DB Persistence:

This build uses Bookshelf.js to persist our data from postgresql, easily mapping table relations in a minimal promise based format.

# Model
const Make = Bookshelf.Model.extend({
  tableName: 'make',
  models: () => {
    return this.hasMany(Model);
  }
});
  
# Query
Make.where('id', req.params.id).fetch().then((make) => {
  res.json(make); 
}).catch((err) => {
  console.error(err);
});
