NodeJS Sequelize and FindAll with Include and constraints

I am trying to use the Include capabilities in the Find all to Eager load the data i need in a single query. My issue is that all the includes are LEFT OUTER JOIN ... which is good but i am not seeing a way to add additional constraints to that LEFT OUTER JOIN.

My query would look something like:

Matches.findAll(
   {where: ["match.isPublished = ?", true], 
    include: [RoundMaps, 
              Locations, 
              {model: MemberMaps, as: "MemberMaps", where: ["memberMaps.memberUUID = ?", authenticatedUser.uuid]}]})

But this does not seem to be supported ... at least the way i have the syntax written. I cannot add that constraint to the constraints on the LEFT OUTER JOIN ... adding the same constraint to the WHERE clause does not work ... as that gives me only the Matches that the Member is associated with. I want the list of all public Matches and to know which of those that the member has already established an association.

Can it be done? Sequelize seems to be getting most things done! But still struggling with some things.

Insights welcome!

Cheers

There is an option on INCLUDE that specifies whether the join will be inner or outer: include.require = boolean

When there isn't a where: clause specified, then it defaults to false. But, it gets set to true when a where: is set.

You can explicitly turn that off to fetch all of the results of the findAll().

Unfortunately, the only examples I've seen of this are in the codebase itself, but here it is: sequelize/test/integration/associations/belongs-to-many.test.js#L167

According to your question this is not possible using where clause with LEFT OUTER JOIN. For this you have to write SQL queries to list of all public Matches and to know which of those that the member has already established an association.

sequelize.query('SELECT * FROM "Matches" LEFT OUTER JOIN "RoundMaps" ON "Matches".id = "RoundMaps".match_id LEFT OUTER JOIN "Locations" ON "Matches".id = "Locations".match_id    LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT * FROM "MemberMaps" WHERE "MemberMaps".memberUUID = ?) AS "MemberMaps" ON "Matches".id = "MemberMaps".match_id WHERE "Matches".isPublished = ?', null, { raw: true }, [memberUUID,true ]).success(function(myTableRows) {
console.log(myTableRows);
res.send(myTableRows);
});
