sequelize - inner join gives an error after added a foreign key - node.js

Question

i have these 2 models:
module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) {
return sequelize.define('services_prices', {
id: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER(11),
allowNull: false,
primaryKey: true
},
service_id: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER(11),
allowNull: true,
references: {
model: 'services',
key: 'id'
}
},
created_at: {
type: DataTypes.DATE,
allowNull: false
},
limit: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER(11),
allowNull: true
},
price: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER(11),
allowNull: true
}
});
};
which is parent of this model: (services_user_prices can override services_prices )
module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) {
return sequelize.define('services_user_prices', {
id: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER(11),
allowNull: false,
primaryKey: true,
autoIncrement: true
},
user_id: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER(11),
allowNull: true
},
created_at: {
type: DataTypes.DATE,
allowNull: false
},
currency: {
type: DataTypes.STRING(255),
allowNull: true
},
is_active: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER(1),
allowNull: true,
defaultValue: '0'
},
is_trial: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER(1),
allowNull: true,
defaultValue: '0'
},
start_date: {
type: DataTypes.DATE,
allowNull: false
},
end_date: {
type: DataTypes.DATE,
allowNull: true
},
price: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER(11),
allowNull: true
},
bundle_price_id: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER(11),
allowNull: true,
references: {
model: 'services_prices',
key: 'id'
}
}
});
};
when trying to join them i get an error:
EagerLoadingError: services_prices is not associated to services_user_prices!
const result= await db.services_user_prices.findOne({
where: { is_active: 1, user_id: 123 }, include:[{db.services_prices}]
});
in the db services_user_prices has foreign key to services_prices table
what am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

Well if you are using sequelize then you need to update your model because
by default, sequelize will be looking for foreign key starts with model name like
you have defined bundle_price_id as a foreign key for services_prices.
You need to change your column name to services_price_id then it will get fixed.
or if you want to use bundle_price_id you need to define it in your model relation as.
Model.belongsTo(models.ModelName, { foreignKey: 'your_key'} )
Please feel free if you need to ask anything else.

Answer 2

As complement of the above answer you need to add an identifier with as: on the association like this:
Model.belongsTo(models.ModelName, { foreignKey: 'your_key', as:'your_identifier' } )
Then when you do the include on the method you also call the identifier:
await db.services_user_prices.findOne({
where: { is_active: 1, user_id: 123 },
include:[{
model: db.services_prices
as: 'your_identifier'
}]
});
If you don't define the foreignKey field, the as field will set the column name.
