How can i access junction table in Sequelize? - node.js

Question

Good evenings,fine sirs. I am working with Sequelize with NodeJS. I created Many-to-many association between two table User and Project.
//This is Project Model
const { Model } = require("sequelize");
module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
class Project extends Model {
static associate(models) {
const { User, Issue } = models;
this.belongsToMany(User, {
as: "project_users",
foreignKey: "project_id",
through: "projectuser",
onDelete: "CASCADE",
onUpdate: "CASCADE",
});
this.hasMany(Issue, {
as: "project_issues",
foreignKey: "project_id",
onDelete: "CASCADE",
onUpdate: "CASCADE",
});
}
}
Project.init(
{
project_id: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER,
primaryKey: true,
autoIncrement: true,
allowNull: false,
},
projectname: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false,
},
description: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
},
projecturl: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
},
},
{
sequelize,
modelName: "Project",
}
);
return Project;
};
//This is User Model
const { Model } = require("sequelize");
module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
class User extends Model {
static associate(models) {
const { Commet, Project, Issue } = models;
this.hasMany(Commet, {
foreignKey: "user_id",
as: "user_commets",
onDelete: "CASCADE",
onUpdate: "CASCADE",
});
this.belongsToMany(Project, {
as: "project_user",
foreignKey: "user_id",
through: "projectuser",
onDelete: "CASCADE",
onUpdate: "CASCADE",
});
this.belongsToMany(Issue, {
as: "user_issues",
foreignKey: "user_id",
through: "issueuser",
onDelete: "CASCADE",
onUpdate: "CASCADE",
});
}
}
User.init(
{
user_id: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER,
primaryKey: true,
autoIncrement: true,
allowNull: false,
},
role: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false,
validate: {
roleValidator(role) {
let rolet = role.toLowerCase();
if (roles[rolet] === undefined) {
throw new Error("Invalid Role");
}
},
},
},
username: { type: DataTypes.STRING, allowNull: false },
usersurname: { type: DataTypes.STRING, allowNull: false },
avatarURL: { type: DataTypes.STRING, allowNull: true },
password: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
validate: {
passwordValidator(password) {
if (password.length <= 5) {
throw new Error("Cannot be less than 5 characters");
}
},
},
},
email: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
unique: true,
validate: { isEmail: true },
},
},
{
sequelize,
modelName: "User",
}
);
return User;
};
My question may be silly but, do i need to create junction table manually to access it from my code or is there any way to access it without creating it? Thank you for your answers.
