Cannot create a mysql entry using nodejs and mysql - mysql

Question

I have a simple node service that should add a db entry to my mysql Users table.
With console log statements, I confirmed that the endpoint is receiving the correct parameter values from the client for username, password and email. However, the entry is not added to my db. I also see in the node logs that the mySQL query appears to ultimately include question marks rather than the actual parameter values. What am I missing here?
My create user query is defined in this file, usercontroller.js
const db = require("../models");
const User = db.users;
const Op = db.Sequelize.Op;
const util = require("util");
var AWS = require("aws-sdk");
const { resolve } = require("path");
const { rejects } = require("assert");
var s3 = new AWS.S3({
accessKeyId: "************",
secretAccessKey: "*************",
region: "us-east-2",
});
// Create and Save a new User
exports.create = (req, res) => {
console.log("creating user");
const username = req.body.username;
const password = req.body.password;
const email = req.body.email;
console.log('username: ' + username)
console.log('password: ' + password)
console.log('email: ' + email)
User.create({
username: username,
email: email,
password: password,
})
.then((data) => {
console.log('data: ' + JSON.stringify(data))
res.send(data);
})
.catch((err) => {
res.status(500).send({
message: err.message || "Some error occurred while creating user.",
});
});
};
This is the output log of calling the create user function above...
creating user
username: A
password: c
email: B
Executing (default): INSERT INTO `Users` (`id`,`username`,`password`,`email`,`createdAt`,`updatedAt`) VALUES (DEFAULT,?,?,?,?,?);
Here is my index.js file...
const dbConfig = require("../config/db.config.js");
const Sequelize = require("sequelize");
const sequelize = new Sequelize(dbConfig.DB, dbConfig.USER, dbConfig.PASSWORD, {
host: dbConfig.HOST,
dialect: dbConfig.dialect,
operatorsAliases: false,
pool: {
max: dbConfig.pool.max,
min: dbConfig.pool.min,
acquire: dbConfig.pool.acquire,
idle: dbConfig.pool.idle
}
});
const db = {};
db.Sequelize = Sequelize;
db.sequelize = sequelize;
db.users = require("./users.model.js")(sequelize, Sequelize);
module.exports = db;
and user.model.js...
module.exports = (sequelize, Sequelize) => {
const User = sequelize.define("User", {
id: {
type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
primaryKey: true,
autoIncrement: true
},
firstname: {
type: Sequelize.STRING
},
lastname: {
type: Sequelize.STRING
},
username: {
type: Sequelize.STRING
},
password: {
type: Sequelize.STRING
},
email: {
type: Sequelize.STRING
},
skill_level: {
type: Sequelize.STRING
},
location: {
type: Sequelize.STRING
},
country: {
type: Sequelize.STRING
},
instagram_username: {
type: Sequelize.STRING
},
facebook_username: {
type: Sequelize.STRING
},
profile_image: {
type: Sequelize.STRING
},
country_code: {
type: Sequelize.STRING
},
age: {
type: Sequelize.INTEGER
},

type: Sequelize.TEXT
}
});
return User;
};
