What is sequelize?

Sequelize is a promise-based Node.js ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) library for Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, and Microsoft SQL Server. It features solid transaction support, relations, eager and lazy loading, read replication and more. Sequelize follows the Active Record paradigm and allows developers to define models and their relationships in a way that abstracts database access, making it easier to maintain and evolve the application codebase.

What are sequelize's main functionalities?

Model Definition

This feature allows you to define models in Sequelize, which represent tables in the database. Each model can have various attributes and their respective data types.

const User = sequelize.define('user', { username: Sequelize.STRING, birthday: Sequelize.DATE });

CRUD Operations

Sequelize provides methods for creating, reading, updating, and deleting records in the database, which correspond to the CRUD operations.

User.create({ username: 'alice', birthday: new Date(1986, 6, 20) }); User.findAll(); User.update({ username: 'alicejr' }, { where: { id: 1 } }); User.destroy({ where: { id: 1 } });

Associations

This feature allows you to define associations between models. For example, a user can have many posts, and a post belongs to a user.

User.hasMany(Post); Post.belongsTo(User);

Transactions

Sequelize supports transactions which allow you to execute multiple queries in an atomic way, ensuring data integrity.

sequelize.transaction(transaction => { return User.create({ username: 'bob' }, { transaction }); });

Migrations

Sequelize has a migration tool that allows you to define changes to the database schema, which can be applied and rolled back programmatically.

module.exports = { up: (queryInterface, Sequelize) => { return queryInterface.createTable('users', { id: { allowNull: false, autoIncrement: true, primaryKey: true, type: Sequelize.INTEGER }, username: { type: Sequelize.STRING } }); }, down: (queryInterface, Sequelize) => { return queryInterface.dropTable('users'); } };
