Based on dario1985/nestjs-mikro-orm.

Description

The MikroORM module for NestJS.

🚀 Quick Start

First install the module via yarn or npm and do not forget to install the database driver as well:

$ yarn add @mikro-orm/core @mikro-orm/nestjs @mikro-orm/mongodb     # for mongo
$ yarn add @mikro-orm/core @mikro-orm/nestjs @mikro-orm/mysql       # for mysql/mariadb
$ yarn add @mikro-orm/core @mikro-orm/nestjs @mikro-orm/mariadb     # for mysql/mariadb
$ yarn add @mikro-orm/core @mikro-orm/nestjs @mikro-orm/postgresql  # for postgresql
$ yarn add @mikro-orm/core @mikro-orm/nestjs @mikro-orm/sqlite      # for sqlite

or

$ npm i -s @mikro-orm/core @mikro-orm/nestjs @mikro-orm/mongodb     # for mongo
$ npm i -s @mikro-orm/core @mikro-orm/nestjs @mikro-orm/mysql       # for mysql/mariadb
$ npm i -s @mikro-orm/core @mikro-orm/nestjs @mikro-orm/mariadb     # for mysql/mariadb
$ npm i -s @mikro-orm/core @mikro-orm/nestjs @mikro-orm/postgresql  # for postgresql
$ npm i -s @mikro-orm/core @mikro-orm/nestjs @mikro-orm/sqlite      # for sqlite

Once the installation process is completed, we can import the MikroOrmModule into the root AppModule.

@Module({
  imports: [
    MikroOrmModule.forRoot({
      entities: ['../dist/entities'],
      entitiesTs: ['../src/entities'],
      dbName: 'my-db-name.sqlite3',
      type: 'sqlite',
      baseDir: __dirname,
    }),
  ],
  controllers: [AppController],
  providers: [AppService],
})
export class AppModule {}

The forRoot() method accepts the same configuration object as init() from the MikroORM package. You can also omit the parameter to use the CLI config.

Afterward, the EntityManager will be available to inject across entire project (without importing any module elsewhere).

To define which repositories shall be registered in the current scope you can use the forFeature() method. For example, in this way:

// photo.module.ts

@Module({
  imports: [MikroOrmModule.forFeature([Photo])],
  providers: [PhotoService],
  controllers: [PhotoController],
})
export class PhotoModule {}

and import it into the root AppModule:

// app.module.ts
@Module({
  imports: [MikroOrmModule.forRoot(...), PhotoModule],
})
export class AppModule {}

In this way we can inject the PhotoRepository to the PhotoService using the @InjectRepository() decorator:

@Injectable()
export class PhotoService {
  constructor(
    @InjectRepository(Photo)
    private readonly photoRepository: EntityRepository<Photo>
  ) {}

  // ...

}

Testing

The nestjs-mikro-orm package exposes getRepositoryToken() function that returns prepared token based on a given entity to allow mocking the repository.

@Module({
  providers: [
    PhotoService,
    {
      provide: getRepositoryToken(Photo),
      useValue: mockedRepository,
    },
  ],
})
export class PhotoModule {}
