Update your models' definition
Please be sure of your agent type and version and pick the right documentation accordingly.
This is the documentation of the forest-express-sequelize
and forest-express-mongoose
Node.js agents that will soon reach end-of-support.
forest-express-sequelize
v9 and forest-express-mongoose
v9 are replaced by @forestadmin/agent
v1.
Please check your agent type and version and read on or switch to the right documentation.
Update your models' definition
Your database schema will evolve over time. Any changes can (and probably should) be applied to your admin backend's models.
Now you can use the forest schema:update
command to achieve your goal.
This command is able to create all the missing file for a newly added table in your database. However it will not automatically modify existing files. So if you just added a new field inside an existing table, please just remove the corresponding model file inside your models folder and run the command.
Examples
In the following example, we added a new table customers
on an existing project. This is the output of the forest schema:update
command.
$ forest schema:update

In the next example we just removed a field from the previous added table. After removing the model file from the models folder. This is the output of the forest schema:update
command.
