Sequelize: don’t return password

May 9, 2023 by Tarik

Another way is to add a default scope to the User model.

Add this in the model’s options object

defaultScope: {
  attributes: { exclude: ['password'] },
}

Or you can create a separate scope to use it only in certain queries.

Add this in the model’s options object

scopes: {
  withoutPassword: {
    attributes: { exclude: ['password'] },
  }
}

Then you can use it in queries

User.scope('withoutPassword').findAll();
