typeorm-model-generator-suffix

• Code first is the shit.
• We are database first

Add more future: --suffix-file, --suffix-class

NEW WAY

typeorm-model-generator -h 127.0.0.1 -d db -p 1433 -u sa -x pwd -e mssql --case-file none --suffix-file .entity --suffix-class Entity -o ./src

You want to generate: "address.entity.ts" with className is "AddressEntity". Pls run command with opt --suffix-class Entity --suffix-file .entity.

Installation

Versions

Typeorm-model-generator-suffix comes with preinstalled driver for each supported db(except for oracle). However if you want to use it as a dev-dependency you may want to install your db driver manually to reduce dependency footprint, reduce time spent in the CI. In such case you can use version without preinstalled db drivers - npm i typeorm-model-generator-suffix.

Global module

To install module globally simply type npm i -g typeorm-model-generator-suffix in your console.

Npx way

Thanks to npx you can use npm modules without polluting global installs. So nothing to do here :)

To use npx you need to use npm at version at least 5.2.0. Try updating your npm by npm i -g npm

Database drivers

All database drivers except oracle are installed by default. To use typeorm-model-generator with oracle database you need to install driver with npm i oracledb and configure oracle install client on your machine.

Usage

There are two way to use this utility:

• Use step by step wizard which will guide you though the process - just type npx typeorm-model-generator in your console.
• Provide all parameters through command line(examples below)

Use npx typeorm-model-generator --help to see all available parameters with their descriptions. Some basic parameters below:

Usage: typeorm-model-generator -h <host> -d <database> -p [port] -u <user> -x
[password] -e [engine]

Use Cases

Please take a look at few workflows which might help you with deciding how you're gonna use typeorm-model-generator.

Naming strategy

If you want to generate custom names for properties in generated entities you need to use custom naming strategy. You need to create your own version of NamingStrategy and pass it as command parameter.

typeorm-model-generator -d typeorm_mg --namingStrategy=./NamingStrategy -e sqlite -db /tmp/sqliteto.db
