# no-reserved-default-properties-in-model - ESLint plugin rules

This rule disallows redefining the reserved default properties `created_at`, `updated_at`, and `deleted_at` in `model.define`.

## Severity

`error`. This rule is enabled in the [recommended](https://docs.medusajs.com/resources/lint#recommended) preset.

## What it Targets

This rule targets data model files in your project's `src/modules` directory. It reports a `created_at`, `updated_at`, or `deleted_at` property in a `model.define` schema, since Medusa adds these automatically.

The following code is reported by the rule:

```ts title="src/modules/blog/models/post.ts"
import { model } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"

export const Post = model.define("post", {
  id: model.id().primaryKey(),
  created_at: model.dateTime(),
})
```

Instead, remove the reserved property:

```ts title="src/modules/blog/models/post.ts"
import { model } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"

export const Post = model.define("post", {
  id: model.id().primaryKey(),
})
```

## Why it's Important

Medusa automatically adds `created_at`, `updated_at`, and `deleted_at` to every data model. Redefining them in your schema is redundant and can conflict with the auto-added columns.

Learn more in the [Data Models documentation](https://docs.medusajs.com/learn/fundamentals/data-models).

## Fixable

This rule is auto-fixable. Run the linter with the `--fix` option to apply the fix automatically.
