As a developer tasked with building the back end for an e-commerce site, I need to configure a working Express.js API to use Sequelize to interact with a MySQL database. This will enable me to store and retrieve data related to products, categories, customers, and orders from the database using Sequelize's ORM.
To accomplish this, I will first need to set up a MySQL database and create tables for products, categories, customers, and orders. Then, I will install Sequelize and its dependencies, and configure the API to use Sequelize for data access.
Once I have set up the database and configured the API, I can begin implementing the necessary Sequelize models and associations to define the relationships between the different types of data. I will also need to implement the appropriate API routes to handle CRUD operations for each type of data.
With the back end fully configured, I can now work on integrating it with the front end of the e-commerce site, allowing customers to browse and purchase products, and allowing administrators to manage the site's inventory and orders.
