typeorm-naming-strategy-rails

Rails-like naming strategy for TypeORM.

This package overrides TypeORM’s default naming strategy, giving you pluralized table names and snake-case column names, i.e. users and email_address instead of user and emailAddress.

Using this naming strategy with a database system such as PostgreSQL prevents you from having to put many of your column names in quotes when writing queries: SELECT ip_address, last_seen_at compared to SELECT "ipAddress", "lastSeenAt".

Installation

After installing TypeORM, then

npm i typeorm-naming-strategy-rails

or

yarn add typeorm-naming-strategy-rails

Usage

In your ormconfig.js:

const namingStrategy = require('typeorm-naming-strategy-rails')

module.exports = {
    // …

    namingStrategy,
}

Known issues

• Not yet complete; only transforms table names, column names, join column names, and join table column names for now. More methods from the default naming strategy will be overridden in the future.
• Table names are pluralized naïvely, simply appending an ‘s’. You can manually name your entity, e.g. @Entity({ name: 'cities' }), as a workaround.
• Lodash dependency should be removed.
