    /**
     * Creating assocations in sequelize is done by calling one of the belongsTo / hasOne / hasMany functions on a
     * model (the source), and providing another model as the first argument to the function (the target).
     *
     * * hasOne - adds a foreign key to target
     * * belongsTo - add a foreign key to source
     * * hasMany - adds a foreign key to target, unless you also specify that target hasMany source, in which case
     * a
     * junction table is created with sourceId and targetId
     *
     * Creating an association will add a foreign key constraint to the attributes. All associations use `CASCADE`
     * on update and `SET NULL` on delete, except for n:m, which also uses `CASCADE` on delete.
     *
     * When creating associations, you can provide an alias, via the `as` option. This is useful if the same model
     * is associated twice, or you want your association to be called something other than the name of the target
     * model.
     *
     * As an example, consider the case where users have many pictures, one of which is their profile picture. All
     * pictures have a `userId`, but in addition the user model also has a `profilePictureId`, to be able to easily
     * load the user's profile picture.
     *
     * ```js
     * User.hasMany(Picture)
     * User.belongsTo(Picture, { as: 'ProfilePicture', constraints: false })
     *
     * user.getPictures() // gets you all pictures
     * user.getProfilePicture() // gets you only the profile picture
     *
     * User.findAll({
     *   where: ...,
     *   include: [
     *     { model: Picture }, // load all pictures
     *     { model: Picture, as: 'ProfilePicture' }, // load the profile picture. Notice that the spelling must be
     * the exact same as the one in the association
     *   ]
     * })
     * ```
     * To get full control over the foreign key column added by sequelize, you can use the `foreignKey` option. It
     * can either be a string, that specifies the name, or and object type definition,
     * equivalent to those passed to `sequelize.define`.
     *
     * ```js
     * User.hasMany(Picture, { foreignKey: 'uid' })
     * ```
     *
     * The foreign key column in Picture will now be called `uid` instead of the default `userId`.
     *
     * ```js
     * User.hasMany(Picture, {
     *   foreignKey: {
     *     name: 'uid',
     *     allowNull: false
     *   }
     * })
     * ```
     *
     * This specifies that the `uid` column can not be null. In most cases this will already be covered by the
     * foreign key costraints, which sequelize creates automatically, but can be useful in case where the foreign
     * keys are disabled, e.g. due to circular references (see `constraints: false` below).
     *
     * When fetching associated models, you can limit your query to only load some models. These queries are
     * written
     * in the same way as queries to `find`/`findAll`. To only get pictures in JPG, you can do:
     *
     * ```js
     * user.getPictures({
     *   where: {
     *     format: 'jpg'
     *   }
     * })
     * ```
     *
     * There are several ways to update and add new assoications. Continuing with our example of users and
     * pictures:
     * ```js
     * user.addPicture(p) // Add a single picture
     * user.setPictures([p1, p2]) // Associate user with ONLY these two picture, all other associations will be
     * deleted user.addPictures([p1, p2]) // Associate user with these two pictures, but don't touch any current
     * associations
     * ```
     *
     * You don't have to pass in a complete object to the association functions, if your associated model has a
     * single primary key:
     *
     * ```js
     * user.addPicture(req.query.pid) // Here pid is just an integer, representing the primary key of the picture
     * ```
     *
     * In the example above we have specified that a user belongs to their profile picture. Conceptually, this might
     * not make sense, but since we want to add the foreign key to the user model this is the way to do it.
     *
     * Note how we also specified `constraints: false` for profile picture. This is because we add a foreign key
     * from user to picture (profilePictureId), and from picture to user (userId). If we were to add foreign keys
     * to both, it would create a cyclic dependency, and sequelize would not know which table to create first,
     * since user depends on picture, and picture depends on user. These kinds of problems are detected by
     * sequelize before the models are synced to the database, and you will get an error along the lines of `Error:
     * Cyclic dependency found. 'users' is dependent of itself`. If you encounter this, you should either disable
     * some constraints, or rethink your associations completely.

     *
     * ```js
     * sequelize.define('model', {
     *   column: DataTypes.INTEGER
     * })
     * ```
     * When defining a model you can just as easily pass a string as type, but often using the types defined here
     * is
     * beneficial. For example, using `DataTypes.BLOB`, mean that that column will be returned as an instance of
     * `Buffer` when being fetched by sequelize.
     *
     * Some data types have special properties that can be accessed in order to change the data type.
     * For example, to get an unsigned integer with zerofill you can do `DataTypes.INTEGER.UNSIGNED.ZEROFILL`.
     * The order you access the properties in do not matter, so `DataTypes.INTEGER.ZEROFILL.UNSIGNED` is fine as
     * well. The available properties are listed under each data type.
     *
     * To provide a length for the data type, you can invoke it like a function: `INTEGER(2)`
     *
     * Three of the values provided here (`NOW`, `UUIDV1` and `UUIDV4`) are special default values, that should not
     * be used to define types. Instead they are used as shorthands for defining default values. For example, to
     * get a uuid field with a default value generated following v1 of the UUID standard:
     *
     * ```js
     * sequelize.define('model', {
     *   uuid: {
     *     type: DataTypes.UUID,
     *     defaultValue: DataTypes.UUIDV1,
     *     primaryKey: true
