# Sequelize-Auto [![Build Status](http://img.shields.io/travis/sequelize/sequelize-auto/master.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/sequelize/sequelize-auto) [![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/bf9lb89rmpj6iveb?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/durango/sequelize-auto) [![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/github/sequelize/sequelize-auto/badges/gpa.svg)](https://codeclimate.com/github/sequelize/sequelize-auto) [![Test Coverage](https://codeclimate.com/github/sequelize/sequelize-auto/badges/coverage.svg)](https://codeclimate.com/github/sequelize/sequelize-auto/coverage) Automatically generate models for [SequelizeJS](https://github.com/sequelize/sequelize) via the command line. ## Install npm install sequelize-auto ## Prerequisites You will need to install `sequelize`; it's no longer installed by `sequelize-auto`. You will need to install the correct dialect binding before using sequelize-auto. Dialect | Install ---|--- MySQL/MariaDB | `npm install sequelize mysql2` Postgres | `npm install sequelize pg pg-hstore` Sqlite | `npm install sequelize sqlite3` MSSQL | `npm install sequelize tedious` ## Usage sequelize-auto -h -d -u -x [password] -p [port] --dialect [dialect] -c [/path/to/config] -o [/path/to/models] -t [tableName] ``` Options: --help Show help [boolean] --version Show version number [boolean] -h, --host IP/Hostname for the database. [string] -d, --database Database name. [string] -u, --user Username for database. [string] -x, --pass Password for database. If specified without providing a password, it will be requested interactively from the terminal. -p, --port Port number for database (not for sqlite). Ex: MySQL/MariaDB: 3306, Postgres: 5432, MSSQL: 1433 [number] -c, --config Path to JSON file for Sequelize-Auto options and Sequelize's constructor "options" flag object as defined here: https://sequelize.org/master/class/lib/sequelize.js~Sequelize.html#instance-constructor-constructor [string] -o, --output What directory to place the models. [string] -e, --dialect The dialect/engine that you're using: postgres, mysql, sqlite, mssql [string] -a, --additional Path to JSON file containing model options (for all tables). See the options: https://sequelize.org/master/class/lib/model.js~Model.html#static-method-init [string] --indentation Number of spaces to indent [number] -t, --tables Space-separated names of tables to import [array] -T, --skipTables Space-separated names of tables to skip [array] --caseModel, --cm Set case of model names: c|l|o|p|u c = camelCase l = lower_case o = original (default) p = PascalCase u = UPPER_CASE --caseProp, --cp Set case of property names: c|l|o|p|u --caseFile, --cf Set case of file names: c|l|o|p|u|k k = kebab-case --noAlias Avoid creating alias `as` property in relations [boolean] --noInitModels Prevent writing the init-models file [boolean] -n, --noWrite Prevent writing the models to disk [boolean] -s, --schema Database schema from which to retrieve tables[string] -v, --views Include database views in generated models [boolean] -l, --lang Language for Model output: es5|es6|esm|ts es5 = ES5 CJS modules (default) es6 = ES6 CJS modules esm = ES6 ESM modules ts = TypeScript [string] --useDefine Use `sequelize.define` instead of `init` for es6|esm|ts --singularize, --sg Singularize model and file names from plural table names [boolean] ``` > On Windows, provide the path to sequelize-auto: `node_modules\.bin\sequelize-auto [args]` ## Example sequelize-auto -o "./models" -d sequelize_auto_test -h localhost -u my_username -p 5432 -x my_password -e postgres Produces a file/files such as `./models/User.js` which looks like: ```js module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) { return sequelize.define('User', { id: { type: DataTypes.INTEGER, allowNull: false, primaryKey: true, autoIncrement: true }, username: { type: DataTypes.STRING(20), allowNull: true }, aNumber: { type: DataTypes.SMALLINT, allowNull: true }, dateAllowNullTrue: { type: DataTypes.DATE, allowNull: true }, defaultValueBoolean: { type: DataTypes.BOOLEAN, allowNull: true, defaultValue: true } }, { tableName: 'User', }); }; ``` Sequelize-auto also generates an initialization file, `./models/init-models.js`, which contains the code to load each model definition into Sequelize: ```js var DataTypes = require("sequelize").DataTypes; var _User = require("./User"); var _Product = require("./Product"); function