# Typeorm Entity Generator

## Overview

This skill provides automated assistance for typeorm entity generator tasks within the Backend Development domain.

## When to Use

This skill activates automatically when you:
- Mention "typeorm entity generator" in your request
- Ask about typeorm entity generator patterns or best practices
- Need help with backend skills covering node.js, python, go, database design, caching, messaging, and microservices architecture.

## Instructions

1. Provides step-by-step guidance for typeorm entity generator
2. Follows industry best practices and patterns
3. Generates production-ready code and configurations
4. Validates outputs against common standards

Overview

This skill automates generation and guidance for TypeORM entity generator tasks in backend projects. It produces schema-aligned entity code, configuration snippets, and step-by-step instructions to integrate TypeORM with your data layer. Use it to speed up entity creation while following common design and production standards.

How this skill works

The skill inspects your schema inputs, database metadata, or example models and generates TypeORM entity classes, decorators, and related configuration (e.g., connection options, migrations). It also validates generated code against common pitfalls, suggests naming and relationship patterns, and provides commands and migration guidance. Outputs include ready-to-use TypeScript or JavaScript entity files and recommended project changes.

When to use it

  • When you need to scaffold TypeORM entities from a schema or existing database
  • When designing relationships, indexes, and column types for a new data model
  • When you want production-ready configuration and migration guidance
  • When integrating TypeORM into an existing Node.js backend or microservice
  • When validating entity code against TypeORM best practices

Best practices

  • Define clear, consistent entity and column naming conventions to avoid runtime errors
  • Explicitly declare relation types and eager/lazy loading to control queries and performance
  • Use migrations for schema changes and keep generated migration files under version control
  • Validate column types against your target database to prevent type mismatches
  • Add indexes and unique constraints early for expected query patterns

Example use cases

  • Generate entity classes from a database schema dump or ER diagram for quick scaffolding
  • Convert plain object model definitions into TypeORM entities with relations and decorators
  • Produce configuration snippets for TypeORM connection, naming strategies, and migration setup
  • Create migration stubs and commands after entity changes to keep schema and code in sync
  • Review and correct entity code to follow performance and safety recommendations

FAQ

Which languages and outputs does the skill generate?

It generates TypeORM entities in TypeScript or JavaScript, plus configuration and migration command examples suited to common Node.js setups.

Do I need an existing database to use this skill?

No—you can generate entities from model descriptions or schema files, but providing database metadata enables more accurate type mapping and constraints.
