Sequelize exclude belongs-to-many mapping object

Question

Is there a way when making a SequelizeJS query on an object, and including a relation which has a belongs-to-many association, to have the included property not return the assoc

Answer 1

You can try specifying the attributes property.

So to include fields say a,b,c you add

attributes: ['a', 'b','c']

To exclude them

attributes:{exclude:['a', 'b','c']}

So findAll looks like

Model.someModel.findAll({
  where: // some condition
  include: // some other model
  attributes: // some fields
})

You can also specify attributes within the include clause
