Columns

Columns - Decorators

Decorator	What	Type	Eloquent Equivalent
`@column()`	A regular column	`any` (specify by type of class member)	`$table->{{type}}`
`@PrimaryGeneratedColumn()`	[AUTO] Auto-incr. PK	`number`	`$table->increments('id')`*
`@CreateDateColumn()`	[AUTO] Created Timestamp	`Date`	`$table->timestamps()`

* = BigInt is not yet completely supported in JS land and not in TypeOrm. So there is not really an equivalent to Eloquent's $table->bigIncrements() or $table->bigInteger(). In fact, this is something to be wary of if you are coming from Laravel, since default migrations now use BigInts over there.

PrimaryGeneratedColumn(), in MySQL, generates an INT() column, which should have a max size of 2147483647 (unsigned).

Columns - "Gotchas"

When creating a foreign column, with something like @ManyToOne, the generator will automatically put the string 'id' at the end of whatever you put. So this:
```
@manyToOne(...)
public userId: User;
```
... Would actually generate a column name of `"userIdId". Whoops!
