Usage

Prerequisites

• node (version >= 4)

Connect database

The following databases are supported:

In order to connect a database you need to provide your credentials in the datasources.json file, see this link.

Define model

You now need to describe your database table, defining which attributes should be considered quasi-identifiers and which attribute should be considered to be sensitive. An example can be found here.

Deployment

npm start

Troubleshooting

Make sure that your database instance is accepting traffic from the applications' IP address, e.g. for a MySQL instance port 3306 needs to be open.
