How to make Sequelize use singular table names

Question

I have an model called User but Sequelize looks for the table USERS whenever I am trying to save in the DB. Does anyone know how to set Sequelize to use singular table names? Thanks.

Answer 1

The docs state that you can use the property freezeTableName.

Please take a look at this example:

var Bar = sequelize.define('Bar', { /* bla */ }, {
  // don't add the timestamp attributes (updatedAt, createdAt)
  timestamps: false,

  // don't delete database entries but set the newly added attribute deletedAt
  // to the current date (when deletion was done). paranoid will only work if
  // timestamps are enabled
  paranoid: true,

  // don't use camelcase for automatically added attributes but underscore style
  // so updatedAt will be updated_at
  underscored: true,

  // disable the modification of tablenames; By default, sequelize will automatically
  // transform all passed model names (first parameter of define) into plural.
  // if you don't want that, set the following
  freezeTableName: true,

  // define the table's name
  tableName: 'my_very_custom_table_name'
})
