TypeError: Class extends value undefined is not a constructor or null when run node seeds in MVC hom-CodePudding

I am studying MVC and using mysql and sequelize to seed database my seeds folder has index.js and users.js this is the code in seeds/index.js:

const users = require('./users');
const { User } = require('./../models');

// create seeder function
const seeder = async () => {
// this will wipe out the user table
await User.destroy({ where: {}});
// this will insert all users at one
await User.bulkCreate(users);
process.exit(0); // stop the current node process that is running and exit, 0 mean no error happened, 1 mean an error happened
};

(async () => {
await seeder ();
})();

this is seeds/users.js

module.exports = [
{
username: "captain fox 1",
password: 'password'
},
{
username: "captain fox 2",
password: 'password'
},
{
username: "captain fox 3",
password: 'password'
},

];

this is the code in models/User.js:

const { Models, DataTypes } = require('sequelize');
const sequelize = require('./../config/connection');

class User extends Models { }

User.init(
{
id: {
type: DataTypes.UUID,
primaryKey: true,
defaultValue: DataTypes.UUIDV4,
},
username: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false,
validate: {
notNull: true,
}
},
password: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false,
validate: {
notNull: true,
len: [6],
},
},

},

{
    sequelize,
    modelName: 'users',

}
);

module.exports = User;

this is the code in my server.js:

// Dependencies
const express = require('express');
const exphbs = require('express-handlebars');
const routes = require ('./controllers/homepageController');
// const path = require('path');

// Setting extra configuration that we might want to add for handlebars
const hbs = exphbs.create({});

// Set up Express App
const app = express();
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3001;

// Setting up a basic express handlebars app by using the configuration when we declared "const hbs = exphbs.create({});"
app.engine('handlebars', hbs.engine);
// Express when we call res.render, we mean to use a handlebars template
app.set('view engine', 'handlebars');

// middlewares
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(routes);

// app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname,'public')));
// app.use(require('.controllers/'))

// Start the server to begin listening
app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log('Server listening on : http://localhost:'   PORT);
});

this is my models/index.js:

const User = require('./User');


module.exports = {
    User,
};

when I run node seeds in my command line inside root folder it's showing this error:

C:\Users\blablabla\Documents\bootcamp\playground\practice\MVC_todos\models\User.js:6

please help and explain what had happened !!! Thank you very much!!!

CodePudding user response：

I think that you should extend Model class, not Models:

const { Model, DataTypes } = require('sequelize');  //Model instead of Models
const sequelize = require('./../config/connection');

class User extends Model { }    //Model instead of Models

User.init(
{
id: {
type: DataTypes.UUID,
primaryKey: true,
defaultValue: DataTypes.UUIDV4,
},
username: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false,
validate: {
notNull: true,
}
},
password: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false,
validate: {
notNull: true,
len: [6],
},
},

},

{
    sequelize,
    modelName: 'users',

}
);

module.exports = User;

CodePudding user response：

I think you have a problem with your Models import, check that out. Maybe you need to import just Model without the 's'.
