# primary-key-required - ESLint plugin rules

This rule requires that a data model defined with `model.define` declares a primary key via `.primaryKey()`.

## Severity

`warn`. 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 `model.define` schema that doesn't declare a primary key on any of its properties.

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(),
  title: model.text(),
})
```

Instead, add `.primaryKey()` to one of the properties:

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

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

## Why it's Important

A data model needs a primary key to uniquely identify each record. Without one, the model can't be persisted or queried reliably.

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

## Fixable

This rule isn't auto-fixable.

## Turn it Off

To turn off this rule, set it to `off` in your ESLint configuration:

```ts title="eslint.config.ts"
import { defineConfig } from "eslint/config"
import medusa from "@medusajs/eslint-plugin"

export default defineConfig([
  ...medusa.configs.recommended,
  {
    rules: {
      "@medusajs/primary-key-required": "off",
    },
  },
])
```

Or disable it for a single line using an inline comment:

```ts
// eslint-disable-next-line @medusajs/primary-key-required
export const Post = model.define("post", {
```
