I have two tables: Users and Accounts. One user has one account and vice versa. Here are my two models:
User Model
const Sequelize = require('sequelize');
const DataTypes = Sequelize.DataTypes;
module.exports = function (app) {
const sequelizeClient = app.get('sequelizeClient');
const user = sequelizeClient.define('users', {
// omitting the definition for brevity
});
user.associate = function (models) {
user.hasOne(models.accounts);
// I could get things to work when I made it a one to many
// but that's not what I want.
// user.hasMany(models.accounts, { foreignKey: 'user_id' });
};
return user;
};
Account Model
const Sequelize = require('sequelize');
const DataTypes = Sequelize.DataTypes;
module.exports = function (app) {
const sequelizeClient = app.get('sequelizeClient');
const account = sequelizeClient.define('accounts', {
// omitting the definition for brevity
});
account.associate = function (models) {
account.belongsTo(models.users, {foreignKey: 'user_id'});
// I can't get groups and roles working either but that's
// another question...
account.belongsToMany(models.groups, {
through: 'accountsingroups',
foreignKey: 'accountid'
});
account.belongsToMany(models.roles, {
through: 'accountsinroles',
foreignKey: 'accountid'
});
};
return account;
};
From these models I get a Users table and an Accounts table that has an additional column called user_id.
I have a series of before create hooks: hashPassword, hashSecurityQuestions, and relateAccount. The first two work flawlessly. The third one is where I'm having problems. Here is my relateAccount hook:
relateAccount before create hook
module.exports = function (options = {}) {
return function (context) {
const AccountModel = context.app.services.accounts.Model;
context.params.sequelize = {
include: [{ model: AccountModel }]
};
};
};
With the above setup I am able to insert a new user into the Users table using Postman but the Accounts table remains empty. Here is a sample Postman request:
{
"username": "doctordonna",
"firstname": "Donna",
"lastname": "Noble",
"email": "besttempinchiswick@tardis.com",
"password": "ood1!",
"accounts":
{
"questiononeid": "1a3ccccb-42ff-4553-9e54-824022414f50",
"questiononeanswer": "100 words per minute",
"questiontwoid": "6f9b0a38-0b1f-46dd-8726-2c9ff3566686",
"questiontwoanswer": "Adipose Industries",
"questionthreeid": "95c7f66f-63ef-48b2-b2b4-d73d383077e8",
"questionthreeanswer": "Vesuvius",
"questionfourid": "ff94887b-6015-4b84-8259-4801b2b404a3",
"questionfouranswer": "Time Vortex",
"isapproved": true,
"lastactivitydate": null,
"lastlogindate": null,
"lastpasswordchangeddate": null,
"isonline": false,
"islockedout": false,
"lastlockedoutdate": null,
"failedpasswordattemptcount": 0,
"failedpasswordattemptwindowstart": null,
"isdeactivated": false,
"deactivated_at": null
}
}
Like I said above it works perfectly when I change my associations to a One to Many however, I want this to be a One to One. If I remove user.hasOne(models.accounts); from the User Model I get an error saying error: SequelizeEagerLoadingError: accounts is not associated to users!
Obviously I'm doing something wrong and I guess I'm not understanding what I've read in both the Sequelize documentation and the Feathers documentation.
Ugh. This one was a really stupid mistake on my part.
In my request I needed to make accounts singular- account. So my request should look like:
{
"username": "doctordonna",
"firstname": "Donna",
"lastname": "Noble",
"email": "besttempinchiswick@tardis.com",
"password": "ood1!",
"account":
{
"questiononeid": "1a3ccccb-42ff-4553-9e54-824022414f50",
"questiononeanswer": "100 words per minute",
"questiontwoid": "6f9b0a38-0b1f-46dd-8726-2c9ff3566686",
"questiontwoanswer": "Adipose Industries",
"questionthreeid": "95c7f66f-63ef-48b2-b2b4-d73d383077e8",
"questionthreeanswer": "Vesuvius",
"questionfourid": "ff94887b-6015-4b84-8259-4801b2b404a3",
"questionfouranswer": "Time Vortex",
"isapproved": true,
"lastactivitydate": null,
"lastlogindate": null,
"lastpasswordchangeddate": null,
"isonline": false,
"islockedout": false,
"lastlockedoutdate": null,
"failedpasswordattemptcount": 0,
"failedpasswordattemptwindowstart": null,
"isdeactivated": false,
"deactivated_at": null
}
}
