I am a nodeJs developer, I failed to get the list of users, when I tested my code on postman it gives me the error below: User.find is not a function The following is my user.js file

'use strict';
 const {
  Model
 } = require('sequelize');
module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
  class User extends Model  {

    static associate(models) {
       }
  }
  User.init({
    username: {
      type:DataTypes.STRING,
      allowNull: false,
    },
    email:  {
      type:DataTypes.STRING,
      allowNull: false,
    },
    password:  {
      type:DataTypes.STRING,
      allowNull: false,
    },
    role: {
      type:DataTypes.STRING,
      allowNull: false,
    },
  }, {
    sequelize,
    tableName:'users',
    modelName: 'User',
  });
  return User;
}; 

and this is where it's imported/required

const router = require('express').Router();
let User = require('../models/user');
router.route('/getUser').post((req, res) => {
    User.find({})
      .then(users => res.json(users))
      .catch(err => res.status(400).json('Error: ', err));
});

It didn't work, i did as you told me but it gives me back "sequelize id not defined" Also I don't think that the problem is in the model because I have used it before and in the login I used .find and it workedwithout any problem ! this login code :

router.post('/login',async(req,res,next)=>{
   const user = await User.findOne({where: {email : req.body.email}});
     if(user){
       const password_valid = await bcrypt.compare(req.body.password,user.password);
          if(password_valid){
            token = JWT.sign({isLogin : true,"id" : user.id,"email" : user.email,"username": user.username},"12345678");
            res.status(200).json({token :token});
          } 
          else{
              res.status(400).json({isLogin : false, error: "password incorrect" });
          }
          } 
     else{
         res.status(404).json({isLogin : false, error :"User does not exist"});
          }
         });

CodePudding user response：

The user.js file that you provided is exporting a function that create the User class (and not actually the User model class)

Did you already init this class elsewhere and you are importing the wrong file ?
