I am trying to associate 3 tables in sequelize.
The models I have created are as follows.
Users model
var Sequelize = require('sequelize');
module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) {
var User = sequelize.define('User', {
uuid: {
type: Sequelize.STRING,
primaryKey: true
},
first_name: {
type: Sequelize.STRING,
allowNull: false
},
last_name: {
type: Sequelize.STRING,
allowNull: false
},
birth_date: {
type: Sequelize.DATE,
allowNull: false
},
gender: {
type: Sequelize.STRING,
allowNull: true
},
email_id: {
type: Sequelize.STRING,
allowNull: false,
validate: {
isEmail: true
}
},
contact_number: {
type: Sequelize.STRING,
allowNull: false,
validate: {
isNumeric: true
}
}
}, {
classMethods: {
associate: function(models) {
User.hasMany(models.UserSchool)
}
}
});
return User;
};
Schools model
var Sequelize = require('sequelize');
module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) {
var School = sequelize.define('School', {
school_id: {
type: Sequelize.STRING,
primaryKey: true
},
name: {
type: Sequelize.STRING,
allowNull: false
},
address: {
type: Sequelize.TEXT,
allowNull: false
},
city: {
type: Sequelize.STRING,
allowNull: false
}
}, {
classMethods: {
associate: function(models) {
School.hasMany(models.UserSchool)
}
}
});
return School;
};
UserSchools model
var Sequelize = require('sequelize');
module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) {
var UserSchool = sequelize.define('UserSchool', {
year_of_joining: {
type: Sequelize.DATE,
allowNull: true
},
year_of_passing: {
type: Sequelize.DATE,
allowNull: true
},
school_type: {
type: Sequelize.STRING,
allowNull: false
},
course: {
type: Sequelize.STRING,
allowNull: true
}
}, {
classMethods: {
associate: function(models) {
UserSchool.belongsTo(models.User, {
onDelete: "CASCADE",
foreignKey: {
allowNull: true
}
}),
UserSchool.belongsTo(models.School, {
onDelete: "CASCADE",
foreignKey: {
allowNull: true
}
});
}
}
});
return UserSchool;
};
When I retrieve users the userschools object is associated but school object is not to userschools. How can I create a 3 way association to retrieve the complete data?
Thanks in advance.
Creating associations in sequelize is done by calling one of the belongsTo / hasOne / hasMany / belongsToMany functions on a model (the source), and providing another model as the first argument to the function (the target). hasOne - adds a foreign key to the target and singular association mixins to the source.
There are two ways you can create JOIN queries and fetch data from multiple tables with Sequelize: Create raw SQL query using sequelize. query() method. Associate related Sequelize models and add the include option in your Sequelize query method.
exports = db; belongsToMany() provides simple way to define the Sequelize Many-to-Many relationship. By passing "tutorial_tag" to through above, Sequelize will automatically generate a model named tutorial_tag as the through table (junction table), with two columns: tag_id and tutorial_id.
Can you try this, also?
user.js
classMethods: {
associate: function(models) {
// associations can be defined here
User.belongsToMany(models.School, {
through: {
model: models.UserSchool
},
foreignKey: 'uuid'
});
}
}
school.js
classMethods: {
associate: function(models) {
//associations can be defined here
School.belongsToMany(models.User, {
through: {
model: models.UserSchool
},
foreignKey: 'school_id'
});
}
}
No association in UserSchool.
