Synchronize database

Before creating our models, we need to both link and synchronize them to our database.

Link models

Linking our models is very straight-forward. Use db.link with every model you have created:

const db = new Database(...);

// Put or import your models before linking them
class Business extends Model { ... }

db.link([Business]);

In case of pivot models created with Relationships.manyToMany, it is good practice to put them first:

const BusinessOwner = Relationships.manyToMany(Business, Owner);

db.link([BusinessOwner, Business, Owner]);

Synchronizing your models means making sure your models are available in the provided database. If they do not exist, synchronizing will create them.

db.sync();

Some of these tables might have values already and so you might want to drop them:

db.sync({ drop: true });

This will drop every model previously put into db.link(models).
