Sequelize only connecting with localhost

Question

I am integrating Sequelize with nodejs code and the following is my Sequelize configuration:

'use strict';

const Sequelize = require('sequelize');
const config = require('../config');

const sequelize = new Sequelize(config.mysql.database,
    config.mysql.username,
    config.mysql.password, {
        host: 'example.amazonaws.com',
        dialect: config.mysql.dialect,
        port: config.mysql.pool,
        pool: { max: config.mysql.pool.max, min: config.mysql.pool.min, acquire: 1000000, idle: 10000 }
    });
sequelize
    .authenticate()
    .then(() => {
        console.log('Connection has been established successfully.');
    })
    .catch(err => {
        debugger;
        console.error('Unable to connect to the database:', err);
    });

module.exports = sequelize

My config.js is looking like this:

module.exports = {
    postgres: {
        username: "root",
        password: "secret",
        database: "secret",
        host: "example.amazonaws.com",
        port: "5439",
        dialect: "pg",
        operatorsAliases: false,
        pool: {
            max: 5,
            min: 0,
            acquire: 30000,
            idle: 10000
        }
    },
    mysql: {
        username: "root",
        password: "secret",
        database: "secret",
        host: "example.amazonaws.com",
        port: "3306",
        dialect: "mysql",
        operatorsAliases: false,
        pool: {
            max: 20,
            min: 5,
            acquire: 30000,
            idle: 10000
        }
    }
}

But I am getting following error while connecting:-

I have checked everything but didn't find anything which is pointing to localhost. Even when I checked with configuration and that is also correct. But every time it is trying to localhost instead of rds.

I guess there is something wrong with mysql2 or the version of sequelize.

Answer 1

You can use URL string as well.

describe('Instantiation with a URL string', () => {
    it('should accept username, password, host, port, and database', () => {
      const sequelize = new Sequelize('mysql://user:pass@example.com:9821/dbname');
      const config = sequelize.config;
      const options = sequelize.options;

      expect(options.dialect).to.equal('mysql');

      expect(config.database).to.equal('dbname');
      expect(config.host).to.equal('example.com');
      expect(config.username).to.equal('user');
      expect(config.password).to.equal('pass');
      expect(config.port).to.equal('9821');
  });
});

for further configuration, details check unit test of sequelize.
