neat tool - why use namespaces? just curious

[ORESoftware]

This worked fine for me so far. Just curious why the use for namespaces?

when I ran this:

schemats generate -c 'postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost/postgres' -t 'user_table' -o schemas/user.ts

I got:

export namespace user_tableFields {
    export type id = number;
    export type handle = string;
    export type email = string;
    export type first_name = string;
    export type last_name = string;
    export type is_verified = boolean;

}

export interface user_table {
    id: user_tableFields.id;
    handle: user_tableFields.handle;
    email: user_tableFields.email;
    first_name: user_tableFields.first_name;
    last_name: user_tableFields.last_name;
    is_verified: user_tableFields.is_verified;

}

Because it enables you to reference column types:

export namespace user_tableFields {
    export type id = number;
    ...
}

export namespace post_tableFields {
    export type id = number;
    ...
}

export interface MyUser {
    id: user_tableFields.id;
    posts: post_tableFields.id[];
}

I haven't used this library in a while and this isn't a very pretty example, but I hope it can clear up some confusion.
