How to get a distinct count with sequelize?

Question

I am trying to get a distinct count of a particular column using sequelize. My initial attempt is using the \'count\' method of my model, however it doesn\'t look like this is

With respect to your question in order to get the distinct counts of products based on the id of product

you just need to pass the key 'distinct' with value 'id' to your count object , Here is the example

To generate this sql query as you asked

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(`Product`.`id`)) as `count` 
FROM `Product` 
LEFT OUTER JOIN `Vendor` AS `vendor` ON `vendor`.`id` = `Product`.`vendorId` 
WHERE (`vendor`.`isEnabled`=true );

Add 'distinct' key in your Sequelize query

Product.count({
        include: [{model: models.Vendor, as: 'vendor'}],
        where: [{ 'vendor.isEnabled' : true }],
        distinct: 'id' // since count is applied on Product model and distinct is directly passed to its object so Product.id will be selected
    });

This way of using 'distinct' key to filter out distinct counts or rows , I tested in Sequelize Version 6.

Hope this will help you or somebody else!
