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

I ended up using the mysql2 package, here is what I did..

const mysql = require('mysql2/promise');

mysql.createConnection({
    user     : config.sequelize.username,
    password : config.sequelize.password
}).then(() => {
    connection.query('CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS myRandomDb;').then(() => {
        // Safe to use sequelize now
    })
})

After that I can connect to that database using sequelize.
