How would I go about using this with an already existing Database?

I have a database on Planetscale already that has valuable data.
I am wondering, how I could integrate Kirimase with this existing database?

@nikolaischunk you would just set up the project with the Planetscale options and use the env variables from your existing database

I am more referring to the data type definition you can generate with kirimase generate.
Do I have to replicate my database schema with the cli options?
Or how else can I provide Kirimase with the details of how my existing database is structured?

ahh I see. I think you have to replicate the schema with the cli options currently if you want the Models, Controllers, and Views. I had to add one field and went through the whole process again. Partly the limits of code generation without AI I would imagine.

I would love to have something like kirimase migrate that uses a provided schema and builds Models, Controllers, and Views on top of it ⚡
