How can I return a sequelize instance asynchronously?

Question

I can\'t seem to properly pass the sequelize object from the service.js file to the index.js sequelize variable.

Does anything loo

Answer 1

await new Sequelize(...) in the code above expects that new Sequelize returns a promise, while this is not so. There is authenticate method that does that.

It should be:

exports.init = async () => {
    let sequelize = new Sequelize(...);
    await sequelize.authenticate();
    return sequelize;
};

Make sure promise rejections are always properly handled:

(async () => {
    sequelize = await lambdaHelper.init();
    contractModel = require('./models/Contract')(sequelize, Sequelize);
})().catch(console.error);