initModels(sequelize) { var User = _User(sequelize, DataTypes); var Product = _Product(sequelize, DataTypes); return { User, Product, }; } module.exports = { initModels }; ``` This makes it easy to import all your models into Sequelize by calling `initModels(sequelize)`. ```js var initModels = require("./models/init-models"); ... var models = initModels(sequelize); models.User.findAll({ where: { username: "tony" }}).then(...); ``` Alternatively, you can [Sequelize.import](http://docs.sequelizejs.com/en/latest/docs/models-definition/#import) each model (for Sequelize versions < 6), or `require` each file and call the returned function: ```js var User = require('path/to/user')(sequelize, DataTypes); ``` ## ES6 You can use the `-l es6` option to create the model definition files as ES6 classes, or `-l esm` option to create ES6 modules. Then you would `require` or `import` the classes and call the `init(sequelize, DataTypes)` method on each class. ## TypeScript Add `-l ts` to cli options or `lang: 'ts'` to programmatic options. This will generate a TypeScript class in each model file, and an `init-model.ts` file to import and initialize all the classes. > Note that you need TypeScript **4.x** to compile the generated files. The TypeScript model classes are created as described in the [Sequelize manual](https://sequelize.org/master/manual/typescript.html) Example model class, `order.ts`: ```js import Sequelize, { DataTypes, Model, Optional } from 'sequelize'; import type { Customer, CustomerId } from './customer'; import type { OrderItem, OrderItemId } from './order_item'; export interface OrderAttributes { id: number; orderDate: Date; orderNumber?: string; customerId: number; totalAmount?: number; status: 'PROCESSING' | 'SHIPPED' | 'UNKNOWN'; } export type OrderPk = "id"; export type OrderId = Order[OrderPk]; export type OrderCreationAttributes = Optional; export class Order extends Model implements OrderAttributes { id!: number; orderDate!: Date; orderNumber?: string; customerId!: number; totalAmount?: number; status!: 'PROCESSING' | 'SHIPPED' | 'UNKNOWN'; // Order belongsTo Customer via customerId customer!: Customer; getCustomer!: Sequelize.BelongsToGetAssociationMixin; setCustomer!: Sequelize.BelongsToSetAssociationMixin; createCustomer!: Sequelize.BelongsToCreateAssociationMixin; // Order hasMany OrderItem via orderId orderItems!: OrderItem[]; getOrderItems!: Sequelize.HasManyGetAssociationsMixin; setOrderItems!: Sequelize.HasManySetAssociationsMixin; addOrderItem!: Sequelize.HasManyAddAssociationMixin; addOrderItems!: Sequelize.HasManyAddAssociationsMixin; createOrderItem!: Sequelize.HasManyCreateAssociationMixin; removeOrderItem!: Sequelize.HasManyRemoveAssociationMixin; removeOrderItems!: Sequelize.HasManyRemoveAssociationsMixin; hasOrderItem!: Sequelize.HasManyHasAssociationMixin; hasOrderItems!: Sequelize.HasManyHasAssociationsMixin; countOrderItems!: Sequelize.HasManyCountAssociationsMixin; static initModel(sequelize: Sequelize.Sequelize): typeof Order { Order.init({ id: { autoIncrement: true, type: DataTypes.INTEGER, allowNull: false, primaryKey: true }, orderDate: { type: DataTypes.DATE, allowNull: false, defaultValue: Sequelize.literal('CURRENT_TIMESTAMP'), field: 'OrderDate' }, orderNumber: { type: DataTypes.STRING(10), allowNull: true, field: 'OrderNumber' }, customerId: { type: DataTypes.INTEGER, allowNull: false, references: { model: 'customer', key: 'Id' }, field: 'CustomerId' }, totalAmount: { type: DataTypes.DECIMAL(12,2), allowNull: true, defaultValue: 0.00, field: 'TotalAmount' }, status: { type: DataTypes.ENUM('PROCESSING','SHIPPED','UNKNOWN'), allowNull: false, defaultValue: "UNKNOWN", field: 'Status' } }, { sequelize, tableName: 'order', timestamps: false, }); return Order; } } ``` Example `init-models.ts`: ```js import { Sequelize } from "sequelize"; import { Customer, CustomerAttributes, CustomerCreationAttributes } from "./customer"; import { Order, OrderAttributes, OrderCreationAttributes } from "./order"; import { OrderItem, OrderItemAttributes, OrderItemCreationAttributes } from "./order_item"; import { Product, ProductAttributes, ProductCreationAttributes } from "./product"; import { Supplier, SupplierAttributes, SupplierCreationAttributes } from "./supplier"; export { Customer, CustomerAttributes, CustomerCreationAttributes, Order, OrderAttributes, OrderCreationAttributes, OrderItem, OrderItemAttributes, OrderItemCreationAttributes, Product, ProductAttributes, ProductCreationAttributes, Supplier, SupplierAttributes, SupplierCreationAttributes, }; export