"how to create mysql database with sequelize (nodejs)" Code Answer

short answer: sure you can!

here's how i got it done:

//create the sequelize instance, omitting the database-name arg
const sequelize = new sequelize("", "<db_user>", "<db_password>", {
  dialect: "<dialect>"
});

return sequelize.query("create database `<database_name>`;").then(data 
=> {
  // code to run after successful creation.
});

p.s. where to place code would depend on your need. inside an initial migration file worked for me.
