Issue Description

Hello everyone. Can anyone help me? Getting this error sequelize doesn’t generate tabtracker.sqlite for me. ` db[model.name] = model ^

TypeError: Cannot read property ‘name’ of undefined at fs.readdirSync.filter.forEach (C:\Users\HyChhayrith\Documents\Code\github\webappWithFreecodecamp\server\src\models\index.js:16:18) at Array.forEach () at Object.

Below is my code `fs.readdirSync(__dirname).filter((file) => file !== ‘index.js’).forEach((file) => { const model = sequelize.import(path.join(__dirname, file)) db[model.name] = model })

db.sequelize = sequelize; db.Sequelize = Sequelize;`

module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
  const User = sequelize.define('User', {
    email: {
      type: DataTypes.STRING,
      unique: true
    },
    password: DataTypes.STRING
  });
  return User;
}

The above code helped me.

The answer provided by shashankshandilyav helped me. I wasn’t returning User.
