Sequelize config.json / config.js

Question

I use express and sequelize for the creation of a web server. I use the CLI of sequelize for the creation of models and migrations.

I would like to change the config.json to config.js in order to be able to use environment variables.

I followed the documentation and created the `.sequelizerc' file as follows =>

const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  'config': path.resolve('config', 'config.js'),
  'models-path': path.resolve('models'),
  'seeders-path': path.resolve('seeders'),
  'migrations-path': path.resolve('migrations')
}

This works as it should for the CLI sequelize, I can create models or start migrations but I can't start the server because it looks for the file config.json.

So my question is how to make sure that when the server starts, it is able to read config.js.

When i run node bin/www i receive

Error: Cannot find module '/nodeTest/nodejs-relationships/models/../config/config.json'

No, since everything is preconfigured with sequelize, I have no idea how to proceed — eth3rnit3

The problem was actually my index.js file located in the /models directory, in reality, it tries to require config.json by default, just replace the .json by an .js
