routing-controllers integration with TypeORM

This extension for TypeORM provides handy decorators that can be used with routing-controllers.

Installation

• Install module:

npm install typeorm-routing-controllers-extensions --save

• Install routing-controllers:

npm install routing-controllers --save

• That's all, start using decorators!

Usage

All decorators can be used on properties and constructor arguments, e.g. you can use both property and constructor injection.

@EntityFromParam

Creates entity from the request parameter.

Example:

import {JsonController, Get} from "routing-controllers";
import {EntityFromParam} from "typeorm-routing-controllers-extensions";
import {User} from "../entity/User";

@JsonController()
export class UserController {

    @Get("/users/:id")
    get(@EntityFromParam("id") user: User) {
        return user;
    }

}

@EntityFromQuery

Creates entity from the request query parameter.

Example:

import {JsonController, Get} from "routing-controllers";
import {EntityFromQuery} from "typeorm-routing-controllers-extensions";
import {User} from "../entity/User";

@JsonController()
export class UserController {

    @Get("/users")
    get(@EntityFromQuery("id") user: User) {
        return user;
    }

}

@EntityFromCookie

Creates entity from the request cookie.

Example:

import {JsonController, Get} from "routing-controllers";
import {EntityFromCookie} from "typeorm-routing-controllers-extensions";
import {User} from "../entity/User";

@JsonController()
export class UserController {

    @Get("/users")
    get(@EntityFromCookie("userId") user: User) {
        return user;
    }

}

@EntityFromBody

Creates entity from the request body.

Example:

import {JsonController, Post} from "routing-controllers";
import {EntityFromBody} from "typeorm-routing-controllers-extensions";
import {User} from "../entity/User";

@JsonController()
export class UserController {

    @Post("/users")
    save(@EntityFromBody() user: User) {
        return this.userRepository.persist(user);
    }

}

@EntityFromBodyParam

Creates entity from the request's body parameter.

Example:

import {JsonController, Post} from "routing-controllers";
import {EntityFromBodyParam} from "typeorm-routing-controllers-extensions";
import {User} from "../entity/User";

@JsonController()
export class UserController {

    @Post("/users")
    save(@EntityFromBodyParam("user") user: User) {
        return this.userRepository.persist(user);
    }

}

Decorators Options

Each decorator accepts EntityParamOptions which has following options:

• connectionName?: string

Name of the connection to be used in TypeORM. By default, its "default" connection.

• required: boolean

Indicate if this parameter's value is required. If its required and client didn't pass a value, routing-controllers will throw an error.

• parseJson: boolean

Specifies "parseJson" option to routing-controllers.

• type: Function

Entity type. Automatically retrieved from entity param's type, but in some cases, for example if you are using array of entities it should be passed explicitly.

• many: boolean

Entity type. Automatically retrieved from entity param's type, but in some cases, for example if you are using array of entities it should be passed explicitly.

• property: boolean

Property to find by. If not specified, then entity will be fetched by its primary keys.
