Sequelize CLI

The Sequelize CLI is the official command-line interface for the Sequelize ORM, providing essential tools for managing Sequelize projects. It is currently stable at version 6.6.5, with minor releases and bug fixes occurring every few months, demonstrating active maintenance. The CLI facilitates common database operations such as creating and dropping databases, managing schema migrations (applying, reverting, checking status), generating and running seed files for initial data population, and scaffolding new models, migrations, and seeders. Its key differentiator is its tight integration with the Sequelize ORM, making it the de facto tool for many Sequelize workflows, especially for projects utilizing its migration system. It supports both CommonJS and ESM configuration files, and since v6.2.0, allows for TypeScript migration files, adapting to modern JavaScript ecosystems.
