Working with TypeORM

Create an Entity class in src/entity folder, after that you can generate a migration file and run it executing the following commands:

# npm typeorm migration:generate -- -d <path/to/datasource> path/to/migrations/<migration-name>
npm run typeorm migration:generate -- -d ./src/data-source.ts ./src/migration/initial --outputJs
npm run typeorm migration:run

TypeORM will only run migrations from .js files, so you need to generate the migration file with the --outputJs flag (-o).
