TypeORM+ is an ORM that can run in NodeJS, Browser, Cordova, PhoneGap, Ionic, React Native, NativeScript, Expo, and Electron platforms and can be used with TypeScript and JavaScript (ES5, ES6, ES7, ES8).
TypeORM+ is a fork of TypeORM. TypeORM+ adds functionality to TypeORM intending to make the Repository and QueryBuilder more powerful. Since this is a fork we'll pull in changes from the original TypeORM regularly as they are released.
TypeORM+ is intended to replace TypeORM, so any changes in its interface are documented below.
The soft-delete feature has been merged to the TypeORM. It's recommended to use the TypeORM directly if you don't need the other features.
- Soft Deleting
- Query Scopes
- Convenient Pagination
- Conditional Clauses
-
Install the npm package:
yarn add typeorm-plus --save -
You need to install
reflect-metadatashim, node typing, a database driver and so on. You can read more from here: http://typeorm.io.
After installed the npm packages, you can import modules from "typeorm-plus".
But if you are using the third-party modules for TypeORM, such like nestjs/typeorm, you need to install typeorm-plus with the alias name typeorm:
yarn add typeorm@npm:typeorm-plus --save
In addition to actually removing records from your database, TypeORM+ supports "soft delete". When entities are soft deleted, they are not actually removed from your database. Instead, an attribute that records the delete time is set on the entity and inserted into the database. If the attribute is a non-null value, the entity has been soft deleted. To enable soft deletes for an entity, use the @DeleteDateColumn on the entity:
import { DeleteDateColumn } from 'typeorm-plus'
export class Entity {
@DeleteDateColumn({ name: 'deleted_at' })
public deletedAt: Date
}@DeleteDateColumn is a special column that is automatically set to the entity's delete time each time you call soft-delete of entity manager or repository. You don't need to set this column - it will be automatically set.
import {createConnection} from "typeorm-plus";
import {Entity} from "./entity";
createConnection(/*...*/).then(async connection => {
await connection
.getRepository(Entity)
.createQueryBuilder()
.softDelete()
// And You can restore it using restore;
await connection
.getRepository(Entity)
.createQueryBuilder()
.restore()
}).catch(error => console.log(error));import {createConnection} from "typeorm-plus";
import {Entity} from "./entity";
createConnection(/*...*/).then(async connection => {
const repository = connection.getRepository(Entity);
// Delete a entity
await repository.softDelete(1);
// And You can restore it using restore;
await repository.restore(1);
// Or You can soft-delete them using softRemove
const entities = await repository.find();
const entitiesAfterSoftRemove = await repository.softRemove(entities);
// And You can recover them using recover;
await repository.recover(entitiesAfterSoftRemove);
}).catch(error => console.log(error));This example show what the cascading soft deletes behaves in TypeORM+.
const category1 = new Category();
category1.name = "animals";
const category2 = new Category();
category2.name = "zoo";
const question = new Question();
question.categories = [category1, category2];
const newQuestion = await connection.manager.save(question);
await connection.manager.softRemove(newQuestion);As you can see in this example we did not call save or softRemove for category1 and category2. But They will be automatically saved and soft-deleted when the cascade of relation options is set to true like this:
import {Entity, PrimaryGeneratedColumn, Column, ManyToMany, JoinTable} from "typeorm-plus";
import {Category} from "./Category";
@Entity()
export class Question {
@PrimaryGeneratedColumn()
id: number;
@ManyToMany(type => Category, category => category.questions, {
cascade: true
})
@JoinTable()
categories: Category[];
}Query scopes allow you to add constraints to all queries for a given entity. You can register scopes in your entity:
import { DeleteDateColumn } from 'typeorm-plus'
export class Entity {
static scope = {
'default': {
deletedAt: IsNull()
},
'myScope': {
deletedAt: Not(IsNull())
}
}
}When you are calling queryBuilder, you can also apply the scope.
import {createConnection} from "typeorm-plus";
import {Entity} from "./entity";
createConnection(/*...*/).then(async connection => {
const repository = connection.getRepository(Entity);
await repository.createQueryBuilder().setScope("myScope").getMany();
}).catch(error => console.log(error));The param scope of the setScope function selects scope to apply to the repository. If it is false, none of the scopes will be applied. If it is undefined, the value will be "default".
When you are calling repository, you can apply the scope. The scope mode supports these methods of repository: find, findOne, findOneOrFail, countใfindByIds And findAndCount.
import {createConnection} from "typeorm-plus";
import {Entity} from "./entity";
createConnection(/*...*/).then(async connection => {
const repository = connection.getRepository(Entity);
// Delete a entity
await repository.find({
scope: 'myScope'
});
}).catch(error => console.log(error));The property scope of the find options selects scope to apply to the repository. If it is false, none of the scopes will be applied. If it is undefined, the value will be "default".
TypeORM's own soft delete functionality utilizes global scopes to only pull "non-deleted" entities from the database.
If the @DeleteDateColumn is set, the default scope will be "non-deleted".
TypeORM+'s paginator is integrated with the query builder and repository and provides convenient, easy-to-use pagination of database results out of the box.
In this example, the arguments passed to the paginate method is the current page number and the number of items you would like displayed "per page":
import {createConnection} from "typeorm-plus";
import {Entity} from "./entity";
createConnection(/*...*/).then(async connection => {
await connection
.getRepository(Entity)
.createQueryBuilder()
.paginate(1, 15)
.getMany();
}).catch(error => console.log(error));TypeORM+'s paginator also supports raw mode:
import {createConnection} from "typeorm-plus";
import {Entity} from "./entity";
createConnection(/*...*/).then(async connection => {
await connection
.getRepository(Entity)
.createQueryBuilder()
.paginateRaw(1, 15)
.getRawMany();
}).catch(error => console.log(error));You may also paginate queries with the repository.
import {createConnection} from "typeorm-plus";
import {Entity} from "./entity";
createConnection(/*...*/).then(async connection => {
await connection
.getRepository(Entity)
.findAndCount({
current: 1,
size: 15
})
}).catch(error => console.log(error));The property current of the find options defines an offset page (paginated) where from entities should be taken. And The property size is the alias name for taking, just effected for the conditions that current and size are both defined.
Sometimes you may want clauses to apply to a query only when something else is true. For instance, you may only want to apply a where statement if a given input value is present on the incoming request. You may accomplish this using the when method:
import {createConnection} from "typeorm-plus";
import {Entity} from "./entity";
createConnection(/*...*/).then(async connection => {
await connection
.getRepository(Entity)
.createQueryBuilder("it")
.when(true, qb => qb.where('it.id = 1'))
.getMany();
}).catch(error => console.log(error));The when method only executes the given Closure when the first parameter is true. If the first parameter is false, the Closure will not be executed.
