check if table exists ?

[joeblew99]

Just trying this out.. Its pretty nice..
i dont think the generated code checks if the Table exists ?

What do you think about the idea of being able to generate the check and for all functions to call it ?
It would be a flag on the generator, so you dont have to use it.

Its very nice at Development time to more fast.

It brings uo the whole question of migrations of course too....

Hello!

1. What to do if we've found, that table doesnt exist? Return special error? Panic? Something else?
   I suggest next autogenerated tables manager for struct User:

type UserTableManager struct {
  db *gorm.DB
}

func NewUserTableManager(db *gorm.DB)UserTableManager  {}

func (m UserTableManager) CreateTable() error {}
func (m UserTableManager) DropTable() error {}
func (m UserTableManager) AddColumn(...) error {}
func (m UserTableManager) DropColumn(...) error {}
// etc

2. I can support automigrations with this tables manager:

func (m UserTableManager) AutoMigrate() error {}

What do you think about that?
