It is a bad practice to use pass DB field names as plain text to ORM methods. It is too easy to make a typo or forget a few places during refactoring.
In the example below, the "username" field name strings leads to potential errors:
db.Where(&User{Age: 20}).Order("username").First(&user)
db.Select("username, age").Find(&users)
Field names must at least be converted to constants. For example, the generator can add some extra information to the generated types:
db.Where(&User{Age: 20}).Order(User.username).First(&user)
db.Select(User.username).Find(&users)
fmt.Println(User.username) // username
fmt.Println(User.username.dbType) // varchar(255)
fmt.Println(User.username.dbNullable) // false
fmt.Println(User.username.type) // string
