Custom getter not being called properly.

I have the following model set up in sequelize:

import uid from 'uid-safe';

export default (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
  const Model = sequelize.define(
    'location',
    {
      id: {
        type: DataTypes.STRING,
        defaultValue: () => `loc_${uid.sync(6)}`,
        primaryKey: true
      },
      coordinates: {
        type: DataTypes.GEOMETRY('POINT'),
        get() {
          const value = this.getDataValue('coordinates');
          return value === null ? null : value.coordinates;
        },
        set(value) {
          if (value === null) {
            this.setDataValue('coordinates', null);
          } else {
            this.setDataValue('coordinates', {
              type: 'Point',
              coordinates: value
            });
          }
        },
        validations: {
          isCoordinateArray: value => {
            if (!Array.isArray(value) || value.length !== 2) {
              throw new Error('Must be an array with 2 elements');
            }
          }
        }
      },
    }
  );
  return Model;
};

Now every thing works fine when I create a record.

// request
{
	"postcode": "XYZ",
	"coordinates": [-75.343, 39.984]
}
 
// response
{
	"coordinates": [
		-75.343,
		39.984
	],
	"id": "loc_Eeksy8q8",
	"postcode": "XYZ",
}

But when I look at the response on a get or find method the custom getter doesn’t get called and I see this instead:

{
	"coordinates": {
		"type": "Point",
		"coordinates": [
			-75.343,
			39.984
		]
	},
	"id": "loc_Eeksy8q8",
	"postcode": "XYZ",
}

Setting raw: false in the service options should solve your issue.

@zusamann - I can confirm. By default, we set raw: true because 1) it’s more efficient - way less processing overhead, and 2) it allows feathers-sequelize to work with common hooks and other 3rd party integrations out of the box. If you are needing something which is specific to sequelize (such as getters and setters), you will indeed need to follow this part of the guide. I just submitted a PR to update the guides and make this more prevalent.
