Entity-driven schema definition with the Data Mapper pattern for the Marko framework.

```
use Marko\Database\Attributes\Column;
use Marko\Database\Attributes\Table;
use Marko\Database\Entity\Entity;
use Marko\Database\Repository\Repository;

#[Table('posts')]
class Post extends Entity
{
    #[Column(primaryKey: true, autoIncrement: true)]
    public int $id;

    #[Column(length: 255)]
    public string $title;

    #[Column(type: 'json')]
    public array $metadata = [];

    protected const string ENTITY_CLASS = Post::class;
}
