The Express-Sequelize generator
This project is a fork from generator-angular-express-sequelize.
A Yeoman generator for Express with Sequelize.
Express is a Javascript-based micro-framework.
Installation
Install Git and node.js. The development mode also requires SQLite.
Install Yeoman:
npm install -g yo
Install the Express-Sequelize generator:
npm install -g generator-express-sequelize
Creating an Express service
In a new directory, generate the service:
yo express-sequelize
Run the service:
node app.js
Your service will run at http://localhost:3000.
Creating a persistent entity
Generate the entity:
yo express-sequelize:entity [myentity]
You will be asked to specify attributes for the entity, where each attribute has the following:
- a name
- a type (String, Integer, Float, Boolean, Date, Enum)
- for a String attribute, an optional minimum and maximum length
- for a numeric attribute, an optional minimum and maximum value
- for a Date attribute, an optional constraint to either past values or future values
- for an Enum attribute, a list of enumerated values
- whether the attribute is required
Files that are regenerated will appear as conflicts. Allow the generator to overwrite these files as long as no custom changes have been made.
Run the service:
node app.js
