SequelizeEagerLoadingError: product is not associated to collection!
Product Model:
module.exports = (sequelize, Sequelize) => {
const Product = sequelize.define('product', {
id: {
allowNull: false,
autoIncrement: true,
primaryKey: true,
type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
},
name_en: {
type: Sequelize.STRING(255),
},
description_en: {
type: Sequelize.STRING(1024),
},
price: {
type: Sequelize.FLOAT,
allowNull: false,
},
type: {
type: Sequelize.STRING(255),
},
height: {
type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
},
width: {
type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
},
createdAt: {
type: Sequelize.DATE,
defaultValue: Sequelize.NOW,
allowNull: false,
},
updatedAt: {
type: Sequelize.DATE,
defaultValue: Sequelize.NOW,
allowNull: false,
},
}, {})
Product.associate = (models) => {
Product.belongsToMany(models.collection, { through: models.collectionProduct, as: 'collections', foreignKey: 'productId' })
}
return Product
}
Collection Model :
module.exports = (sequelize, Sequelize) => {
const Collection = sequelize.define(
'collection', {
id: {
type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
primaryKey: true,
allowNull: false,
autoIncrement: true,
},
name_en: {
type: Sequelize.STRING(255),
},
itemsCount: {
type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
},
createdAt: {
type: Sequelize.DATE,
defaultValue: Sequelize.NOW,
allowNull: false,
},
updatedAt: {
type: Sequelize.DATE,
defaultValue: Sequelize.NOW,
allowNull: false,
},
}, {},
)
Collection.associate = (models) => {
Collection.belongsToMany(models.product, { through: models.collectionProduct, as: 'products', foreignKey: 'collectionId' })
}
return Collection
}
CollectionProduct Model:
module.exports = (sequelize, Sequelize) => {
const CollectionProduct = sequelize.define('collectionProduct', {
collectionId: {
type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
},
productId: {
type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
},
createdAt: {
type: Sequelize.DATE,
defaultValue: Sequelize.NOW,
allowNull: false,
},
updatedAt: {
type: Sequelize.DATE,
defaultValue: Sequelize.NOW,
allowNull: false,
},
}, {})
CollectionProduct.associate = (models) => {}
return CollectionProduct
}
routes/collection.js
const express = require('express')
const router = express.Router()
const Collection = require('../../controllers/collectionController')
router.get('/:id', async (req, res) => {
const { id: collectionId } = req.params
const collection = await Collection.getOne(collectionId)
return collection
}
collectionController
const db = require('../models/index')
const Collection = db.collection
const Product = db.product
const getOne = async (collectionId) => {
const collection = await Collection.findByPk(collectionId, {
include: {
model: Product,
as: 'products',
attributes: ['id', 'name_en'],
},
})
return collection
}

Answer 1

I found my problem. in collectionController i used model: Product
and Product should be a sequelize model. but in my code this is a function that have been called in models/index. so i changed my calling and pass a sequelize model to getOne
