Alternatives for "nestjs-query"

[eugeny-dementev]

Since that library could be considered dead, what might be the replacement/alternative for it? Why it became obsolete, is there a better tool appeared/made by someone?

@eugeny-dementev - This is the fork that is being pretty well maintained now.

My previous encounter (4-5 months ago) with that particular fork was less reliable compared to this one. I switched back to the doug-martin library for our codebase. It might be worth considering if someone's project lacks the necessary timeframe for contributions.

In what ways less reliable? @TriPSs is keeping the library up-to-date and also even adding features. I've helped too where I can.

@smolinari I can't recall the exact problem I encountered (I think it related to one of the decorator hooks being skipped), but I remember vividly that, at that time, the relations were not joined to execute a single database query. Instead, in most instances, a separate query was made for each relation.

[TriPSs]

@ridyio good to know that for simple relations we now have the enableLookAhead option that will do it in one query, for other relations (one -> many) it's usually faster to do it in separate queries.

it's usually faster to do it in separate queries

Or, if it is dealing with the n+1 problem, set up data loaders.

Thanks @TriPSs @smolinari. Glad to see that your fork is actively maintained. I'll surely try it out again.

@doug-martin we should open up the maintainer group to keep this project alive
