Using Sequelize CLI with the ESM package

Question

Is there a way to execute Sequelize migrations with the ESM package? It requires the -r esm command line argument to be passed, but I don't seem to find that in their docs

I had the same issue and the way I got around it is by calling sequelize-cli from the node_modules folder.

In my package.json

{
    "scripts": {
        "migrate": "node --require esm ./node_modules/.bin/sequelize-cli db:migrate"
    }
}

then if you run npm run migrate it should work with es6 imports.

Do you need to run that build script everytime before you run the npm run migrate?

@dmikester1 my apologies, I copied that over from an old project and forgot to change the name of the script. In this situation the migrate script is what I was referring to in the build script.
