sequelize-revision v6.0.0

Sequelize Revision

TIPS | Troubleshooting | Code of Conduct | Contributing | Security Policy | Changelog

Track revisions of your Sequelize models, revert them to any revision or restore them after being destroyed. Written in TypeScript and can be used with sequelize-typescript.

Sequelize Revision is a fork from Sequelize Paper Trail supporting similar options and providing consistent behavior with following improvements:

• Re-written in TypeScript and support type checks
• Working well with or without sequelize-typescript
• Tracking users for making changes with cls-hooked
• Support JSON data type for storing revisions
• Exclude revision attributes for each model
• Passing revision metadata to operations
• Logging revisions for upsert operations
• Better coverage in unit tests

Installation

$ npm install --save sequelize-revision

Usage

Sequelize Revision assumes that you already set up your Sequelize connection, for example, like this:

import { Sequelize } from "sequelize";

const sequelize = new Sequelize("sqlite::memory:");

then adding Sequelize Revision is as easy as:

import { SequelizeRevision } from "sequelize-revision";

const sequelizeRevision = new SequelizeRevision(sequelize, options);
const [Revision, RevisionChanges] = sequelizeRevision.defineModels();

which loads the Sequelize Revision library, and the defineModels() method sets up a Revision and RevisionChange models.

Note: If you pass userModel option to the constructor in order to enable user tracking, userModel should be setup before defineModels() is called.

Then for each model that you want to keep a paper trail you simply add:

sequelizeRevision.trackRevision(Model);

Example

import Sequelize from "sequelize";
import { SequelizeRevision } from "sequelize-revision";

const sequelize = new Sequelize("sqlite::memory:");
const sequelizeRevision = new SequelizeRevision(sequelize, options);
const [Revision, RevisionChanges] = sequelizeRevision.defineModels();

const User = sequelize.define("User", { name: Sequelize.STRING });
sequelizeRevision.trackRevision(User);

Sequelize Revision supports various options that can be passed into the initialization. The following are the default options:
