Models

Your models are stored in the following directory: models/your-model-name.js.

You can add as much models as you need manually.

We use different plugin depending if you are using a Relational Database such as MySQL, PostrgreSQL, SQLite or MongoDB.

MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite

We use the Sequelize ORM when it comes to relational database. So you will have to represent your models using the proper syntax. For more info you can check: https://sequelize.org/master/

A Sequelize model will basically look like this:

module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
  const Cars = sequelize.define('cars', {
    name: {
      type: DataTypes.STRING
    },
    model: {
      type: DataTypes.STRING
    },
    year: {
      type: DataTypes.DATE
    },
    createdAt: {
      type: DataTypes.DATE
    },
    updatedAt: {
      type: DataTypes.DATE,
    },
  }, {
    tableName: 'cars',
  });

  Cars.associate = (models) => {
  };

  return Cars;
};

MongoDB

We use the Mongoose ODM when it comes to MongoDB. So you will have to represent your models using the proper syntax. For more info you can check: https://mongoosejs.com/docs/guide.html

A Mongoose model will basically look like this:

module.exports = (mongoose) => {
  const schema = mongoose.Schema({
    firstname: {
      type: String,
      required: true
    },
    lastname: {
      type: String,
      required: true
    },
    birthdate: {
      type: Date,
      required: true
    },
    rating: {
      type: Number,
      required: true
    },
    createdAt: {
      type: Date,
      required: true
    },
    updatedAt: {
      type: Date,
      required: true
    }
  });

  return mongoose.model('users', schema, 'users');
};
