Model YML format

A sequalize model has to be minimally defined in some format. The easiest human readable and writable format is YML. Below a sample model that contains all practical sequalize features we use on our models for bare minimum model file:

name: Test Model
fields:
  id:
    type: int
    primaryKey: true
    autoIncrement: true
  name: string
  status: enum(pending, active, disabled)
  created_at: timestamp

Few additional markers in simple "type" annotation to be extended with:

• "#" character designates primaryKey (also adds required: true, allowNull: false, autoIncrement: true options) (i.e: id: int#)
• "+" character designates allowNull: false (i.e: name: string+)

Set up configuration file in your project:

Add following json configuration to your project root with .nomad-generators-config file:

{
    "sequalize": {
        "models_path": "models"
    }
}

If your sequalize models stored in a different folder, define in this configuration variable.

Install (as clonned code)

• npm install
• npm run generate-model <yml-file-path>

Install (as package in parent/project)

Add the dependency and script to your package.json

devDependencies (or dependencies): npm install --save-dev nomad-generator-sequalize

then, add generator command to your scripts in package.json: "generate-model": "nomad-generator-sequalize"

Then, run npm install to install packages and register executable scripts

Usage

To create a new model with yml schema: npm run generate-model

You can also send the yml parameter in this command as argument like:

npm run generate-model new-model.yml
