set unix timestamp to deleted_at field on soft delete actions

I’m trying to set deletedAt field with a custom unix timestamp other than the SequelizeJS default datetime format. I mapped the deletedAt field to my database field name using the model define.

const ProductsCategories = sequelize.define(
    'PRODUCTS_CATEGORIES',
    {
        id: {
            primaryKey: true,
            type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
            allowNull: true,
            autoIncrement: true
        },
        business_id: {
            type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
            allowNull: false
        },
        branch_id: {
            type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
            allowNull: false
        },
        title: {
            type: Sequelize.TEXT,
            allowNull: false
        },
        createdAt: { type: Sequelize.INTEGER, field: 'created_at' },
        updatedAt: { type: Sequelize.INTEGER, field: 'updated_at' },
        deletedAt: { type: Sequelize.INTEGER, field: 'deleted_at' }
    },
    {
        timestamps: true,
        underscored: true,
        paranoid: true,
        tableName: 'products_categories',
        hooks: {
            beforeCreate: (rec, opt) => {
                rec.dataValues.createdAt = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000)
                rec.dataValues.updatedAt = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000)
            },
            beforeUpdate: (rec, opt) => {
                console.log("INVOKED : beforeUpdate()")
                rec.dataValues.updatedAt = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000)
            },
            beforeDestroy: (instance, options) => {
                console.log('----------------------------------------------')
                console.log("INVOKED : beforeDestroy()")
                instance.dataValues.deletedAt = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000)
                console.log(instance.dataValues)
                console.log('----------------------------------------------')
            }
        }
    }
)

and now I’m trying to soft delete a single record using my Controller.

ProductsCategories.destroy({
    where: {
        id: { [Op.eq]: req.body.id }
    },
    individualHooks: true
})
.then(Response => {
    console.log('----------------------------------------------')
    console.log('----------------------PASS--------------------')
    console.log('----------------------------------------------')
})
.catch(e => {
    console.log('----------------------------------------------')
    console.log('---------------------ERROR--------------------')
    console.log( e )
    console.log('----------------------------------------------')
})

But above method is not working because Sequelize is failed to update deleted_at field in the database table & throw the following error.

DatabaseError [SequelizeDatabaseError]: Incorrect integer value: 'Sun Jul 07 2019 16:16:34 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)' for column `database_name`.`products_categories`.`deleted_at` at row 1

Seems like the beforeDestroy() hook is not working as expected. I also opened a stackoverflow question but seems like it’s a bug. 😢

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Define new model with beforeDestroy hook
2. Try to update deleted_at field with custom unix timestamp on beforeDestroy hook.

What do you expect to happen?

Sequelize to soft delete my record by adding unix timestamp to deleted_at field.

What is actually happening?

Sequelize produce a error saying that Incorrect integer value

The same behavior was noticed some time ago with instance destroy(): https://github.com/sequelize/sequelize/issues/9318 And it was fixed here: https://github.com/sequelize/sequelize/pull/9319 A follow up to refactor bulk destroy was mentioned in the PR but apparently never started.
