Examples

Creating model from local MSSQL database

Global module

typeorm-model-generator -h localhost -d tempdb -u sa -x !Passw0rd -e mssql -o .

Npx Way

npx typeorm-model-generator -h localhost -d tempdb -u sa -x !Passw0rd -e mssql -o .

Creating model from local Postgres database, public schema with ssl connection

Global module

typeorm-model-generator -h localhost -d postgres -u postgres -x !Passw0rd -e postgres -o . -s public --ssl

Npx Way

npx typeorm-model-generator -h localhost -d postgres -u postgres -x !Passw0rd -e postgres -o . -s public --ssl

Creating model from SQLite database

Global module

typeorm-model-generator -d "Z:\sqlite.db" -e sqlite -o .

Npx Way

npx typeorm-model-generator -d "Z:\sqlite.db" -e sqlite -o .

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
