PG array types are unsupported

See original GitHub issue

I’ve set up pgtyped without any problems, but I have a column in my table of type character varying(100)[] or varchar(100)[]. Upon running pgtyped CLI, I get the following error:

Error: Postgres type '_varchar' is not supported by mapping
    at TypeAllocator.use (/home/mark/Work/configurator-sdk/node_modules/@pgtyped/cli/lib/types.js:99:34)
    at /home/mark/Work/configurator-sdk/node_modules/@pgtyped/cli/lib/generator.js:54:36
    at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
    at /home/mark/Work/configurator-sdk/node_modules/@pgtyped/cli/lib/generator.js:53:21
    at Generator.next (<anonymous>)
    at fulfilled (/home/mark/Work/configurator-sdk/node_modules/@pgtyped/cli/lib/generator.js:5:58)
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:94:5)

and the column gets a type of never in the resulting .ts file. Would be great to add support for this kind of types in the future!

@Maxpain177 This is a bigger task and is a work in progress. I will update this thread once it is ready.

Thanks @shkarpa! We are aware of it and plan on adding it shortly. That will require some tighter integration with a specific pg client like node-postgres, but it is planned.
