When i need force sync?

[kulakowka]

I can not understand how works sync method.

I have read the documentation about it. But I do not understand anything. When I have to do the synchronization? Each time when i restart my application it will be deleted all the data from database.

Or should I synchronize only the first time when i run the application and the database table has not yet been created?

But what if the model schema changes? Do i have to synchronize again?

Maybe anyone can share a link to a tutorial and examples?

You don't need force sync. That was actually a bug in the generator. You should not have it in your code. If you see it in the docs please tell me where or do a PR and I will remove it.

I have not seen this in the documentation. It seems that I generated application using the old generator.

The latest version of generator adds this code in every model:

user.sync();

Why we do this for each model instead sequelize instance?

sequelize.sync()

@kulakowka I didn't know you could do that. Looks like you can do either one. The choice is yours... 😄

Yes thank you. I've already figured out.
