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.

Preface

Creating a User scheme


With the help of Sequelize-cli we will create a simple scheme for application users:

Open terminal/shell at the root project folder and type the following command:

      sequelize model:create --name User --attributes "name:string,
      email:string"

You will see the following output on your terminal window:

Sequelize [Node: 6.3.0, CLI: 2.3.1, ORM: 3.19.3]
Loaded configuration file "config/config.json".
Using environment "development".
Using gulpfile /usr/local/lib/node_modules/sequelize-
      cli/lib/gulpfile.js
Starting 'model:create'...
Finished 'model:create' after 13 ms

Let's check the user model file present at: models/User.js, here add sequelize using the define() function to create the User scheme:

      'use strict'; 
      module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) { 
        var User = sequelize.define('User', { 
          name: DataTypes.STRING, 
          email: DataTypes.STRING 
        },
       { 
          classMethods: { 
           associate...
