Sequelize: $like though multiple included models - where-clause

Question

We have an endpoint in API which filters and return events.
event has following relations:
eventModel
audioModel
deviceModel
userModel
Which means that event is associated to one audio and one user, audio is associated to one device.
This is a shortened code snippet from the endpoint which filters events:
eventModel.findAndCountAll({
where: { /*...*/ },
include: [{
model: audioModel,
attributes: ['guid', 'measured_at'],
where: { /*...*/ },
include: [{
model: deviceModel,
attributes: ['guid', 'shortname'],
where: { /*...*/ },
}]
},
{
model: userModel,
attributes: ['guid', 'firstname', 'lastname', 'email'],
where: { /*...*/ },
},
]
});
Every model has where attribute which filter out items by dates, Nulls and some other stuff. I've cut, because it's not important in my case.
What I need is to add a search attribute which will filter events by multiple nested attributes:
eventModel.guid $like search OR
deviceModel.guid $like search OR
deviceModel.shortname $like search OR
userModel.firstname $like search OR
userModel.lastname $like search
My problem is that I cannot put $like into each where attribute inside included models, because in that case condition will work as AND but not OR.
Is there any way to implement such stuff without migrating to raw query?

Answer 1

There is a way to do that without using the RAW query. Find below :
var condition = " eventModel.guid like '%"+searck_keyword+"%' ";
condition += " OR deviceModel.guid like '%"+searck_keyword+"%' "
condition += " OR deviceModel.shortname like '%"+searck_keyword+"%' "
condition += " OR userModel.firstname like '%"+searck_keyword+"%' "
condition += " OR userModel.lastname like '%"+searck_keyword+"%' "
and pass the condition in where like where: [condition] and removed the where of all included models
