QueryBuilder <T>

SQL query builder with fluent interface.

const qb = orm.em.createQueryBuilder(Publisher);
qb.select('*')
.where({
name: 'test 123',
type: PublisherType.GLOBAL,
})
.orderBy({
name: QueryOrder.DESC,
type: QueryOrder.ASC,
})
.limit(2, 1);

const publisher = await qb.getSingleResult();

    Returns string

addSelect

andWhere

as

  • as(alias: string): QueryBuilder<any, any>

    Parameters

    • alias: string

    Returns QueryBuilder<any, any>

cache

  • cache(config?: number | boolean | [string, number]): QueryBuilder<T>
  • Parameters

    • config: number | boolean | [string, number] = true

    Returns QueryBuilder<T>

clone

comment

  • Prepend comment to the sql query using the syntax /* ... *&#8205;/. Some characters are forbidden such as /*, *&#8205;/ and ?.


    Parameters

    • comment: string | string[]

    Returns QueryBuilder<T>

count

  • Parameters

    • optionalfield: string | string[]
    • distinct: boolean = false

    Returns CountQueryBuilder<T>

delete

distinct

distinctOn

execute

  • execute<U>(method?: get | all | run, mapResults?: boolean): Promise<U>
  • Executes this QB and returns the raw results, mapped to the property names (unless disabled via last parameter). Use method to specify what kind of result you want to get (array/single/meta).


    Type parameters

    • U = any

    Parameters

    • method: get | all | run = 'all'
    • mapResults: boolean = true

    Returns Promise<U>

from

  • Specifies FROM which entity’s table select/update/delete will be executed, removing all previously set FROM-s. Allows setting a main string alias of the selection data.


    Type parameters

    • T: Partial<T> = Partial<any>

    Parameters

    Returns QueryBuilder<T>

getCount

  • getCount(field?: string | string[], distinct?: boolean): Promise<number>
  • Executes count query (without offset and limit), returning total count of results


    Parameters

    • optionalfield: string | string[]
    • optionaldistinct: boolean

    Returns Promise<number>

getFormattedQuery

  • getFormattedQuery(): string
  • Returns raw interpolated query string with all the parameters inlined.


    Returns string

getKnex

  • getKnex(): QueryBuilder<any, any>
  • Returns QueryBuilder<any, any>

getKnexQuery

  • getKnexQuery(): QueryBuilder<any, any>
  • Returns QueryBuilder<any, any>

getParams

  • getParams(): readonly Value[]
  • Returns the list of all parameters for this query.


    Returns readonly Value[]

getQuery

  • getQuery(): string
  • Returns the query with parameters as wildcards.


    Returns string

getResult

  • getResult(): Promise<T[]>
  • Alias for qb.getResultList()


    Returns Promise<T[]>

getResultAndCount

  • getResultAndCount(): Promise<[T[], number]>
  • Executes the query, returning both array of results and total count query (without offset and limit).


    Returns Promise<[T[], number]>

getResultList

  • getResultList(): Promise<T[]>
  • Executes the query, returning array of results


    Returns Promise<T[]>

getSingleResult

  • getSingleResult(): Promise<null | T>
  • Executes the query, returning the first result or null


    Returns Promise<null | T>

groupBy

  • groupBy(fields: string | keyof T | readonly (string | keyof T)[]): QueryBuilder<T>
  • Parameters

    • fields: string | keyof T | readonly (string | keyof T)[]

    Returns QueryBuilder<T>

having

hintComment

  • Add hints to the query using comment-like syntax /*+ ... *&#8205;/. MySQL and Oracle use this syntax for optimizer hints. Also various DB proxies and routers use this syntax to pass hints to alter their behavior. In other dialects the hints are ignored as simple comments.


    Parameters

    • comment: string | string[]

    Returns QueryBuilder<T>

ignore

indexHint

  • Adds index hint to the FROM clause.


    Parameters

    • sql: string

    Returns QueryBuilder<T>
