TS error when tried to change createdAt, updatedAt columns type to something else

[Mohammad A. Apu]

Issue

I want to override createdAt columns type from Date to DateTime(from Luxon). When I went to declare that getting TS error.

TS2612: Property createdAt will overwrite the base property in Model<any, any>. If this is intentional, add an initializer. Otherwise, add a declare modifier or remove the redundant declaration.

Versions

• sequelize: 6.35.2,
• sequelize-typescript: 2.1.6
• typescript: 5.3.3

Issue type

• [x ] bug report
• feature request
