Connecting to Sequelize with a URL

[PatrickKelly]

Is it possible to use a database URL or connection string to initialize Sequelize?

The docs show this, but if many of our environments we use a string provided through an environment variable:

  imports: [
    ConfigModule.forRoot(),
    SequelizeModule.forRoot({
      dialect: 'postgres',
      host: process.env.DATABASE_HOST,
      port: parseInt(process.env.DATABASE_PORT, 10),
      username: process.env.DATABASE_USER,
      password: process.env.DATABASE_PWD,
      database: process.env.DATABASE_DB,
      logging: process.env.DATABASE_ENABLE_LOGGING === 'true',
      ssl: process.env.DATABASE_REQUIRE_SSL === 'true',
    }),
  ],
  controllers: [StatusController],
  providers: [],
})```
