I am building an application using sequelize. I currently have 3 tables; a User, a Tour, and a Location. The Location has a n:1 relationship with the Tour. The Tour has a n:1 relationship with the user.
Without the User association, the other two tables work fine. Once I add in the user association (and I have tried to do so through a migration AND by dropping and then recreating my entire database), I get a SequelizeEagerLoadingError: Location is not associated with Tour!
Here are my models:
module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) {
var Location = sequelize.define("Location", {
title: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false
},
description: {
type: DataTypes.TEXT,
allowNull: false,
validate: {
len: [500]
}
},
address: {
type: DataTypes.TEXT,
allowNull: false
}
});
Location.associate = function(models) {
Location.belongsTo(models.Tour, {
onDelete: "cascade"
});
};
return Location;
};module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) {
var Tour = sequelize.define("Tour", {
title: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false
},
description: {
type: DataTypes.TEXT,
allowNull: false,
validate: {
len: [1, 1000]
}
},
neighborhood: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false
},
URL: {
type: DataTypes.TEXT,
allowNull: false,
validate: {
len: [1, 1000]
}
},
numberOfStops: DataTypes.INTEGER,
duration: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER,
allowNull: false
},
tags: DataTypes.STRING
});
Tour.associate = function(models) {
Tour.hasMany(models.Location);
};
Tour.associate = function(models) {
Tour.belongsTo(models.User);
};
return Tour;
};
var bcrypt = require("bcrypt-nodejs");
module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) {
var User = sequelize.define("User", {
name: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false
},
email: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false,
unique: true,
validate: {
isEmail: true
}
},
password: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false
}
});
User.prototype.validPassword = function(password) {
return bcrypt.compareSync(password, this.password);
};
User.hook("beforeCreate", function(user) {
user.password = bcrypt.hashSync(
user.password,
bcrypt.genSaltSync(10),
null
);
});
User.associate = function(models) {
User.hasMany(models.Tour);
};
return User;
};And here is the include statement where it is failing, and where we establish the link with the tourId to the location:
app.get("/tour/:id", function(req, res) {
db.Tour.findOne({
where: { id: req.params.id },
include: [db.Location]
}).then(function(tour) {
res.render("tour", {
tour: tour
});
});
});
var API = {
saveTour: function(tour) {
return $.ajax({
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
type: "POST",
url: "api/tours",
data: JSON.stringify(tour)
});
},
saveLocations: function(locations) {
return $.ajax({
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
type: "POST",
url: "api/locations",
data: JSON.stringify(locations)
});
},
getUserId: function() {
return $.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "api/user_data"
});
}
};var tour = {
Users: thisUser.getUserId(),
title: title,
description: description,
neighborhood: neighborhood,
URL: URL,
duration: duration,
tags: tags
};
// console.log(tour);
if (!errors.length) {
// Post our tour to the Tours table, then reveal the form and set our local tour object.
API.saveTour(tour).then(function(tour) {
document.getElementById("submit-tour").remove();
document.getElementById("tourstopssection").style.display = "block";
thisTour.setId(tour.id);
});
}
}
// Function takes in the newly created tour object, grabs DOM values for each.
function addTourLocations(e) {
e.preventDefault();
// Grab and process all of our tour stops.
var locationElements = document.getElementsByClassName("tourstop");
var areStopErrors = false;
var locations = [];
// Loop over every location element on the DOM.
for (var j = 0; j < locationElements.length; j++) {
var children = locationElements[j].children;
// Initialize this location with the tour id; we'll pass in data...
var thisLocation = {
TourId: thisTour.getId()
};
// ... by looping over the DOM children and grabbing their form values.
for (var k = 0; k < children.length; k++) {
if (
children[k].classList.value.includes("stoptitle") &&
children[k].value
) {
var stopTitle = children[k].value;
thisLocation.title = stopTitle;
}
if (
children[k].classList.value.includes("stopaddress") &&
children[k].value
) {
var stopAddress = children[k].value;
thisLocation.address = stopAddress;
}
if (
children[k].classList.value.includes("stopdescription") &&
children[k].value
) {
var stopDescription = children[k].value;
thisLocation.description = stopDescription;
}
}
// Push this location into our locations array.
locations.push(thisLocation);Finally, this is how the app/db are synced:
require("dotenv").config();
var express = require("express");
var session = require("express-session");
var exphbs = require("express-handlebars");
var helpers = require("./lib/helpers");
var db = require("./models");
var passport = require("./config/passport");
var app = express();
var PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
// Middleware
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.static("public"));
var hbs = exphbs.create({
defaultLayout: "main",
helpers: helpers // Require our custom Handlebars helpers.
});
//Sessions are used to keep track of our user's login status
app.use(
session({ secret: "keyboard cat", resave: true, saveUninitialized: true })
);
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
res.locals.user = req.user; // Set a local variable for our user.
next();
});
// Handlebars
app.engine("handlebars", hbs.engine);
app.set("view engine", "handlebars");
// Routes
require("./routes/apiRoutes")(app);
require("./routes/htmlRoutes")(app);
var syncOptions = { force: false };
// If running a test, set syncOptions.force to true
// clearing the `testdb`
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "test") {
syncOptions.force = true;
}
// Starting the server, syncing our models ------------------------------------/
db.sequelize.sync(syncOptions).then(function() {
app.listen(PORT, function() {
console.log(
"==> Listening on port %s. Visit http://localhost:%s/ in your browser.",
PORT,
PORT
);
});
});
module.exports = app;I've been googling for four days....help!
