+posts:
+  - id: 1
+    title: Hello
+    userId: 1
+```
+

+
+```ts
+// Auto-generated by yrest types — do not edit manually.
+// Source: db.yml
+
+/** Item of the `users` collection. */
+export interface User {
+  id: number;

+export type CollectionName = "users" | "posts";
+
+/** Maps each collection name to its item array type. */
+export interface Collections {
+  users: User[];
+  posts: Post[];
+}
+```
+
+**How types are derived:**
+
+- Interface names are the collection name in singular PascalCase (`users` → `User`, `post_tags` → `PostTag`, `categories` → `Category`). If two names collide, the plural form is kept.
+- Types are inferred from **every** item. A field present on all items is required; a field missing on any item is optional (`?`).
+- Different types across items become a union (`number | string`); `null` values add `| null`. Nested objects are merged into one inline shape and array elements are pooled (`{ k?: string; v?: number }[]`).
+- `_schema` overrides the inference: `_type` (`integer` → `number`), `_required` (or the `required` / `optional` shorthand), `_enum` (literal union), `_nullable` and `_items`. `_description`, `_format` and `_deprecated` are emitted as JSDoc. Fields declared only in `_schema` are included.
+- `many2one` / `one2one` foreign keys from `_rel` are annotated with `FK → target.id`.
+
+The command only reads the file: `__uuid_gen` / `__fk` directives are **not** resolved and `db.yml` is never rewritten (unresolved directive values are typed as `string`).
+
+The generator is also available programmatically:
+
+```ts
+import { generateTypes } from "@yrest/cli";
+
+const source = generateTypes({ data: { users: [{ id: 1, name: "Ana" }] } });

+
+The SSE handler receives `(req, raw, ctx)`, where `raw` is the Node.js `ServerResponse`. yRest sends the SSE headers and the keep-alive comments; the handler writes frames and calls `raw.end()` when it is done. A handler missing from the handlers file answers `501`; one that throws sends an `event: error` frame and the stream is closed.

+
+Changes are visible to HTTP clients immediately and are persisted to `db.yml` exactly like REST writes (in-memory for inline data). Returned items are copies: changing one does not change the stored data — use `update()`. `collection()` throws for an unknown collection, and before `start()`. The same handle is available to handlers as [`ctx.collection`](#handler-functions).
