Sequelize JSON data type

Question

I have defined a model as

module.exports = function (sequelize, DataTypes) {
  const MyModel = sequelize.define(\'MyModel\', {
    data: {
      type: DataTypes         


        

Answer 1

JSON data types aren't supported for MySQL.

See the docs here http://docs.sequelizejs.com/en/v3/docs/models-definition/#data-types

A work around could be to use text and stringify/parse when querying it
