Here's an example of how to use Sequelize with SvelteKit hooks, using the Sveltekit documentation:

1. Create a new file in your project called hooks.server.js.
2. Import Sequelize and create a connection to your MySQL database.
3. Define a hook function that queries the database using Sequelize.

Here's an example of what the code might look like:

import { Sequelize } from 'sequelize';

const sequelize = new Sequelize({
  dialect: 'mysql',
  host: 'localhost',
  username: 'root',
  password: 'password',
  database: 'mydatabase',
});

export async function handle({ event, resolve }) {
  const results = await sequelize.query('SELECT * FROM mytable');
  event.locals.myData = results[0];
  return resolve(request);
}

This hook function queries the mytable table in the mydatabase database and stores the results in the event.locals.myData object.
