Sequelize bulk update with inner join

Question

I am currently working with Sequelize and can not figure out how to update bulk when im associating two tables together. I have the follow:

Tables:

members
   user_id
   channel_id
   all

activities
   user_id
   channel_id

I am trying to update members.all when the user_ids match, members.channel_id is 2 and activities.channel_id is not 2.

Here is working Postgresql:

UPDATE members AS m 
   SET    "all" = true 
   FROM   activities AS a 
   WHERE  m.user_id = a.user_id 
      AND m.channel_id = 2 
      AND a.current_channel != 2; 

Is this possible to do is sequelize? How do include a.current_channel != 2 into my current update?

Member.update(
        { all: true },
        { where: { channel_id: channelId } },
)

When I try to add an include it does not work.

I think you can't do something like that using Sequelize update method. I would use the include option in a findAll method, but as far as I can see on the documentation, there is no include option for the update method.

You could use a raw query to use directly the query.

sequelize.query("UPDATE members AS m SET "all" = true FROM activities AS a WHERE m.user_id = a.user_id AND m.channel_id = 2 AND a.current_channel != 2").spread((results, metadata) => {
  // Results will be an empty array and metadata will contain the number of affected rows.
});
