Postgres/Sequelize — returns a string for decimal/numeric type

I am not very familiar with postgres and sequelize and just realized that it would return the decimal/numeric type as string in the code.

Here I found a work around to make it returns as string in the code base, and it worked well for me.

Make this change in the model.

Do this

@Column
get price(): number {
  return parseFloat(`${this.getDataValue('price')}`);
}

set price(value: number) {
  this.setDataValue('price', value);
}

instead of

@Column
price: number

Please leaves comments if anyone know other better ways to handle this.
