Data Field Type from Continuation Model

Question

Is it possible to get the data type of this field from the sequelize model. Suppose we have a module defined as follows:

User = sequelize.define 'User',
{
 id:
   type: DataTypes.UUID
   primaryKey: true
   defaultValue: DataTypes.UUIDV4
 firstName:
   type: DataTypes.STRING
   allowNull: false
 middleName:
   type: DataTypes.STRING
   allowNull: true
   defaultValue: null
 lastName:
   type: DataTypes.STRING
   allowNull: true
   defaultValue: null
}

I need to specify the data type for firstName. Is there any method in the model that can achieve this?

Answer 1

You can access it this way:

User.tableAttributes.firstName.type.constructor.key
