The difference between model and association in include when Sequelize connects and queries

Feb 28, 2017 pm 02:32 PM

Preface

Everyone knows that when using Sequelize to perform connection queries between relational models (tables), we will use model/as to specify the connection query model that already has an existing relationship, or through association to directly specify the connection query model relationship. So, in what scenarios should each be used?

1. Example preparation

Model definition

First, define the two models User and Company:

'use strict'

const Sequelize = require('sequelize');

// 创建 sequelize 实例
const sequelize = new Sequelize('db1', 'root', '111111', {logging: console.log});

// 定义User模型
var User = sequelize.define('user', {
 id:{type: Sequelize.BIGINT(11), autoIncrement:true, primaryKey : true, unique : true},
 name: { type: Sequelize.STRING, comment:'姓名' },
 sex: { type: Sequelize.INTEGER, allowNull: false, defaultValue: 0, comment:'性别' },
 companyId: { type: Sequelize.BIGINT(11), field: 'company_id', allowNull: false, comment:'所属公司' },
 isManager: { type: Sequelize.BOOLEAN, field: 'is_manager', allowNull: false, defaultValue: false, comment:'是否管理员'}
}, 
{ charset: 'utf8',
 collate: 'utf8_general_ci'});

// 定义Company模型
var Company = sequelize.define('company', {
 id:{ type:Sequelize.BIGINT(11), autoIncrement:true, primaryKey : true, unique : true},
 name: { type: Sequelize.STRING, comment:'公司名称' }
}, 
{ charset: 'utf8',
 collate: 'utf8_general_ci'});

// 定义User-Company关联关系
User.belongsTo(Company, {foreignKey:'companyId'});

// sequelize.sync({force:true}).then(() => {
// process.exit();
// });
Copy after login

As shown above, we defined two models, User and Company, and specified a 1:1 relationship between User and Company through belongsTo.

Insert data

Next, insert some test data based on the just-defined relationship model:

Company.create({name:'某公司'}).then((result) => {
 return Promise.all([
 User.create({name:'何民三', sex:1, companyId:result.id, isManager: true}),
 User.create({name:'张老二', sex:1, companyId:result.id})
 ])
}).then((result) => {
 console.log('done');
}).catch((err) => {
 console.error(err);
});
Copy after login

2. Use model /as

When performing connection query, if the association between models has been defined. You can specify the model to be connected to the query through the 'model' attribute in the include query option, and you can also specify an alias through the 'as' attribute.

For example, query a user from the User model and query the company information of the user:

var include = [{
 model: Company,
 as: 'company'
}];
User.findOne({include:include}).then((result) => {
 console.log(result.name + ' 是 '+result.company.name+' 的员工');
}).catch((err) => {
 console.error(err);
});
Copy after login

The query results are as follows:

何民三 是 某公司 的员工
Copy after login

3. When using association

to connect the query, if there is no connection relationship defined in advance between the two models to be connected to the query, or To use a connection relationship outside the definition. At this time, model relationships can be defined or redefined through association.

For example, query any company in the Company model and query the administrator of the company:

var include = [{
 association: Company.hasOne(User, {foreignKey:'companyId', as:'manager'}),
 where: {isManager:true}
}]

Company.findOne({include:include}).then((result) => {
 console.log(result.name +' 的管理员是 ' +result.manager.name);
}).catch((err) => {
 console.error(err);
});
Copy after login

Due to the relationship between Company-User The model relationship is not defined in advance, so you need to specify the association relationship to be used when connecting the query in the include option.

The query results are as follows:

某公司 的管理员是 何民三
Copy after login

In addition to being used to specify model relationships that have not been defined before, association can also be used to re-define models. relation. For example, suppose we define a 1:N relationship between Company-User through hasMany in advance. This relationship applies to all employees under the query company. In the above example, we need to check the company's administrator through a 1:1 relationship. Therefore, we can redefine the model relationship through association.

Demystifying JavaScript: What It Does and Why It Matters Demystifying JavaScript: What It Does and Why It Matters Apr 09, 2025 am 12:07 AM

JavaScript is the cornerstone of modern web development, and its main functions include event-driven programming, dynamic content generation and asynchronous programming. 1) Event-driven programming allows web pages to change dynamically according to user operations. 2) Dynamic content generation allows page content to be adjusted according to conditions. 3) Asynchronous programming ensures that the user interface is not blocked. JavaScript is widely used in web interaction, single-page application and server-side development, greatly improving the flexibility of user experience and cross-platform development.

The Evolution of JavaScript: Current Trends and Future Prospects The Evolution of JavaScript: Current Trends and Future Prospects Apr 10, 2025 am 09:33 AM

The latest trends in JavaScript include the rise of TypeScript, the popularity of modern frameworks and libraries, and the application of WebAssembly. Future prospects cover more powerful type systems, the development of server-side JavaScript, the expansion of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the potential of IoT and edge computing.

JavaScript Engines: Comparing Implementations JavaScript Engines: Comparing Implementations Apr 13, 2025 am 12:05 AM

Different JavaScript engines have different effects when parsing and executing JavaScript code, because the implementation principles and optimization strategies of each engine differ. 1. Lexical analysis: convert source code into lexical unit. 2. Grammar analysis: Generate an abstract syntax tree. 3. Optimization and compilation: Generate machine code through the JIT compiler. 4. Execute: Run the machine code. V8 engine optimizes through instant compilation and hidden class, SpiderMonkey uses a type inference system, resulting in different performance performance on the same code.

JavaScript: Exploring the Versatility of a Web Language JavaScript: Exploring the Versatility of a Web Language Apr 11, 2025 am 12:01 AM

JavaScript is the core language of modern web development and is widely used for its diversity and flexibility. 1) Front-end development: build dynamic web pages and single-page applications through DOM operations and modern frameworks (such as React, Vue.js, Angular). 2) Server-side development: Node.js uses a non-blocking I/O model to handle high concurrency and real-time applications. 3) Mobile and desktop application development: cross-platform development is realized through ReactNative and Electron to improve development efficiency.

Python is more suitable for beginners, with a smooth learning curve and concise syntax; JavaScript is suitable for front-end development, with a steep learning curve and flexible syntax. 1. Python syntax is intuitive and suitable for data science and back-end development. 2. JavaScript is flexible and widely used in front-end and server-side programming.

From C/C   to JavaScript: How It All Works From C/C to JavaScript: How It All Works Apr 14, 2025 am 12:05 AM

The shift from C/C to JavaScript requires adapting to dynamic typing, garbage collection and asynchronous programming. 1) C/C is a statically typed language that requires manual memory management, while JavaScript is dynamically typed and garbage collection is automatically processed. 2) C/C needs to be compiled into machine code, while JavaScript is an interpreted language. 3) JavaScript introduces concepts such as closures, prototype chains and Promise, which enhances flexibility and asynchronous programming capabilities.
