Sequelize

The Sequelize library provides easy access to a MySQL database by mapping database entries to objects and vice versa. To put it in a nutshell... it's an ORM (Object-Relational-Mapper). The library is written entirely in JavaScript and can be used in the Node.JS environment.

Collaboration

I'm glad to get pull request if any functionality is missing or something is buggy. But please ... run the tests before you send me the pull request.

In order to run the tests, just do npm install, which will install expresso and jasmine. I am switching from expresso to jasmine, so please add according tests to your pull requests. This is how you start the tests:

node_modules/.bin/expresso -s test/**/*
