What is @types/sequelize?
@types/sequelize provides TypeScript type definitions for the Sequelize ORM, allowing developers to use Sequelize with TypeScript and benefit from type checking and autocompletion.
What are @types/sequelize's main functionalities?
Model Definition
Defines a model with specific attributes and their types. This allows for type-safe model definitions in TypeScript.
const User = sequelize.define('User', {
username: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false
},
birthday: {
type: DataTypes.DATE
}
});
Model Synchronization
Synchronizes all defined models to the database. This is useful for ensuring that the database schema matches the model definitions.
await sequelize.sync({ force: true });
Querying
Performs a query to retrieve all instances of the User model. TypeScript ensures that the returned data matches the User model definition.
const users = await User.findAll();
Associations
Defines associations between models, such as one-to-many or many-to-many relationships. TypeScript helps ensure that these associations are correctly defined and used.
User.hasMany(Post);
Post.belongsTo(User);

@types/mongoose
@types/mongoose provides TypeScript type definitions for Mongoose, an ODM (Object Data Modeling) library for MongoDB and Node.js. Mongoose is specifically designed for MongoDB, offering schema-based solutions and validation, making it a good choice for MongoDB users.
