sequelize posting NULL in database(MySql) - mysql

Question

module.exports = function (sequelize, Sequelize) {
var User = sequelize.define('user', {
id: { autoIncrement: true, primaryKey: true, type: Sequelize.INTEGER },
firstname: { type: Sequelize.STRING, notEmpty: true },
lastname: { type: Sequelize.STRING, notEmpty: true },
//username: { type: Sequelize.TEXT },
//about: { type: Sequelize.TEXT },
mobileno: { type: Sequelize.STRING },
email: { type: Sequelize.STRING, validate: { isEmail: true } },
password: { type: Sequelize.STRING, allowNull: false },
last_login: { type: Sequelize.DATE },
//status: { type: Sequelize.ENUM('active', 'inactive'), defaultValue: 'active' }
});
return User;
}
Everything else is posting fine but mobileno is being posted as null in database.
I tried setting mobile no as allowNull = false but that gives me an error.
I also tried changing string to text but that didn't help either...
this is the eroor after adding allowNull=false..

Answer 1

After checking the documentation your code is working normally.
// setting allowNull to false will add NOT NULL to the column, which means an error will be
// thrown from the DB when the query is executed if the column is null. If you want to check that a value
// is not null before querying the DB, look at the validations section below.
title: { type: Sequelize.STRING, allowNull: false },
Before saving to the db, you need to validate your info to make sure that mobileno is not null. Once you have a value for mobileno you can save it to the db.

Your problems is in your data not in your sequelize model
Based on your question I think you send the empty value for mobileno field
About AllowNull parameter: when you will set the false it's means sequelize will return error if you will not pass parameter (which happens in your case)
By default AllowNull value is true
My suggestion is to check you data before insert query also when you will run create command using sequelize check console it's will show you insert into sql format
