.fields	Array	optional default: Object.keys(this.attributes)	The fields to insert / update. Defaults to all changed fields

options.logging	Function	optional default: false	A function that gets executed while running the query to log the sql.
options.benchmark	Boolean	optional default: false	Pass query execution time in milliseconds as second argument to logging function (options.logging).
options.searchPath	String	optional default: DEFAULT	An optional parameter to specify the schema search_path (Postgres only)

Return:

Promise<created>

Returns a boolean indicating whether the row was created or updated. For Postgres/MSSQL with (options.returning=true), it returns record and created boolean with signature <Model, created>.

public decrement(fields: String | Array | Object, options: Object): Promise source

Decrement the value of one or more columns. This is done in the database, which means it does not use the values currently stored on the Instance. The decrement is done using a

query. The updated instance will be returned by default in Postgres. However, in other dialects, you will need to do a reload to get the new values.

instance.decrement('number') // decrement number by 1
instance.decrement(['number', 'count'], { by: 2 }) // decrement number and count by 2
instance.decrement({ answer: 42, tries: 1}, { by: 2 }) // decrement answer by 42, and tries by 1.
                                                       // `by` is ignored, since each column has its own value

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description

public destroy(options: Object): Promise<undefined> source

Destroy the row corresponding to this instance. Depending on your setting for paranoid, the row will either be completely deleted, or have its deletedAt timestamp set to the current time.

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
options	Object	optional default: {}
options.force	Boolean	optional default: false	If set to true, paranoid models will actually be deleted
options.logging	Function	optional default: false	A function that gets executed while running the query to log the sql.
options.transaction	Transaction	optional
options.searchPath	String	optional default: DEFAULT	An optional parameter to specify the schema search_path (Postgres only)

Return:

Promise<undefined>

public equals(other: Model): Boolean source

Check whether this and other Instance refer to the same row

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
other	Model

Return:

Boolean

public equalsOneOf(others: Array): Boolean source

Check if this is equal to one of others by calling equals

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
others	Array

Return:

Boolean

public get(key: String, options: Object): Object | any source

If no key is given, returns all values of the instance, also invoking virtual getters.

If key is given and a field or virtual getter is present for the key it will call that getter - else it will return the value for key.

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
key	String	optional
options	Object	optional
options.plain	Boolean	optional default: false	If set to true, included instances will be returned as plain objects
options.raw	Boolean	optional default: false	If set to true, field and virtual setters will be ignored

Return:

Object | any

public getDataValue(key: String): any source

Get the value of the underlying data value

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
key	String

Return:

any

public increment(fields: String | Array | Object, options: Object): Promise<this> since 4.0.0 source

Increment the value of one or more columns. This is done in the database, which means it does not use the values currently stored on the Instance. The increment is done using a

SET column = column + X

query. The updated instance will be returned by default in Postgres. However, in other dialects, you will need to do a reload to get the new values.

instance.increment('number') // increment number by 1
instance.increment(['number', 'count'], { by: 2 }) // increment number and count by 2
instance.increment({ answer: 42, tries: 1}, { by: 2 }) // increment answer by 42, and tries by 1.
                                                       // `by` is ignored, since each column has its own value

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
fields	String \| Array \| Object		If a string is provided, that column is incremented by the value of `by` given in options. If an array is provided, the same is true for each column. If and object is provided, each column is incremented by the value given.
options	Object	optional
options.by	Integer	optional default: 1	The number to increment by
options.silent	Boolean	optional default: false	If true, the updatedAt timestamp will not be updated.
options.logging	Function	optional default: false	A function that gets executed while running the query to log the sql.
options.transaction	Transaction	optional
options.searchPath	String	optional default: DEFAULT	An optional parameter to specify the schema search_path (Postgres only)
options.returning	Boolean	optional default: true	Append RETURNING * to get back auto generated values (Postgres only)

Return:

Promise<this>

See:

Model#reload

public isSoftDeleted(): Boolean source

Helper method to determine if a instance is "soft deleted". This is particularly useful if the implementer renamed the deletedAt attribute to something different. This method requires paranoid to be enabled.

Return:

Boolean

public previous(key: String): any | Array<any> source

Returns the previous value for key from _previousDataValues.

