What goes in the Sequelize "config file"?

Question

I'm just starting out with Sequelize in Node.js and finding the documentation really lacking. I have a 'db' module in which I connect to the database via Sequelize, and this reads in configuration from an application-wide config file at ./config.json relative to the root of my project. This is a nested configuration and extremely unlikely to be structured in the way that Sequelize wants a config file for the CLI.

Now I'm trying to use migrations and the documentation makes reference to a "config file". I know I can set the path to that config file, but what the heck do I put in it? It's not documented anywhere (that I've seen).

There are more things you could put into a config file:

var sequelize = new Sequelize(config.database.dbName, config.database.master.user,     config.database.master.password, {     dialect: config.database.protocol,     port: config.database.port,     host: config.database.master.host,     /* You could setup replication as well     replication: {      read: [      {        host: config.database.master.host,        username: config.database.master.host,        password: config.database.master.password      },      {        host: config.database.master.host,        username: config.database.master.host,        password: config.database.master.password      }      ],      write: {        host: config.database.master.host,        username: config.database.master.host,        password: config.database.master.password      }      */     },     pool: {         maxConnections: config.database.pool.maxConnections,         maxIdleTime: config.database.pool.maxIdleTime     },      logging: false,     define: {         underscored: false,         freezeTableName: false,         syncOnAssociation: true,         charset: 'utf8',         collate: 'utf8_general_ci',         classMethods: {method1: function() {}},         instanceMethods: {method2: function() {}},         timestamps: true         schema: "prefix"     } }),
