Updating the entity

Now that we have the password field in our migration and in our database, we need to update our entity to reflect that change.

This is pretty simple. We simply rerun the entity creation command again.

sea-orm-cli generate entity -o entity/src

We are simply regenerating the entity. Since we already have an entity from before, and we only added the migration for the password field, the regenerated entity remains unchanged except the newly added field. If you were using Git, you would see only the password field in the diff.

Here's the regenerated entity,
