Index

Constructors

constructor

  • new ArrayType<T>(toJsValue?: (i: string) => T, toDbValue?: (i: T) => string): ArrayType<T>
  • Type parameters

    • T = string

    Parameters

    • toJsValue: (i: string) => T = ...
      • toDbValue: (i: T) => string = ...

        Returns ArrayType<T>

      Properties

      optionalmeta

      meta?: EntityMetadata<any>

      optionalplatform

      platform?: Platform

      optionalprop

      prop?: EntityProperty<any, any>

      Accessors

      name

      • get name(): string
      • Returns string

      runtimeType

      • get runtimeType(): string
      • Returns string

      Methods

      compareAsType

      • compareAsType(): string
      • How should the raw database values be compared? Used in EntityComparator. Possible values: string | number | bigint | boolean | date | any | buffer | array


        Returns string

      optionalcompareValues

      • compareValues(a: null | string, b: null | string): boolean
      • Allows to override the internal comparison logic.


        Parameters

        • a: null | string
        • b: null | string

        Returns boolean

      convertToDatabaseValue

      • Converts a value from its JS representation to its database representation of this type.


        Parameters

        Returns null | string

      optionalconvertToDatabaseValueSQL

      • convertToDatabaseValueSQL(key: string, platform: Platform): string
      • Converts a value from its JS representation to its database representation of this type.


        Parameters

        Returns string

      convertToJSValue

      • convertToJSValue(value: null | string | T[], platform: Platform): null | T[]
      • Converts a value from its database representation to its JS representation of this type.


        Parameters

        • value: null | string | T[]
        • platform: Platform

        Returns null | T[]

      optionalconvertToJSValueSQL

      • convertToJSValueSQL(key: string, platform: Platform): string
      • Modifies the SQL expression (identifier, parameter) to convert to a JS value.


        Parameters

        Returns string

      ensureComparable

      • When a value is hydrated, we convert it back to the database value to ensure comparability, as often the raw database response is not the same as the convertToDatabaseValue result. This allows to disable the additional conversion in case you know it is not needed.


        Type parameters

        • T: object

        Parameters

        Returns boolean

      getColumnType

      • Gets the SQL declaration snippet for a field of this type.


        Parameters

        Returns string

      optionalgetDefaultLength

      • getDefaultLength(platform: Platform): number
      • Get the default length for values of this type

        When doing schema generation, if neither "length" nor "columnType" option is provided, the length will be defaulted to this value.

        When doing entity generation, if the type is recognized to this type, and the inferred length is this value, the length option will be omitted in the output. If this method is not defined, length is always outputted based on what is in the database metadata.


        Parameters

        • platform: Platform

          The platform the default will be used for.

        Returns number

        The default value for the given platform.

      toJSON

      • toJSON(value: T[]): T[]
      • Converts a value from its JS representation to its serialized JSON form of this type. By default uses the runtime value.


        Parameters

        • value: T[]

        Returns T[]

      staticgetType

      • getType<JSType, DBType, TypeClass>(cls: TypeClass): InstanceType<TypeClass>
      • Type parameters

        Parameters

        • cls: TypeClass

        Returns InstanceType<TypeClass>

      staticisMappedType

      • isMappedType(data: any): data is Type<any, any>
      • Checks whether the argument is instance of Type.


        Parameters

        • data: any

        Returns data is Type<any, any>
