Different Naming

[jakobsuckow]

Hey there,

big fan of this library. Wondering if there is a way of adding a suffix to each Column ? I.e. suffix "Model" would result in

export type Generated<T> = T extends ColumnType<infer S, infer I, infer U>
  ? ColumnType<S, I | undefined, U>
  : ColumnType<T, T | undefined, T>;

export type Timestamp = ColumnType<Date, Date | string, Date | string>;

export interface CompanyModel {
  id: Generated<number>;
  name: string;
}

export interface UserModel {
  company_id: number | null;
  created_at: Generated<Timestamp>;
  email: string;
  id: Generated<number>;
  is_active: boolean;
  name: string;
  updated_at: Timestamp;
}

export interface DB {
  company: CompanyModel;
  user: UserModel;
}

Much appreciated

Was looking for this myself as well. A workaround is to import User as UserModel in a different file and export UserModel for wider consumption.

Some sort of column naming option would be great though.

@RobinBlomberg have you started working on this (asking bc you've added the 'in-progress' label)? If not I may have some time to take a stab

Hello @vrachev. I'm currently working on a branch that adds:

• Configuration file support (e.g. .kysely-codegenrc.json)
• Improved support for custom singularization rules, which adds a way to e.g. add the suffix Model to all table names (slightly hacky, but it works)
• Custom serializer support, which makes it possible to extend the serializer in a more fine-grained manner and have full control of how e.g. table names are serialized

I haven't had the chance to finalize this yet, but it's working well so far.

Awesome! No rush. Appreciate the great work.

I'm also looking for Prefix or Postfixes on generated types. Love the library, tyvm!
