This folder contains database ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) models, mainly using Sequelize, which define the structure and relationships of the database tables.
The folder contains the following files:
index.js: The main entry point for the models, which loads and initializes all model definitions, sets up associations between models, and exports the database models as a module.
The index.js file:
-
Imports required modules, including Sequelize and a custom logger.
-
Loads the Sequelize configuration for the current environment.
-
Creates a new Sequelize instance and authenticates with the database.
-
Reads and initializes model definitions from the current folder, filtering out non-JS files and the current file.
-
Sets up defined associations between models.
-
Exports the database models as a module, including the Sequelize instance and Sequelize library.
