Start of the lawyer scoreboard project

##Objectives You're building an API that will list ratings/stats of lawyers. You'll use basic database architecture to create the Sequelize models that will drive your application.

###Step 1: Create the base of your project

• Create a package.json file with the following dependencies:
  • mysql
  • sequelize
  • express
• Create a server.js file
• In your server.js file, require sequelize and initiate a new db connection to your local db
• Using Sequel Pro, create a database called lawyer_scoreboard

###Step 2: Create the model

• Create a Lawyer model, with the following fields:
  • name
  • location
  • record (wins/losses)
  • hourly rate
• Using the Sequelize documentation as a resource (http://sequelizejs.com/documentation#models-data-types), decide which types of fields these should be
• Make sure to sync() the models to the actual db

###Step 3: Create a simple GET endpoint /lawyers for retrieving lawyer rankings

• Using Sequel Pro, insert some data into your lawyer table
• Utilize Express to create a single GET endpoint for retrieving the lawyer data in JSON format
• To retrieve the data, check out the .all() method for Sequelize models:

Lawyer.all().success(function(lawyers) {
  // lawyers will be an array of all Lawyer instances
})
