Web service for realtime check for understanding app

GA CFU Web API (codename: TBD)

Express server supporting a realtime check for understanding app.

Set Up

Sequelize

The app uses Postgres and Sequelize as an ORM. Migrations, Seeds, and DB config are managed by an executable sequelize-cli which is a dependency of the project and can be run locally or installed globally and run without the path to the local module. Checkout this blog post and/or part 1 of this tutorial for more examples of how sequelize-cli works.

Also checkout this example express app.

sequelize-cli is configured in .sequelizerc and related files are kept in js/db. You need a postgresql server running locally (checkout Postgres.app) with a database cfu_development (can use createdb cfu_development from the command line). Next run migrations using sequelize-cli:

use command sequelize if package installed globally and node_modules/.bin/sequelize if just locally

$ sequelize db:migrate

Sequelize [Node: 7.9.0, CLI: 2.7.0, ORM: 3.30.4]

Loaded configuration file "js/db/config/config.json".
Using environment "development".

Models are defined in js/db/models. New models can be created with migrations using sequelize-cli as described by scotch.io. Checkout the semantics of the command with sequelize help:model:create.
