How to define relationship when models are defined in separate files?

Hi

I’m wondering what is the recommended way to define the relationship when the models are defined in separate files.

Assuming that I have a company model,

// models/Company.js
module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) {
  return sequelize.define('Company', {
  }
};

and a project model,

// models/Project.js
module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) {
  return sequelize.define('Project', {
  }
};

Then, I have an index.js that will read and import the above models,

// models/index.js
files.forEach(function(file) {
  sequelize.import(file);
});

// sequelize.models now contains Company and Project
// then define the relationship: a Company has many Projects
sequelize.models.Company.hasMany(sequelize.models.Project);

Is this the right way to define the relationships? I can imagine that there will be a lot of relationships defined in the same file when there are a lot of models.

module.exports = function(models) {
  // setup relations
};

@mjangir Please do basic debugging on your own before taking up other peoples time, it’s the polite thing to do 😃

Basic debugging includes checking if and why a method is or is not called, this is basic javascript, nothing Sequelize specific.
