create inserts nulls on postgres db?

[FergusDevelopmentLLC]

I am trying to get a simple example working. I'm a node, sequelize, epilogue noob.

Here's my server.js...

var Sequelize = require('sequelize'),
    epilogue = require('epilogue'),
    http = require('http'),
    express = require('express'),
    bodyParser = require('body-parser');

var port = process.env.PORT || 9001;

var database = new Sequelize("postgres://geodevdb:XXX@127.0.01:15432/geodevdb");

//Define your models
var User = database.define('User', {
  username: Sequelize.STRING,
  birthday: Sequelize.DATE
});

// var restify = require('restify');
// var app = restify.createServer()
// app.use(restify.queryParser());
// app.use(restify.bodyParser());

var app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

//issue not effected by toggling restify/express

server = http.createServer(app);

// Initialize epilogue
epilogue.initialize({
  app: app,
  sequelize: database
});

// Create REST resource
var userResource = epilogue.resource({
  model: User,
  endpoints: ['/users', '/users/:id']
});

// Create database and listen
database
  .sync({ force: false })
  .then(function() {
    app.listen(port, function() {
      console.log('listening at %s', port);
    });
  });

Here's my post request and response to create a new user...

Here's my console output:

Why are null values inserted for username/birthday?

needed to use application/json when making the post.
