Documentation of find-function in QueryRunner is inaccurate, misleading or wrong

[itinance]

What was unclear or otherwise insufficient?

On this page, there is the following code example:

// we can also access entity manager that works with connection created by a query runner:
const users = await queryRunner.manager.find(User)

While User is not explained at all, what it should be, I tried several attempts:

• Passing a typed UserEntity
• passing a plain object containing corresponding key-value pairs
• passing just null (for the sake of completeness)

The both first attempts won't compile as the required type can't be fulfilled. Only null went through but makes no sense for sure.

Recommended Fix

Which kind of Data needs to be passed to the find-method? Please provide a working example.

Yes, I have the time, but I don't know how to start. I would need guidance.

i couldn't repreduced what you said by using this code

import { Column, DataSource, Entity, PrimaryColumn } from "typeorm";

@Entity("users")
export class User {
  @PrimaryColumn()
  id!: number;

  @Column()
  name: string;
}

const dataSource = new DataSource({
  name: "typeorm-bug-10309",
  synchronize: true,
  logging: false,
  type: "mysql",
  host: "localhost",
  port: 3306,
  username: "root",
  password: "P@ssw0rd",
  database: "typeorm-bug-10309",
  entities: [User],
});

dataSource.initialize().then(async () => {
  const queryRunner = dataSource.createQueryRunner();
  const users = await queryRunner.manager.find(User);
  console.log(users);
});

even when using null it didn't pass it gave me this error No metadata for "null" was found if i miss understood what you said please correct me @itinance
