Overview of this book

Node.js is the most popular framework to create server-side applications today. Be it web, desktop, or mobile, Node.js comes to your rescue to create stunning real-time applications. Node.js 6.x Blueprints will teach you to build these types of projects in an easy-to-understand manner. The key to any Node.js project is a strong foundation on the concepts that will be a part of every project. The book will first teach you the MVC design pattern while developing a Twitter-like application using Express.js. In the next chapters, you will learn to create a website and applications such as streaming, photography, and a store locator using MongoDB, MySQL, and Firebase. Once you’re warmed up, we’ll move on to more complex projects such as a consumer feedback app, a real-time chat app, and a blog using Node.js with frameworks such as loopback.io and socket.io. Finally, we’ll explore front-end build processes, Docker, and continuous delivery. By the end of book, you will be comfortable working with Node.js applications and will know the best tools and frameworks to build highly scalable desktop and cloud applications.

Installing and configuring Sequelize-cli

Sequelize-cli is a very useful command-line interface for creating models, configurations and migration files to databases. It's integrated with Sequelize middleware and operates with many relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, Sqlite.

Tip

You can find more information about Sequelize middleware implementation at: http://docs.sequelizejs.com/en/latest/ and full documentation of Sequelize-Cli at: https://github.com/sequelize/cli.

Open terminal/shell and type:
```
      npm install -g sequelize-cli
```
Install sequelize with the following command:
```
      npm install sequelize -save
```
Tip
Remember we always use the -save flag to add the module to our package.json file.

Create a file called .sequelizerc on the root folder and place the following code:

      var path = require('path'); 
      module.exports = { 
        'config': path.resolve('./config', 'config.json'), 
        'migrations-path': path.resolve('./config', 'migrations'), 
        'models...
