Misc

Compatibility

Sequelize is compatible to the following versions of Node.JS:

  • 0.8.x
  • 0.10.x

Asynchronicity

Sincev1.3.0there are multiple ways of adding listeners to asynchronous requests. First of all, each time you call a finder method or save an object, sequelize triggers asynchronous logic. To react to the success or the failure (or both) of the request, you can do the following:

// the old, pre-v1.3.0 way
Model.findAll().on('success', function(models) { /* foo */ })
Model.findAll().on('failure', function(err) { /* bar */ })
 
// the new, >=v1.3.0 way
// each one is valid
Model.findAll().on('success', function(models) { /* foo */ })
Model.findAll().success(function(models) { /* foo */ })
Model.findAll().ok(function(models) { /* foo */ })
 
// Model.findAll().on('failure', function(err) { /* bar */ }) ==> invalid since v1.5.0
Model.findAll().on('error', function(err) { /* bar */ }) //   ==> new since v1.5.0
Model.findAll().error(function(err) { /* bar */ })
Model.findAll().failure(function(err) { /* bar */ })
Model.findAll().fail(function(err) { /* bar */ })
 
Model.findAll().complete(function(err, result) { /* bar */ })
Model.findAll().done(function(err, result) { /* bar */ })
 
// As of 1.7.0 we support Promises/A
var self = User
 
user.find(1).then(function(user1) {
  return user1.increment(['aNumber'], 2)
}).then(function(user2) {
  return user.find(1)
}).then(function(user3) {
  console.log(user3.aNumber) // 2
}, function(err) {
  // err...
})

Please notice:Since v1.5.0 the 'error' event is used to notify about errors. If such events aren't caught however, Node.JS will throw an error. So you would probably like to catch them :D
