Set encrypt to true on Sequelize-cli migrate for MSSQL

Question

I'm trying to run sequelize-cli, specifically npx sequelize db:migrate.

I've created a config file in config/config.js which looks like this (obviously with correct credentials):

module.exports = {
  development: {
    username: "USER",
    password: "PASSWORD",
    database: "DB_NAME",
    host: "HOST.net",
    dialect: 'mssql',
    dialectOptions: {
      encrypt: "true" // bool - true - doesn't work either
    }
  }
};

However I'm receiving the following error:

ERROR: Server requires encryption, set 'encrypt' config option to true.

As you can see from my config I believe I have set encrypt to true. This is my understanding of how to set this option from the docs.

How can I successfully set encrypt to true?

This should fix the issue,

module.exports = {
  development: {
    username: "USER",
    password: "PASSWORD",
    database: "DB_NAME",
    host: "HOST.net",
    dialect: 'mssql',
    dialectOptions: { 
      options: {
        encrypt: true
      }
    }
  } 
};
