Generates models for TypeORM from existing databases.
Suported db engines:
* Microsoft SQL Server
* PostgreSQL
* MySQL
* MariaDB
* Oracle Database
* SQLite


## Installation
### Global module
To install module globally simply type `npm i -g typeorm-model-generator` 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 databese you need to install driver with `npm i oracledb` and configure [oracle install client](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-technologies/instant-client/overview/index.html) on your machine.

### 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](https://github.com/Kononnable/typeorm-model-generator/blob/master/src/NamingStrategy.ts) and pass it as command parameter.

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