# Data Models
Data models represent tables in the database. Use Medusa's Data Model Language (DML) to define them.
## Property Types
```typescript
import { model } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"
const MyModel = model.define("my_model", {
// Primary key (required)
id: model.id().primaryKey(),
// Text
name: model.text(),
description: model.text().nullable(),
// Numbers
quantity: model.number(),
price: model.bigNumber(), // For high precision
// Boolean
is_active: model.boolean().default(true),
// Enum
status: model.enum(["draft", "published", "archived"]).default("draft"),
// Date/Time
published_at: model.dateTime().nullable(),
// JSON (for flexible data)
metadata: model.json().nullable(),
// Array
tags: model.array().nullable(),
})
```
## Property Modifiers
```typescript
model.text() // Required by default
model.text().nullable() // Allow null values
model.text().default("value") // Set default value
model.text().unique() // Unique constraint
model.text().primaryKey() // Set as primary key
```
## Relationships Within a Module
Define relationships between data models in the same module:
```typescript
// src/modules/blog/models/post.ts
import { model } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"
import { Comment } from "./comment"
export const Post = model.define("post", {
id: model.id().primaryKey(),
title: model.text(),
comments: model.hasMany(() => Comment, {
mappedBy: "post",
}),
})
// src/modules/blog/models/comment.ts
import { model } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"
import { Post } from "./post"
export const Comment = model.define("comment", {
id: model.id().primaryKey(),
content: model.text(),
post: model.belongsTo(() => Post, {
mappedBy: "comments",
}),
})
```
## Relationship Types
- `model.hasMany()` - One-to-many (post has many comments)
- `model.belongsTo()` - Many-to-one (comment belongs to post)
- `model.hasOne()` - One-to-one
- `model.manyToMany()` - Many-to-many
## Automatic Properties
Data models automatically include:
- `created_at` - Creation timestamp
- `updated_at` - Last update timestamp
- `deleted_at` - Soft delete timestamp
**Important**: Never add these properties explicitly to your model definitions.
## Generate and Run Migrations After Changes
After making changes to a data model, such as adding a property, you MUST generate migrations BEFORE running migrations:
```bash
npx medusa db:generate blog
npx medusa db:migrate
```
