In which I explore, again, writing a RESTful API using Node.js and express but this time using MySql and sequelize for data persistence.

Instructions on how to run the app

1. First of all, make sure you have npm node installed
2. Clone the repository
3. $ npm install
4. Make sure you have mysql running ($ mysql.server start). Create a database called bank_development (or any other name you want, but make sure you specify the right database name in config/models.json). Add the proper configuration data in the config/models.json file.
5. $ node_modules/sequelize/bin/sequelize -m - this will run the migrations and create the tables
   You might have to edit node_modules/sequelize/bin/sequelize so it will look at the right config file (line 11 should be , configFile = configPath + '/models.json')
6. $ node seed.js - this will populate the tables with some test values
7. Finally, you can run the application: $ node server.js
8. Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:3000 / http://127.0.0.1:3000/offices, etc.
