Setup

To install from npm:

Basic Use

After installing @hatchifyjs/sequelize-create-with-associations, import the Sequelize class and extend it with extendSequelize

const { Sequelize } = require("sequelize");
const extendSequelize = require("@hatchifyjs/sequelize-create-with-associations");

//extend sequelize
extendSequelize(sequelize);

//create your sequelize instance
const sequelize = new Sequelize({
  ...config,
});

// define your models
const User = sequelize.define("User", {
  name: DataTypes.STRING,
});

const Skill = sequelize.define("Skill", {
  name: DataTypes.STRING,
});

User.hasMany(Skill);
Skill.belongsTo(User);

//synchronize your models
await mockedSequelize.sync();

// create a record with associated data
await User.create({
  name: "Roy",
  skills: [
    {
      name: "Product Design",
    },
  ],
});
//or
await User.create({
  name: "Roy",
  skills: [
    {
      id: "0661f6f2-f0d8-11ed-a05b-0242ac120003",
    },
  ],
});

// It should work on the fly.
