@IdColumn decorator about typeorm HOT 4 CLOSED

It might be named @AutoIdColumn or sth meaningfull, it's just an alias and behave the same as @PrimaryColumn("int", { generated: true }) - it creates database column id | int(11) | PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT 😉

Almost everyone use auto generated int primary key in databases and the @PrimaryColumn("int", { generated: true }) syntax repeated in every class doesn't look nice and it's a pain to code it every time.

It should be easy to do and I think I might be able to do the PR but not know, I have to learn TypeORM better and build some app using it first

yes, sure its much more complicated codebase and requires time to learn it

It would be nice to have an alias @IdColumn for @PrimaryColumn("int", { generated: true })

But id column means that id will have an unique identifier, right? And it isnt necessary to be generated

agree. But'll call it @GeneratedIdColumn to be more akin to generated in column options. implemented in b39e5ae
