Sequelize Create Database

Question

Is there a way to have sequelize create the database I\'m trying to connect to if it doesn\'t exist?

I have a raw MySQL instance and I get this error back:

Answer 1

In my case I was using sqlite, but the idea was the same. I needed to create the database first with sqlite3.

const sqlite = require('sqlite3');
const db = new sqlite.Database('/path/to/database.sqlite');
const sequelize = new Sequelize('database', '', '', {
  dialect: 'sqlite',
  storage: '/path/to/database.sqlite',
  ...
});
