Support the latest version of typeorm (v0.3.x)

[micalevisk]

even tho the peer dep semver range allows the usage of typeorm@^0.3.0, maybe few deprecations & drops on the latest version of typeorm could break [email protected]

Please, read this when you have time: https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/releases/tag/0.3.0 ~And close this Issue when you confirm that we can use your package with the latest version of typeorm. I can't find this out by myself yet.~

Just made a simple test that showed it's not working because no connection could be found. Looking forward to the update. Thank you!

[ondrakub]

any progress?

[ymchun]

since the getConnection is deprecated, we need to find a way to pass the connection to the hook

Hey, are there any updates on this? nestjs has already released support for 0.3. recently https://github.com/nestjs/typeorm/pull/1233 in @nestjs/typeorm.

Hey, are there any updates on this?

A possible solution I found was to add to the Transactional.ts file with the NestJS Inject decorator like so:

import { Inject } from '@nestjs/common'
import { DataSource } from 'typeorm'
import { Options, wrapInTransaction } from './wrapInTransaction'

/**
 * Used to declare a Transaction operation. In order to use it, you must use {@link BaseRepository} custom repository in order to use the Transactional decorator
 * @param connectionName - the typeorm connection name. 'default' by default
 * @param propagation - The transaction propagation type. see {@link Propagation}
 * @param isolationLevel - The transaction isolation level. see {@link IsolationLevel}
 */
export function Transactional(options?: Options): MethodDecorator {
  return (target: any, methodName: string | symbol, descriptor: TypedPropertyDescriptor<any>) => {
    Inject(DataSource)(target, '__data_source_key__')
    const originalMethod = descriptor.value
    descriptor.value = wrapInTransaction(originalMethod, { ...options, name: methodName })

    Reflect.getMetadataKeys(originalMethod).forEach((previousMetadataKey) => {
      const previousMetadata = Reflect.getMetadata(previousMetadataKey, originalMethod)
      Reflect.defineMetadata(previousMetadataKey, previousMetadata, descriptor.value)
    })

    Object.defineProperty(descriptor.value, 'name', { value: originalMethod.name, writable: false })
  }
}

Then in the wrapInTransaction.ts file you can access it like so: const dataSource: DataSource = (this as any)?.['__data_source_key__'];

However, after doing this only the test_nestjs.ts file passes and the test_simple.ts does not.

I'll keep working on this and try to get a PR but maybe this will help someone else figure it out faster.

EDIT:

If you want to try it out:

  "typeorm-transactional-cls-hooked": "git+https://github.com/jczacharia/typeorm-transactional-cls-hooked.git",

use in your package.json

this works for me.

I can add to your solution how not to use BaseRepository

patchRepositoryManager(DataSource.prototype)

and inside code

const repo = dataSource.getRepository(UserEntity);

[mahns1201]

Is this why "ERROR [ExceptionHandler] Class constructor repository cannot be invoked without 'new'" occurs when using BaseRepository in "[email protected]"?

my version is this "typeorm": "^0.3.6" "@nestjs/typeorm": "^8.1.3"

so, i use CustomRepository on entity.ts like this. @CustomRepository(User) export class UserRepository extends BaseRepository<User> {}

at that time this Error occur.

export class UserRepository extends Repository<User> {} it does not occur any Error.

i already tried to change my tsconfig.json file's compilerOptions but it doesn't work. 🥲

[Mcheikh2]

Any updates ?

[xtrinch]

The above code from @jczacharia works for me, with one addition (No need to extend the base repo from this lib this way): patchRepositoryManager(Repository.prototype) after initializeTransactionalContext() You can then do this.somethingRepo.find(...) like you normally would with the usage of the decorator

Hi guys, thanks a lot to the author for such a great library. But I'm really sorry that the lib hasn't support last TypeORM changes.

I needed this library functionality for my new project but with support of newer versions of TypeORM, so I made a fork of this library and did necessary changes and improvements. I also made a package for easy use in my project.

If it helps anyone, you can take a look: https://github.com/Aliheym/typeorm-transactional

[H4ad]

Hey @odavid, @Aliheym's solution still keeps the original library design but creates a breaking change, rather than trying to keep two libraries, why not @Aliheym create a merge in this library with your modifications?

Also, maybe you can share the maintainer responsibilities so that it doesn't overwhelm you too much, what do you think?

[Aliheym]

It will be cool.

[ckawell-sb]

The TLDR (am I getting this right?): This npm package is no longer being updated (per the latest PR's comment), but there is a forked npm package that is updated: https://www.npmjs.com/package/typeorm-transactional

[Caesarsage]

Can i use @Aliheym package and this together ? Like i already have a codebase with this package or i can use @Aliheym and unistall without causing code breaks ? Seems this package have been abandon
