What you are asking for is generally a Database First Approach to ORM, TypeORM does not support that natively AFAIK.

My best suggestion would be to implement a JSON to TS model and then map the required columns with TypeORM decorators. That will be your best bet.

For now, you can implement independent tables and then go along with other tables. I know its a long process. But modern ORMs are made to work with Entity first method.
