Overview of this book

Continuous changes in business requirements can make it difficult for programmers to organize business logic into database models, which turns out to be an expensive operation as changes to the database may result in errors and incongruity within applications. Supercharging Node.js Applications with Sequelize helps you get to grips with Sequelize, a reliable ORM that enables you to alleviate these issues in your database and applications. With Sequelize, you'll no longer need to store information in flat files or memory. This book takes a hands-on approach to implementation and associated methodologies for your database that will have you up and running in no time. You'll learn how to configure Sequelize for your Node.js application properly, develop a better sense of understanding of how this ORM works, and find out how to manage your database from Node.js using Sequelize. Finally, you'll be able to use Sequelize as the database driver for building your application from scratch. By the end of this Node.js book, you'll be able to configure, build, store, retrieve, validate, and associate your data from a database to a Node.js application.

Applying associations to Avalon Airlines

Luckily, the models for the project are simple and won’t require the amount of effort as defining a Super Many-to-Many relationship. Within these next several model updates, this book will demonstrate what to modify only for the class model block (the rest of the contents within each file should remain the same).

Starting in alphabetical order, we will begin modifying the models/airplane.js file’s class block by adding a relationship to FlightSchedule:

class Airplane extends Model {
  static associate(models) {
this.FlightSchedules =
this.hasMany(models.FlightSchedule);
  }
};

Next, we can edit the models/boardingticket.js file’s class block and add a Customer and FlightSchedule relationship:

class BoardingTicket extends Model {
  static associate(models) {
    this.Customer = this.belongsTo(models['Customer']);
    this.FlightSchedule...
