Sequelize - update record, and return result

Update function of sequelize returns a number of affected rows (first parameter of result array).

You should call find to get updated row

models.People.update({OwnerId: peopleInfo.newuser},
    {where: {id: peopleInfo.scenario.id}})
    .then(() => {return models.People.findById(peopleInfo.scenario.id)})
    .then((user) => response(user).code(200))
    .catch((err) => {
         request.server.log(['error'], err.stack);
      });

You can just find the item and update its properties and then save it. The save() results in a UPDATE query to the db

const job = await Job.findOne({where: {id, ownerId: req.user.id}});
if (!job) {
    throw Error(`Job not updated. id: ${id}`);
}

job.name = input.name;
job.payload = input.payload;
await job.save();

On Postgres:

Executing (default): UPDATE "jobs" SET "payload"=$1,"updatedAt"=$2 WHERE "id" = $3

Finally i got it. returning true wont work in mysql , we have to use findByPk in order hope this code will help.

       return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
User.update({
        subject: params.firstName, body: params.lastName, status: params.status
    },{
        returning:true,
        where: {id:id }                             
    }).then(function(){
        let response = User.findById(params.userId);                      
        resolve(response);
    }); 

});

Here's what I think you're looking for.

db.connections.update({
  user: data.username,
  chatroomID: data.chatroomID
}, {
  where: { socketID: socket.id },
  returning: true,
  plain: true
})
.then(function (result) {
  console.log(result);   
  // result = [x] or [x, y]
  // [x] if you're not using Postgres
  // [x, y] if you are using Postgres
});

From Sequelize docs: The promise returns an array with one or two elements. The first element x is always the number of affected rows, while the second element y is the actual affected rows (only supported in postgres with options.returning set to true.)

Assuming you are using Postgres, you can access the updated object with result[1].dataValues.

You must set returning: true option to tell Sequelize to return the object. And plain: true is just to return the object itself and not the other messy meta data that might not be useful.
