This is my User model
'use strict';
var bcrypt = require('bcrypt');
module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) {
var User = sequelize.define('User', {
email: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
validate: {
isEmail: true,
notEmpty: true,
notNull: false
},
unique: true
},
password: DataTypes.STRING,
name: DataTypes.STRING,
username: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
unique: true
},
admin: DataTypes.BOOLEAN,
googleId: DataTypes.BOOLEAN
}, {
classMethods: {
associate: function(models) {
User.hasMany(models.Award);
User.hasMany(models.Media);
User.hasMany(models.Comment);
User.hasMany(models.Like);
User.hasMany(models.CheckIn);
}
}
});
return User;
};
and this is my Media model:
'use strict';
module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) {
var Media = sequelize.define('Media', {
type: DataTypes.ENUM('photo', 'video'),
description: DataTypes.STRING,
url: DataTypes.STRING,
gps: DataTypes.GEOMETRY('POINT')
}, {
classMethods: {
associate: function(models) {
//Media.belongsTo(models.Event);
//Media.belongsTo(models.User);
Media.hasMany(models.Comment);
Media.hasMany(models.Like);
}
}
});
return Media;
};
And I'm getting this error:
Unhandled rejection Error: Cyclic dependency found. Users is dependent of itself.
Dependency chain: Awards -> Users -> Media => Users
Previously I had a cyclic dependency and it's now removed but sequelize still throws this error. Why is this happening?
If I remove the User.hasMany(models.Media) association the error will disappear. But why is it still happening when the Media model has no reference to the User model?
ozgeneral :
Consider using hasMany as follows:\n\nUser.hasMany(models.Award, {as: 'ifYouWantAlias', constraints: false, allowNull:true, defaultValue:null});\n\n\nnote that you don't need the following part but it makes it clearer in my opinion.\n\nallowNull:true, defaultValue:null\n\n\nIt is explained well in here: http://docs.sequelizejs.com/en/latest/api/associations/",
