confidence/glue support about hapi-sequelize

You can just do;

let manifest = require('./config/manifest');

manifest.registrations.push({
  "plugin": {
    "register": "hapi-sequelize",
    "options": {
      "name": "name",
      "models": 'models/models/*.js',
      "sequelize": new Sequelize(db_string, {
      }),
      "sync": true,
      "forceSync": false
    }
  }
})

// Load the manifest and start the server

This loads the module correctly for me. hapi-sequelize v3.0.4 and glue 4.0.0

[danecando]

I'm vaguely familiar with glue. It sounds like there isn't much we can do about that besides going back to having the plugin manage building up the Sequelize instance during registration again. Is this the case or are there any work arounds?

[kenhowardpdx]

That's precisely the case, depending on hapi-sequelize to create the instance. What are the cons to having Sequelize be a core dependency?

[danecando]

That's how the plugin used to work before I did a complete rewrite (v3). Too tired to try and come up with a list of cons right now but my goal was to decouple Sequelize from the plugin and just make the plugin a lot simpler and more flexible overall.

I have no interest in going back to that at this moment but I will take a look at this issue later and weigh the options

[kenhowardpdx]

The work around is registering an internal plugin that in-turn registers hapi-sequelize.

./server/app-start/hapi-sequelize/index.js:

import database from '../../database';

export const register: any = function register(server, options, next) {
    server.register({
        register: require('hapi-sequelize'),
        options: [
            {
                name: 'db',
                models: ['./server/models/**/*.js'],
                sequelize: database,
                sync: true
            }
        ]
    });

    next();
};

register.attributes = {
    name: 'sequelize',
    version: '1.0.0'
};

./server/database/index.js:

// libs
import * as Sequelize from 'sequelize';

export default new Sequelize(process.env.DB_DATABASE, process.env.DB_USER, process.env.DB_PASSWORD, {
    host: process.env.DB_HOST,
    port: process.env.DB_PORT,
    dialect: process.env.DB_DIALECT,
    dialectOptions: {
        encrypt: true
    }
});

./server/manifest.js:

// libs
import {Store} from 'confidence';

let store: Store,
    manifest: any;

manifest = {
    $meta: 'server setup',
    connections: [...],
    registrations: [
        // Third Party Plugins
        ...
        {
            plugin: {
                register: './app-start/hapi-sequelize'
            }
        }
        ...
    ]
};

store = new Store(manifest);
