typeorm-fastify-plugin

A Fastify plugin that connects, organizes, and decorates all your database connections to your Fastify server. Uses TypeORM

Install

npm install typeorm-fastify-plugin

Usage

const Fastify = require('fastify');
const dbConn = require('typeorm-fastify-plugin');

const fastify = Fastify();

fastify
  .register(dbConn, {
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 3306,
    type: 'mysql',
    database: 'your_database_name',
    username: 'your_username',
    password: 'your_database_password',
    entities: [Users, Products],
  })
  .ready();

fastify.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Listening on port 3000');
});

routes.js

const root = async (fastify, opts) => {
  fastify.get('/', async function (request, reply) {
    const userRepository = fastify.orm.getRepository(Users);
  });
};

Fastify server will be decorated with orm key and available everywhere in your app

You can also pass your connection as connection

Example

const fastify = require('fastify');
const dbConn = require('typeorm-fastify-plugin');
const { DataSource } = require('typeorm');

const connection = new DataSource({
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 3306,
  type: 'mysql',
  database: 'your_database_name',
  username: 'your_username',
  password: 'your_database_password',
});

fastify.register(dbConn, { connection: connection });

Note: You need to install the proper driver as a dependency. For example, if using MySQL, install mysql or mysql2.

---

With ES6

import Fastify from 'fastify';
import plugin from 'typeorm-fastify-plugin';

const fastify = Fastify();
fastify.register(plugin, {
  /* your config options here */
});

Usage With Multiple Namespaces

Typorm allows you to use multiple DataSource instances across your application globally. It only makes sense that this plugin would enable you to do the same thing. Using a namespace is easy but completely optional.

import Fastify from 'fastify';
import plugin from 'typeorm-fastify-plugin';

const fastify = Fastify();
fastify.register(plugin, {
  namespace: 'postgres1',
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 5432,
  username: 'test',
  password: 'test',
  database: 'test_db',
  type: 'postgres',
});

This is the only way to initialize a "namespaced" instance using this plugin.

The namespace will be available everywhere your fastify server is. For example, to access the namespace declared in the above code: fastify.orm['postgres1'].getRepository()

This is the default behavior of wrapping code in fastify-plugin module;
