Sequelize.define() method

Defines a model from an attribute map rather than from a decorated class.

Signature:

define<TInstance, _TAttributes>(modelName: string, attributes: ModelAttributes, options?: ModelOptions): any;

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
modelName	string	Name to register the model under.
attributes	ModelAttributes	Column definitions, as sequelize's own `define` takes them.
options	ModelOptions	(Optional) Model options. `modelName` and `sequelize` are filled in.

Returns:

any

The generated model class.

Remarks

Sequelize's own define() builds on its Model; this one builds on BaseModel, so a model defined this way gets the view handling, the widened returning and the serialization of this package. Decorated classes registered through addModels() are the usual route, and the one database() takes.
