Example use of feathers-sequelize object hydration

messages.hooks.js

const hydrate = require('feathers-sequelize/hooks/hydrate');

function includePoster() {
    return function (hook) {
      const model = hook.app.service('users').Model;
      const association = { include: [{ model: model, as: 'poster', attributes: ['userId', 'displayName', 'avatar'] }] };

      switch (hook.type) {
        case 'before':
          hook.params.sequelize = Object.assign(association, { raw: false });
          return Promise.resolve(hook);          
          break;

        case 'after':
          hydrate( association ).call(this, hook);          
          break;
      }
    }
}

module.exports = {
  before: {
    all: [ includePoster() ],
    ...
  },
  after: {
    all: [ includePoster() ],
    ...
  },
  error {
    ...
  }
};

Isn't hydrate in the after hook redundant by having { raw: false } in the before hook? Or did you perhaps mean to dehydrate in the after hook instead?

hello, I have used your code and it works nice but I have a question.
I have a Model that has many hasMany models like this:
Model1 hasMany Model2
Model1 hasMany Model3
Model1 hasMany Model4
Model3 hasMany Model4
Model1 hasMany Model5

So, when I add multiple hooks it only includes the last hook included.

My question, how do I choose only one of the hasMany models associated to Model1? And how do I include the cascade models like Model3 has?
And, of course, how to query/filtrate the associated included to only select the desired records?
