This project contains a CRUD for SQL Server DB using Typescript, Express.js and Sequelize ORM.

At your SQL Server instance, create a new DB and create a simple table that will contains 4 columns: id, name, description and enabled. You can use the following SQL Server Script:

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Departments](
    [id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [name] [varchar](255) NOT NULL,
    [description] [varchar](255) NOT NULL,
    [enabled] [bit] NOT NULL DEFAULT 1
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Departments] ADD PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
    [id] ASC
)WITH (STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, OPTIMIZE_FOR_SEQUENTIAL_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

Be sure that in your local environment you have the file called .env. Within that file you should add the port where your REST API will be available and DB connection data, like this sample:

PORT=8000
DB=<YourDbName>
DB_USER=<YourDbUser>
DB_PASSWORD=<YourDbPass>
DB_HOST=<YourDbHost>
DB_PORT=1433

Hard code your configurations at the file config.ts.
