class Movie extends Sequelize.Model {}

Movie.init({ title: Sequelize.STRING }, { sequelize })

// async IIFE (async () => { try { await sequelize.authenticate(); console.log('Connection to the database successful!'); } catch (error) { console.error('Error connecting to the database: ', error); } })();
