Usage: @procoders/generator-model-from-loopback-to-typeorm --bep=<backend-path> --save=<savePath>

  --bep, --backend-path  Path where the model-config.json file and models is located      [required]
  --save, --save-path    Path where we will save entity

Make sure that the file from which this model will be read looks like this (this is our model-configs file)

{
  "upload": {
    "dataSource": "db",
    "public": false
  },
  "accessToken": {
    "dataSource": "db",
    "public": true
  },
  "attendee": {
    "dataSource": "amazonS3",
    "public": true
  },
  "calendar": {
    "dataSource": "db",
    "public": true
  },
  ...
}

Remember, we will only use models with "dataSource": "db"

Examples

• Creating models from loopback config
  • Npx Way npx @procoders/typeorm-model-generator --bep='../api/server' --save='test-folder'

Problems you may encounter

When the entity is formed, there may be problems with the links, because they were either specified incorrectly in the loopback models or not at all. You will have to correct them manually
