Pass a model to queryInterface.createTable

[Tyron199]

I have a folder with all my model definitions like this:
(Generated by sequelize-auto)

//items.js
  const Sequelize = require('sequelize');
  module.exports = function (sequelize, DataTypes) {
      return sequelize.define('items', {
          id: {
              autoIncrement: true,
              type: DataTypes.INTEGER,
              allowNull: false,
              primaryKey: true
          }
      })
  }

Would it be possible to require that model instance and then pass that to queryInterface.createTable instead of having to copy the definition.

Something like this

//00_init.js
const DataTypes = require("sequelize").DataTypes;
const sequelize = new Sequelize(conf.db.main_db, null, null, {});

const items = require("./items")(sequelize,DataTypes);
asynx function up({context: queryInterface}){
await  await queryInterface.createTable(items)
}

Yes, you should be able to do this. Is it not working?

@mmkal I just tried doing a similar thing, passing the model to queryInterface.createTable but it errors out.

createTable() needs a table name, there is no overload of this function that can accept a model