function initModels(sequelize: Sequelize) { Customer.initModel(sequelize); Order.initModel(sequelize); OrderItem.initModel(sequelize); Product.initModel(sequelize); Supplier.initModel(sequelize); Order.belongsTo(Customer, { as: "customer", foreignKey: "customerId"}); Customer.hasMany(Order, { as: "orders", foreignKey: "customerId"}); OrderItem.belongsTo(Order, { as: "order", foreignKey: "orderId"}); Order.hasMany(OrderItem, { as: "orderItems", foreignKey: "orderId"}); OrderItem.belongsTo(Product, { as: "product", foreignKey: "productId"}); Product.hasMany(OrderItem, { as: "orderItems", foreignKey: "productId"}); Product.belongsTo(Supplier, { as: "supplier", foreignKey: "supplierId"}); Supplier.hasMany(Product, { as: "products", foreignKey: "supplierId"}); return { Customer: Customer, OrderItem: OrderItem, Order: Order, Product: Product, Supplier: Supplier, }; } ``` Model usage in a TypeScript program: ```js // Order is the sequelize Model class // OrderAttributes is the interface defining the fields // OrderCreationAttributes is the interface defining the fields when creating a new record import { initModels, Order, OrderCreationAttributes } from "./models/init-models"; // import models into sequelize instance initModels(this.sequelize); const myOrders = await Order.findAll({ where: { "customerId": cust.id }, include: ['customer'] }); const attr: OrderCreationAttributes = { customerId: cust.id, orderDate: new Date(), orderNumber: "ORD123", totalAmount: 223.45 }; const newOrder = await Order.create(attr); ``` ## Configuration options For the `-c, --config` option, various JSON/configuration parameters are defined by Sequelize's `options` flag within the constructor. See the [Sequelize docs](https://sequelize.org/master/class/lib/sequelize.js~Sequelize.html#instance-constructor-constructor) for more info. ## Programmatic API ```js const SequelizeAuto = require('sequelize-auto'); const auto = new SequelizeAuto('database', 'user', 'pass'); auto.run().then(data => { console.log(data.tables); // table and field list console.log(data.foreignKeys); // table foreign key list console.log(data.indexes); // table indexes console.log(data.hasTriggerTables); // tables that have triggers console.log(data.relations); // relationships between models console.log(data.text) // text of generated models }); ``` With options: ```js const auto = new SequelizeAuto('database', 'user', 'pass', { host: 'localhost', dialect: 'mysql'|'mariadb'|'sqlite'|'postgres'|'mssql', directory: './models', // where to write files port: 'port', caseModel: 'c', // convert snake_case column names to camelCase field names: user_id -> userId caseFile: 'c', // file names created for each model use camelCase.js not snake_case.js singularize: true, // convert plural table names to singular model names additional: { timestamps: false // ...options added to each model }, tables: ['table1', 'table2', 'myschema.table3'] // use all tables, if omitted //... }) ``` Or you can create the `sequelize` instance first, using a [connection string](https://sequelize.org/master/manual/getting-started.html#connecting-to-a-database), and then pass it to SequelizeAuto: ```js const SequelizeAuto = require('sequelize-auto'); const Sequelize = require('sequelize'); // const sequelize = new Sequelize('sqlite::memory:'); const sequelize = new Sequelize('postgres://user:pass@example.com:5432/dbname'); const options = { caseFile: 'l', caseModel: 'p', caseProp: 'c' }; const auto = new SequelizeAuto(sequelize, null, null, options); auto.run(); ``` ## Resources - [Changelog](https://github.com/sequelize/sequelize-auto/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) ## Testing To set up: 1. Create an empty database called `sequelize_auto_test` on your database server (sqlite excepted) 2. Create a `.env` file from `sample.env` and set your username/password/port etc. The env is read by `test/config.js` 3. Build the TypeScript from the `src` directory into the `lib` directory: `npm run build` Then run one of the test commands below: # mysql only npm run test-mysql # postgres only npm run test-postgres # mssql only npm run test-mssql # sqlite only npm run test-sqlite Also see the [sample](https://github.com/sequelize/sequelize-auto/tree/master/sample) directory which has an example including database scripts, export script, and a sample app.
