Upgrading to v6

Before upgrading to v6, consider the below breaking changes.
As for any dependency upgrade, it’s very important to test this upgrade in your testing environments. Not doing so could result in your admin panel being unusable.
To upgrade to v6, simply run: 
npm install forest-express-sequelize@^6.0.0
In case of a regression introduced in Production after the upgrade, a rollback to your previous agent is the fastest way to restore your admin panel.

Breaking changes

​
Agent initialization

The agent initialization now returns a promise. This solves an issue wherein exposed agents were not yet initialized and thus returning 404s. You must update the following 2 files: 
// BEFORE
module.exports = function (app) {
  app.use(Liana.init({

// AFTER
module.exports = async function (app) {
  app.use(await Liana.init({

// BEFORE
resolve: Module => new Module(app),

// AFTER
resolve: Module => Module(app),

​
Select all feature

This version also introduces the new Select all behavior. Once you’ve updated your bulk Smart Actions according to the below changes, you’ll be able to choose between selecting all the records or only those displayed on the current page. 
// BEFORE
router.post('/actions/mark-as-live', permissionMiddlewareCreator.smartAction(), (req, res) => {
  let companyId = req.body.data.attributes.ids[0];

  return companies
    .update({ status: 'live' }, { where: { id: companyId \}\})
    .then(() => {
      res.send({ success: 'Company is now live!' });
    });
});

// AFTER
import { RecordsGetter } from "forest-express-sequelize";

...

router.post('/actions/mark-as-live', permissionMiddlewareCreator.smartAction(), (req, res) => {
  return new RecordsGetter(companies).getIdsFromRequest(req)
    .then((companyIds) => {
      return companies
        .update({ status: 'live' }, { where: { id: companyIds \}\})
        .then(() => {
          res.send({ success: 'Company is now live!' });
        });
    });
});
If you altered the default DELETE behavior by overriding or extending it, you’ll have to do so as well with the new BULK DELETE route.
