How to use an include with attributes with Node.js Sequelize?

To use an include with attributes with Node.js Sequelize, we can set the include.attributes property.

For instance, we write

Payment.findAll({
  where: {
    id
  },
  attributes: {
    exclude: ['createdAt', 'updatedAt']
  },
  include: {
    model: Customer,
    attributes: ['customerName', 'phoneNumber']
  }
})

to call findAll with an object that has the include property.

We set include.model to Customer to include Customer entries associated with Payment.

And we return the customerName and phoneNumber columns from the associated Customer.
