sequelize: Create a model with 3 fields and a migration file.
$ sequelize model:generate --name ${table_name} --attributes ${field1:integer,field2:string,field3:boolean}
try on your machine

This command is used in the context of Sequelize, a Node.js ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) that simplifies database operations. Sequelize has a command-line interface (CLI) that provides various commands to generate models, migrations, and seeders for database tables.

In this specific command:

sequelize model:generate --name ${table_name} --attributes ${field1:integer,field2:string,field3:boolean}
  • sequelize model:generate is the command to generate a new model (or table) in the defined Sequelize project.
  • --name ${table_name} specifies the name of the table to be generated. ${table_name} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual desired table name.
  • --attributes ${field1:integer,field2:string,field3:boolean} defines the attributes or fields of the table to be generated. ${field1:integer,field2:string,field3:boolean} is a placeholder and should be replaced with actual field names and their respective data types.

For example, if you want to create a table called Users with three fields, the command would look like this:

sequelize model:generate --name Users --attributes id:integer,name:string,active:boolean

This command will generate a new file in the project, commonly under a /models directory, representing the Users table, with the specified fields and their respective data types.
