Using Sequelize CLI with the ESM package

Question

Is there a way to execute Sequelize migrations with the ESM package? It requires the -r esm command line argument to be passed, but I don't seem to find that in their docs

I had the same issue and the way I got around it is by calling sequelize-cli from the node_modules folder.
In my package.json
{
    "scripts": {
        "migrate": "node --require esm ./node_modules/.bin/sequelize-cli db:migrate"
    }
}

then if you run npm run migrate it should work with es6 imports.
