How to make join queries using Sequelize on Node.js

I am using sequelize ORM; everything is great and clean, but I had a problem when I use it with join queries. I have two models: users and posts.

var User = db.seq.define('User',{
    username: { type: db.Sequelize.STRING},
    email: { type: db.Sequelize.STRING},
    password: { type: db.Sequelize.STRING},
    sex : { type: db.Sequelize.INTEGER},
    day_birth: { type: db.Sequelize.INTEGER},
    month_birth: { type: db.Sequelize.INTEGER},
    year_birth: { type: db.Sequelize.INTEGER}

});

User.sync().success(function(){
    console.log("table created")
}).error(function(error){
    console.log(err);
})


var Post = db.seq.define("Post",{
    body: { type: db.Sequelize.TEXT },
    user_id: { type: db.Sequelize.INTEGER},
    likes: { type: db.Sequelize.INTEGER, defaultValue: 0 },

});

Post.sync().success(function(){
    console.log("table created")
}).error(function(error){
    console.log(err);
})

I want a query that respond with a post with the info of user that made it. In the raw query, I get this:

db.seq.query('SELECT * FROM posts, users WHERE posts.user_id = users.id ').success(function(rows){
            res.json(rows);
        });

My question is how can I change the code to use the ORM style instead of the SQL query?

Solution

User.hasMany(Post, {foreignKey: 'user_id'})
Post.belongsTo(User, {foreignKey: 'user_id'})

Post.find({ where: { ...}, include: [User]})

Which will give you

SELECT
  `posts`.*,
  `users`.`username` AS `users.username`, `users`.`email` AS `users.email`,
  `users`.`password` AS `users.password`, `users`.`sex` AS `users.sex`,
  `users`.`day_birth` AS `users.day_birth`,
  `users`.`month_birth` AS `users.month_birth`,
  `users`.`year_birth` AS `users.year_birth`, `users`.`id` AS `users.id`,
  `users`.`createdAt` AS `users.createdAt`,
  `users`.`updatedAt` AS `users.updatedAt`
FROM `posts`
  LEFT OUTER JOIN `users` AS `users` ON `users`.`id` = `posts`.`user_id`;

The query above might look a bit complicated compared to what you posted, but what it does is basically just aliasing all columns of the users table to make sure they are placed into the correct model when returned and not mixed up with the posts model

Other than that you'll notice that it does a JOIN instead of selecting from two tables, but the result should be the same
