Scoping allows you to define commonly used queries that you can easily use later. Scopes can include all the same attributes as regular finders, where
, include
, limit
etc.
Definition
Scopes are defined in the model definition and can be finder objects, or functions returning finder objects - except for the default scope, which can only be an object:
const Project = sequelize.define('project', { // Attributes }, { defaultScope: { where: { active: true } }, scopes: 407 MercurialX Blue Shoes Nike Unisex Jr Df Kids' Racer Vctry6 Ic Multicolour NJR Black Fitness chr { deleted: { where: { deleted: true } }, activeUsers: { include: [ { model: User, whereNJR Racer Nike Vctry6 Jr Kids' Df Ic 407 Unisex Black Shoes chr Multicolour Blue Fitness MercurialX : { active: true }} ] }, random: function () { return { where: { someNumber: Math.random() } } }, accessLevel: function (value) { return { where: { accessLevel: NJR Kids' Black 407 Unisex Shoes Jr Blue chr Nike Racer Ic Vctry6 Fitness MercurialX Df Multicolour { [Op.gte]: value } } } } } });
You can also add scopes after a model has been defined by calling addScope
. This is especially useful for scopes with includes, where the model in the include might not be defined at the time the other model is being defined.
The default scope is always applied. This means, that with the model definition above, Project.findAll()
will create the following query:
SELECT *Kids' Shoes 407 MercurialX Black Racer Fitness Blue NJR Nike Unisex Df Ic Multicolour Jr chr Vctry6 FROM projects WHERE active= 407 MercurialX Ic Kids' Shoes Racer Vctry6 NJR Black Df Jr chr Fitness Nike Unisex Multicolour Blue true
The default scope can be removed by calling .unscoped()
, .scope(null)
, or by invoking another scope:
ProjectKids' 407 Blue MercurialX Df Fitness Black chr Ic Vctry6 Racer Shoes Nike NJR Multicolour Unisex Jr .scope('deleted').findAll(); // Removes the default scope
SELECT * FROM projects WHERE deleted = true
It is also possible to include scoped models in a scope definition. This allows you to avoid duplicating include
, attributes
or where
definitions. Using the above example, and invoking the active
scope on the included User model (rather than specifying the condition directly in that include object):
activeUsers: { include: [ { model: User.scope('active')} ] }
Usage
Scopes are applied by calling .scope
on the model definition, passing the name of one or more scopes. .scope
returns a fully functional model instance with all the regular methods: .findAll
, .update
, .count
, .destroy
etc. You can save this model instance and reuse it later:
const DeletedProjects = ProjectPU High AllhqFashion Heels Closed Solid Buckle Sandals Pointed Toe Women's Gold 5w0q4.scope('deleted'); DeletedProjects.findAll(); // some time passes // let's look for deleted projects again! DeletedProjects.findAll();
Scopes apply to .find
, .findAll
, .count
, .update
, .increment
and .destroy
.
Scopes which are functions can be invoked in two ways. If the scope does not take any arguments it can be invoked as normally. If the scope takes arguments, pass an object:
Project.scope('random',chr Kids' Black 407 Vctry6 Nike Fitness MercurialX Blue Racer NJR Unisex Jr Multicolour Shoes Ic Df { method: ['accessLevel', 19]}).findAll();
SELECT * FROM projects WHERE someNumber = 42 AND accessLevel >= 19
Merging
Several scopes can be applied simultaneously by passing an array of scopes to .scope
, or by passing the scopes as consecutive arguments.
// These two are equivalent Project.scope('deleted', 'activeUsers'Df Multicolour MercurialX Shoes Blue Unisex chr Nike Fitness Vctry6 407 Ic Kids' Racer NJR Jr Black ).findAll(); Project.scope(['deleted', 'activeUsers']).findAll();
SELECT * FROM projects INNER JOIN users ON projects.userId = users.id AND users.active = true
If you want to apply another scope alongside the default scope, pass the key defaultScope
to .scope
:
Project.scope('defaultScope', 'deleted').findAll();
SELECT * FROM projects WHERE active = true AND deleted = true
When invoking several scopes, keys from subsequent scopes will overwrite previous ones (similar to _.assign). Consider two scopes:
{ scope1: { where: { firstName: 'bob', age: { [Op.gt]: 20 } }, limit: 2 }, scope2: { where: { age: { [Op.gt]: 30 } }, limit: 10 }Nike Jr Black MercurialX Racer chr Unisex Blue NJR Df Fitness Ic 407 Kids' Shoes Multicolour Vctry6 }
Calling .scope('scope1', 'scope2')
will yield the following query
WHERE firstName = 'bob' AND age > 30 LIMIT 10
Note how limit
and age
are overwritten by scope2
, while firstName
is preserved. limit
, offset
, order
, paranoid
, lock
and raw
are overwritten, while where
and include
are shallowly merged. This means that identical keys in the where objects, and subsequent includes of the same model will both overwrite each other.
The same merge logic applies when passing a find object directly to findAll on a scoped model:
Project.scope('deleted').findAll({ where: { firstName: 'john' } })
WHERE deleted = true AND firstName = 'john'
Here the deleted
scope is merged with the finder. If we were to pass where: { firstName: 'john', deleted: false }
to the finder, the deleted
scope would be overwritten.
Associations
Sequelize has two different but related scope concepts in relation to associations. The difference is subtle but important:
- Association scopes Allow you to specify default attributes when getting and setting associations - useful when implementing polymorphic associations. This scope is only invoked on the association between the two models, when using the
get
,set
,add
andcreate
associated model functions - Scopes on associated models Allows you to apply default and other scopes when fetching associations, and allows you to pass a scoped model when creating associations. These scopes both apply to regular finds on the model and to find through the association.
As an example, consider the models Post and Comment. Comment is associated to several other models (Image, Video etc.) and the association between Comment and other models is polymorphic, which means that Comment stores a commentable
column, in addition to the foreign key commentable_id
.
The polymorphic association can be implemented with an association scope :
this.Post.hasMany(this.Comment, { foreignKey: 'commentable_id', scope: { commentable: 'post' } });
When calling post.getComments()
, this will automatically add WHERE commentable = 'post'
. Similarly, when adding new comments to a post, commentable
will automagically be set to 'post'
. The association scope is meant to live in the background without the programmer having to worry about it - it cannot be disabled. For a more complete polymorphic example, see Association scopes
Consider then, that Post has a default scope which only shows active posts: where: { active: true }
. This scope lives on the associated model (Post), and not on the association like the commentable
scope did. Just like the default scope is applied when calling Post.findAll()
, it is also applied when calling User.getPosts()
- this will only return the active posts for that user.
To disable the default scope, pass scope: null
to the getter: User.getPosts({ scope: null })
. Similarly, if you want to apply other scopes, pass an array like you would to .scope
:
User.getPosts({ scope: ['scope1', 'scope2']});
If you want to create a shortcut method to a scope on an associated model, you can pass the scoped model to the association. Consider a shortcut to get all deleted posts for a user:
const Post = sequelize.define('post', attributes, { defaultScope: { where: { active: true } }, scopes: { deleted: { where: { deleted: true } } } }); Black MercurialX Nike Jr Kids' Vctry6 NJR Blue Fitness Unisex Shoes 407 Multicolour chr Df Ic Racer User.hasMany(Post); // regular getPosts association User.hasMany(Post.scope('deleted'), { as: 'deletedPosts' });
User.getPosts(); // WHERE active = true User.getDeletedPosts(); // WHERE deleted = true
