How to implement search feature using SequelizeJS?

Question

I have a Ticket model and a Comment model. The Ticket has a hasMany relationship to Comment model. I want to search tickets by a keyword. The keyword will be matched againts

Answer 1

const { Op } = require("sequelize");

var options = {
  where: {
    [Op.or]: [
      { 'subject': { [Op.like]: '%' + query + '%' } },
      { '$Comment.body$': { [Op.like]: '%' + query + '%' } }
    ]
  },
  include: [{ model: Comment }]
};

Op.iLike can be used for case-insensitive search.

Answer 2

Probably a bit too late for you, but for anyone else; #3095 was updated with a bit of a solution:

var options = {
  where: {
    $or: [
      { 'subject': { like: '%' + query + '%' } },
      { '$Comment.body$': { like: '%' + query + '%' } }
    ]
  },
  include: [{ model: Comment }]
};

The trick is in those dollar signs, though there are still problems with this solution when limit is set or when querying with findAndCountAll().
