In this chapter, youll learn how to define indices on a data model.
## Define Index on Property
Use the `index` method on a property's definition to define an index.
For example:
export const highlights = [
["5", "index", "Define an index on the `name` property."],
["6", '"IDX_MY_CUSTOM_NAME"', "Index name is optional."]
]
```ts highlights={highlights}
import { model } from "@medusajs/utils"
const MyCustom = model.define("my_custom", {
id: model.id().primaryKey(),
name: model.text().index(
"IDX_MY_CUSTOM_NAME"
),
})
export default MyCustom
```
The `index` method optionally accepts the name of the index as a parameter.
In this example, you define an index on the `name` property.

## Define Index on Data Model
A data model has an `indexes` method that defines indices on its properties.
The index can be on multiple columns (composite index). For example:
export const dataModelIndexHighlights = [
["7", "indexes", "Define indices on the data model's properties."],
["9", "on", "Specify the properties to define the index on."]
]
```ts highlights={dataModelIndexHighlights}
import { model } from "@medusajs/utils"
const MyCustom = model.define("my_custom", {
id: model.id().primaryKey(),
name: model.text(),
age: model.number(),
}).indexes([
{
on: ["name", "age"],
},
])
export default MyCustom
```
The `indexes` method receives an array of indices as a parameter. Each index is an object with a required `on` property indicating the properties to apply the index on.
In the above example, you define a composite index on the `name` and `age` properties.
### Index Conditions
An index can have conditions. For example:
export const conditionHighlights = [
["10", "where", "Specify conditions on properties."],
["11", "", "Create the index when `age` is `30`."]
]
```ts highlights={conditionHighlights}
import { model } from "@medusajs/utils"
const MyCustom = model.define("my_custom", {
id: model.id().primaryKey(),
name: model.text(),
age: model.number(),
}).indexes([
{
on: ["name", "age"],
where: {
age: 30,
},
},
])
export default MyCustom
```
The index object passed to `indexes` accepts a `where` property that is an object of conditions. The object's key is a property's name, and its value is the condition on that property.
In the example above, the composite index is created on the `name` and `age` properties when the `age`'s value is `30`.
A property's condition can be a negation. For example:
export const negationHighlights = [
["12", "", "Create the index when `age` is not `null`."]
]
```ts highlights={negationHighlights}
import { model } from "@medusajs/utils"
const MyCustom = model.define("my_custom", {
id: model.id().primaryKey(),
name: model.text(),
age: model.number().nullable(),
}).indexes([
{
on: ["name", "age"],
where: {
age: {
$ne: null,
},
},
},
])
export default MyCustom
```
A property's value in `where` can be an object having a `$ne` property. `$ne`'s value indicates what the specified property's value shouldn't be.
In the example above, the composite index is created on the `name` and `age` properties when `age`'s value is not `null`.
### Unique Data Model Index
The object passed to `indexes` accepts a `unique` property indicating that the created index must be a unique index.
For example:
export const uniqueHighlights = [
["10", "unique", "Specify if the index is a unique index."]
]
```ts highlights={uniqueHighlights}
import { model } from "@medusajs/utils"
const MyCustom = model.define("my_custom", {
id: model.id().primaryKey(),
name: model.text(),
age: model.number(),
}).indexes([
{
on: ["name", "age"],
unique: true,
},
])
export default MyCustom
```
This creates a unique composite index on the `name` and `age` properties.
