Where condition in nested include in Sequelize - mysql

Question

I have a model with 3 entities, Documents, Employees and Managers. A Document belongs to and Employee and an Employee belongs to a Manager.
My objective is to retrieve all the documents of a manager employees.
My piece of code is working
Document.findAll({
include: [{
model: models.Employee,
required: true,
as: 'employee',
include: [{
model: models.Manager,
required: true,
as: 'manager',
}],
}],
But I'm not really satisfied, I would like to have my where condition outside my include but when I try
where {
'employee.manager.id': id
}
an error is raised.
Is it possible to setup a where condition outside the includes ?
EDIT :
I changed my code to
Document.findAll({
where: {'$employee.manager.id$': id},
include: [{
model: models.Employee,
required: true,
as: 'employee',
include: [{
model: models.Manager,
required: true,
as: 'manager',
where: { id: managerId },
}],
}],
and it's working.
Now, I would like to refine my model. Each document as a type (administrative, evaluation ...) and I would like to retrieve the most recent document for each type for each manager. I used an order by which is working fine and tried to use a group by which is not working
order: [ [ 'updatedAt', 'DESC' ]],
group: ['type'],
I get the following message : column \"Document.id\" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong ?

Answer 1

Yes, you can do that ,
Issue with current one :
where {
'employee.manager.id': id // <--- Here 'employee.manager.id' cosidered as whole column name
}
Solution :
where {
'$employee.manager.id$': id //<--- To make sequlize realize you need to place it b/w $$ ,
//or
sequelize.col('employee.manager.id') : id // <--- You can try this also
}
