*WARNING* Sequelize Upgrade to V4 Does NOT Use Instance Methods

Hey everyone! This video is outdated, so before you console.log yourselves crazy, check out the Sequelize docs about v4 wherein what were formally called classMethods and instanceMethods are added to any given Model like this:

// Class Methods
  Article.associate = function(models) {
        // associations can be defined here
  };

//Instance Methods
  Article.prototype.publishedAt = function() {
    return dateFormat(this.createdAt, "dddd, mmmm dS, yyyy, h:MM TT");
  };

  Article.prototype.shortDescription = function() {
    return this.body.length > 30 ? this.body.substr(0, 30) + "..." : this.body;
  };

Here is the docs page with an example: http://docs.sequelizejs.com/manual/tutorial/upgrade-to-v4.html
