Sequelize Integration

[smuralimohan]

Hi,

I am currently using ExpressJS with Sequelize ORM for my web app. I want to migrate to AdonisJs, but want to continue using Sequelize ,as I am reusing a lot of Sequelize Models in my client-side app as well.

Is there a provision to bypass Lucid and instead use Sequelize with AdonisJS?

Inputs appreciated.

Thank you,
Murali Mohan

Lucid does not come pre installed with AdonisJS. Just ignore it and use Sequelize like you will do it with any other Node app.

Awesome! Thanks Harminder.

I've read the Custom Adapter, but I'm a little confuse, I wanted to use Sequelize as well as the default ORM.
Do you guys have an example code as how to properly implement Sequelize into AdonisJS.

It would've better if AdonisJS itself would have an official Driver Support to Sequelize.

It would be better if you drop Sequelize and use Lucid. 😅

I'm actually coming from Laravel, my concern is, if Lucid is as powerful as Eloquent itself?

@RomainLanz btw, are you guys looking for more maintainers?

[skeeith]

Can we petition to have a 1st Party Driver support for Sequelize?

so we can just change the .env variable like mysql_driver=sequelize

Sequelize is an ORM and you can use it as you will use it with any other Node.js project. Just install the package, import it and use it
