sequelize with typescript can not use .create with type attributes - mysql

Question

The IDBAttribute -
interface IDBAtribute {
readonly id: number;
readonly createdAt: Date;
readonly updatedAt: Date;
}
The User attributes -
interface IDBMoviesAttributes extends IDBAttribute {
readonly title: string;
readonly description: string;
readonly category: string;
readonly release_date: number;
readonly movie_hour_length: number;
readonly movie_minute_length: number;
readonly image_path: string;
readonly video_path: string;
}
The User model -
import { BuildOptions, DataTypes, Model, Sequelize } from "sequelize";
import { IDBUserAttributes } from "./shared/db-table";
interface UserModel extends Model<IDBUserAttributes>, IDBUserAttributes {}
class User extends Model<UserModel, IDBUserAttributes> {}
type UserStatic = typeof Model & {
new (values?: object, options?: BuildOptions): UserModel;
};
const UserFactory = (sequelize: Sequelize): UserStatic => {
return <UserStatic>sequelize.define("users", {
id: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER.UNSIGNED,
autoIncrement: true,
primaryKey: true,
unique: true,
allowNull: false,
},
email: {
type: DataTypes.STRING(320),
allowNull: false,
unique: true,
},
username: {
type: DataTypes.STRING(26),
allowNull: false,
},
password: {
type: DataTypes.STRING(255),
allowNull: false,
},
createdAt: {
type: DataTypes.DATE,
allowNull: false,
defaultValue: DataTypes.NOW,
},
updatedAt: {
type: DataTypes.DATE,
allowNull: false,
defaultValue: DataTypes.NOW,
},
});
}
export {
UserModel,
User,
UserFactory,
UserStatic,
}
I'm Using the User for .create method in sequelize like this -
User.create({
email: req.body.email,
username: req.body.username,
password: hashedPassword,
})
The error -
Argument of type '{ email: string; username: string; password: string; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'IDBUserAttributes'.
Type '{ email: string; username: string; password: string; }' is missing the following properties from type 'IDBUserAttributes': id, createdAt, updatedAtts(2345)
I know to error is type error but i don't know any other why to the User model, is there any other way I can achive that? I don't need to create the id,createdAt, updatedAt.
How can I get the model in the correct way?

Answer 1

Try making id ,createdAt ,updatedAt as Optional(?) in IDBUserAttributes.
It might work
Example:
interface IDBUserAttributes {
id?: number;
createdAt?: Date;
updatedAt?: Date;
}

Answer 2

const newObjectData: Request['body'] = {
user_id: 1
};
and now, you can use "create" method like this;
await Model.create(newObjectData);
