Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

TypeDI Service container integration with TypeORM

Build Status npm version Dependency Status

This package provides decorators for TypeORM that can be used with TypeDI.

Installation

To start using TypeDI install the required packages via NPM:

npm install typeorm-typedi-extensions typedi reflect-metadata

Import the reflect-metadata package at the first line of your application:

import 'reflect-metadata';

// Your other imports and initialization code
// comes here after you imported the reflect-metadata package!

You need to enable emitting decorator metadata in your Typescript config. Add these two lines to your tsconfig.json file under the compilerOptions key:

"emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
"experimentalDecorators": true,

Configure TypeORM in your app to use the TypeDI container before you create a connection:

import { createConnection, useContainer } from 'typeorm';
import { Container } from 'typeorm-typedi-extensions';
//       ▲ Notice how we import container from this library, instead of TypeDI.

/** Tell TypeORM to use the container provided by this lib to resolve it's dependencies. */
useContainer(Container);

/** Create a connection and start using TypeORM. */
createConnection({
  /* <connection options> */
}).catch(error => {
  console.error(`Couldn't connect to the database!`);
  console.error(error);
});

Usage

This package exposes three decorators all three decorators can be used on properties or on constructor parameters.

IMPORTANT: To allow TypeDI to resolve the dependencies on your classes you must mark them with @Service decorator from the TypeDI package.

@InjectConnection decorator

Injects Connection from where you can access anything in your connection. Optionally, you can specify a connection to inject by name in the decorator parameter.

import { Service } from 'typedi';
import { Connection } from 'typeorm';
import { InjectConnection } from 'typeorm-typedi-extensions';

@Service()
export class MyCustomClass {
  @InjectConnection()
  private propertyInjectedConnection: Connection;

  constructor(@InjectConnection() private constructorInjectedConnection: Connection) {}
}

@InjectManager decorator

Injects EntityManager from where you can access any entity in your connection. Optionally, you can specify a connection to inject by name in the decorator parameter.

import { Service } from 'typedi';
import { EntityManager } from 'typeorm';
import { InjectManager } from 'typeorm-typedi-extensions';

@Service()
export class MyCustomClass {
  @InjectManager()
  private propertyInjectedEntityManager: EntityManager;

  constructor(@InjectManager() private constructorInjectedEntityManager: EntityManager) {}
}

@InjectRepository decorator

Injects Repository, MongoRepository, TreeRepository or custom repository of some Entity. Optionally, you can specify a connection to inject by name in the decorator parameter.

import { Service } from 'typedi';
import { Repository } from 'typeorm';
import { InjectRepository } from 'typeorm-typedi-extensions';
// MyDatabaseModel is a TypeORM entity (class marked with `@Entity()` decorator)
import { MyDatabaseModel } from './entities/post.entity.ts';

@Service()
export class MyCustomClass {
  @InjectRepository(MyDatabaseModel)
  private propertyInjectedRepository: Repository<MyDatabaseModel>;

  constructor(@InjectRepository(MyDatabaseModel) private constructorInjectedRepository: Repository<MyDatabaseModel>) {}
}

Example with custom connection name:

@Service()
export class PostRepository {
  @InjectRepository(Post, 'custom-con-name')
  private repository: Repository<Post>;
}

You can also inject custom Repository of some Entity. To make this work have to create the class which extends the generic Repository<T> class and decorate it with EntityRepository<T> decorator.

import { Service } from 'typedi';
import { Repository, EntityRepository } from 'typeorm';
import { InjectRepository } from 'typeorm-typedi-extensions';
// UserModel is a TypeORM entity (class marked with `@Entity()` decorator)
import { UserModel } from './entities/user.entity.ts';

@Service()
@EntityRepository(UserModel)
export class UserRepository extends Repository<UserModel> {
  public findByEmail(email: string) {
    return this.findOne({ email });
  }
}

@Service()
export class PostService {
  constructor(
    @InjectRepository()
    private readonly userRepository: UserRepository
  ) {}

  public async userExist(user: User): boolean {
    return (await this.userRepository.findByEmail(user.email)) ? true : false;
  }
}
