Hi, I would like to extend the user entity by adding an extra property class, for example, user_extra. What would be the best practice to achieve this in this project? Should I create a separate entity and link it with a relation, or is there a preferred way in your codebase?

Additionally, are there any CLI commands or scripts already set up in this repository to help generate new entities without npm run generate:resource:relational ? If so, could you please share some guidance or examples?

Thank you!

Is this new entity supposed to leave on your database? Why don't you just add the new fields to the current entity?
