how do i connect an existing database to sequelize.js?

I have a database I generated through postgres. How do I connect it to sequelize for node.js?

I know the basic syntax for sequelize connections, but how do I connect these together?

In node.js after installing the sequelize and pg packages through npm you can do this:

var sequelize = new Sequelize('your_database_name', 'user', 'password', {
  host: "localhost", //your server
  port: 12345 //server port
  dialect: 'postgres'
});

Note, in order to use Sequelize with Postgres you'll_need the postgres package. The Sequelize homepage contains instructions on changes you might need to make in order to use them together.
