Sequelize convert entity to plain object

Question

I m not very familiar with javascript  and stunning  because i can t add new property  to object  that fetched from database using ORM names Sequelize js   To avoid this  i use this hack   db Sensors findAll       where            nodeid  node nodeid          success function  sensors            var nodedata   JSON parse JSON stringify node       this is my trick         nodedata sensors   sensors          nodesensors push nodedata           response json nodesensors         So  what normally way to add new properties to object   If it can help  i use sequelize-postgres version 2 0 x   upd  console log node      dataValues        nodeid   NodeId        name   NameHere        altname   Test9        longname           latitude  30       longitude  -10       networkid   NetworkId        farmid   5        lastheard  Mon Dec 09 2013 04 04 40 GMT 0300  FET        id  9       createdAt  Tue Dec 03 2013 01 29 09 GMT 0300  FET        updatedAt  Sun Feb 23 2014 01 07 14 GMT 0300  FET         options        timestamps  true       createdAt   createdAt        updatedAt   updatedAt        deletedAt   deletedAt        touchedAt   touchedAt        instanceMethods           classMethods           validate           freezeTableName  false       underscored  false       syncOnAssociation  true       paranoid  false       whereCollection    farmid  5  networkid   NetworkId          schema  null       schemaDelimiter           language   en        defaultScope  null       scopes  null       hooks    beforeCreate      afterCreate             omitNull  false       hasPrimaryKeys  false      hasPrimaryKeys  false    selectedValues        nodeid   NodeId        name   NameHere        longname           latitude  30       longitude  -110       networkid   NetworkId        farmid   5        lastheard  Mon Dec 09 2013 04 04 40 GMT 0300  FET        id  9       createdAt  Tue Dec 03 2013 01 29 09 GMT 0300  FET        updatedAt  Sun Feb 23 2014 01 07 14 GMT 0300  FET        altname   Test9         eagerlyLoadedAssociations        isDirty  false    isNewRecord  false    daoFactoryName   Nodes     daoFactory        options           timestamps  true          createdAt   createdAt           updatedAt   updatedAt           deletedAt   deletedAt           touchedAt   touchedAt           instanceMethods              classMethods              validate              freezeTableName  false          underscored  false          syncOnAssociation  true          paranoid  false          whereCollection   Object           schema  null          schemaDelimiter              language   en           defaultScope  null          scopes  null          hooks   Object           omitNull  false          hasPrimaryKeys  false         name   Nodes        tableName   Nodes        rawAttributes           nodeid   Object           name   Object           altname   Object           longname   Object           latitude   Object           longitude   Object           networkid   Object           farmid   Object           lastheard   Object           id   Object           createdAt   Object           updatedAt   Object          daoFactoryManager    daos   Object   sequelize   Object          associations           scopeObj           primaryKeys           primaryKeyCount  0       hasPrimaryKeys  false       autoIncrementField   id        DAO     Function  super    Function          I think next  what you think will be   Ok  that is easy  just add your property to dataValues    node selectedValues sensors   sensors  node dataValues sensors   sensors    I add this lines  and this don t work

you can use map function  this is worked for me    db Sensors      findAll           where    nodeid  node nodeid                map el   gt  el get   plain  true          then  rows   gt           response json  rows

I have found a solution that works fine for nested model and array using native JavaScript functions   var results                  your result data returned from sequelize query var jsonString   JSON stringify results     convert to string to remove the sequelize specific meta data  var obj   JSON parse jsonString     to make plain json    do whatever you want to do with obj as plain json

You can also try this if you want to occur for all the queries  var sequelize   new Sequelize  database    username    password    query  raw true     Visit Setting all queries to raw   true sequelize

User · Answer

you can use the query options  raw  true  to return the raw result  Your query should like follows   db Sensors findAll     where        nodeid  node nodeid        raw  true       also if you have associations with include that gets flattened  So  we can use another parameter nest true  db Sensors findAll     where        nodeid  node nodeid        raw  true    nest  true

Best and the simple way of doing is    Just use the default way from Sequelize  db Sensors findAll       where            nodeid  node nodeid            raw   true     lt ----------- Magic is here    success function  sensors            console log sensors            Note    options raw       Return raw result  See sequelize query for more   information      For the nested result if we have include model   In latest version of sequlize     db Sensors findAll       where            nodeid  node nodeid            include               model   someModel             raw   true       lt ----------- Magic is here     nest   true     lt ----------- Magic is here    success function  sensors            console log sensors

For nested JSON plain text   db model findAll     raw   true     nest   true

As CharlesA notes in his answer   values   is technically deprecated  though this fact isn t explicitly noted in the docs   If you don t want to use   raw  true   in the query  the preferred approach is to call  get   on the results    get    however  is a method of an instance  not of an array  As noted in the linked issue above  Sequelize returns native arrays of instance objects  and the maintainers don t plan on changing that   so you have to iterate through the array yourself    db Sensors findAll       where            nodeid  node nodeid          success  sensors    gt        const nodeData   sensors map  node    gt  node get   plain  true

For those coming across this question more recently   values is deprecated as of Sequelize 3 0 0  Use  get   instead to get the plain javascript object  So the above code would change to   var nodedata   node get   plain  true       Sequelize docs here

If I get you right  you want to add the sensors collection to the node  If you have a mapping between both models you can either use the include functionality explained here or the values getter defined on every instance  You can find the docs for that here   The latter can be used like this   db Sensors findAll     where        nodeid  node nodeid        success function  sensors      var nodedata   node values     nodedata sensors   sensors map function sensor   return sensor values          or   nodedata sensors   sensors map function sensor   return sensor toJSON          nodesensors push nodedata     response json nodesensors         There is chance that nodedata sensors   sensors could work as well