If called without a key, returns the previous values for all values which have changed

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
key	String	optional

Return:

any | Array<any>

public reload(options: Object): Promise<this> source

Refresh the current instance in-place, i.e. update the object with current data from the DB and return the same object. This is different from doing a find(Instance.id), because that would create and return a new instance. With this method, all references to the Instance are updated with the new data and no new objects are created.

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
options	Object	optional	Options that are passed on to `Model.find`
options.logging	Function	optional default: false	A function that gets executed while running the query to log the sql.

Return:

Promise<this>

See:

Model.findAll

public restore(options: Object): Promise<undefined> source

Restore the row corresponding to this instance. Only available for paranoid models.

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
options	Object	optional default: {}
options.logging	Function	optional default: false	A function that gets executed while running the query to log the sql.
options.transaction	Transaction	optional

Return:

Promise<undefined>

public save(options: Object): Promise<this|Errors.ValidationError> source

Validate this instance, and if the validation passes, persist it to the database. It will only save changed fields, and do nothing if no fields have changed.

On success, the callback will be called with this instance. On validation error, the callback will be called with an instance of Sequelize.ValidationError. This error will have a property for each of the fields for which validation failed, with the error message for that field.

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
options	Object	optional
options.fields	string[]	optional	An optional array of strings, representing database columns. If fields is provided, only those columns will be validated and saved.
options.silent	Boolean	optional default: false	If true, the updatedAt timestamp will not be updated.
options.validate	Boolean	optional default: true	If false, validations won't be run.
options.hooks	Boolean	optional default: true	Run before and after create / update + validate hooks
options.logging	Function	optional default: false	A function that gets executed while running the query to log the sql.
options.transaction	Transaction	optional
options.searchPath	String	optional default: DEFAULT	An optional parameter to specify the schema search_path (Postgres only)
options.returning	Boolean	optional	Append RETURNING * to get back auto generated values (Postgres only)

Return:

Promise<this|Errors.ValidationError>

public set(key: String | Object, value: any, options: Object): * source

Set is used to update values on the instance (the sequelize representation of the instance that is, remember that nothing will be persisted before you actually call save). In its most basic form set will update a value stored in the underlying dataValues object. However, if a custom setter function is defined for the key, that function will be called instead. To bypass the setter, you can pass raw: true in the options object.

If set is called with an object, it will loop over the object, and call set recursively for each key, value pair. If you set raw to true, the underlying dataValues will either be set directly to the object passed, or used to extend dataValues, if dataValues already contain values.

When set is called, the previous value of the field is stored and sets a changed flag(see changed).

Set can also be used to build instances for associations, if you have values for those. When using set with associations you need to make sure the property key matches the alias of the association while also making sure that the proper include options have been set (from .build() or .find())

If called with a dot.separated key on a JSON/JSONB attribute it will set the value nested and flag the entire object as changed.

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
key	String \| Object
value	any
options	Object	optional
options.raw	Boolean	optional default: false	If set to true, field and virtual setters will be ignored
options.reset	Boolean	optional default: false	Clear all previously set data values

Return:

See:

Model.findAll for more information about includes

public setDataValue(key: String, value: any) source

Update the underlying data value

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
key	String
value	any

public toJSON(): object source

Convert the instance to a JSON representation. Proxies to calling get with no keys. This means get all values gotten from the DB, and apply all custom getters.

Return:

object

See:

Model#get

public update(updates: Object, options: Object): Promise<this> source

This is the same as calling set and then calling save but it only saves the exact values passed to it, making it more atomic and safer.

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
updates	Object		See `set`
options	Object		See `save`

Return:

Promise<this>

See:

public validate(options: Object): Promise<undefined> source

Validate the attributes of this instance according to validation rules set in the model definition.

The promise fulfills if and only if validation successful; otherwise it rejects an Error instance containing { field name : [error msgs] } entries.

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
options	Object	optional	Options that are passed to the validator
options.skip	Array	optional	An array of strings. All properties that are in this array will not be validated
options.fields	Array	optional	An array of strings. Only the properties that are in this array will be validated
options.hooks	Boolean	optional default: true	Run before and after validate hooks

Return:

Promise<undefined>

public where(checkVersion: *): Object source

Get an object representing the query for this instance, use with options.where

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
checkVersion	*

Return:

Object

Return Properties:
