Accessors
inheritedid
Returns the ID of this EntityManager. Respects the context, so global EM will give you the contextual ID if executed inside request context handler.
Returns number
inheritedschema
Returns the default schema of this EntityManager. Respects the context, so global EM will give you the contextual schema if executed inside request context handler.
Returns undefined | string
Sets the default schema of this EntityManager. Respects the context, so global EM will set the contextual schema if executed inside request context handler.
Parameters
schema: undefined | null | string
Returns void
Methods
inheritedaddFilter
Registers global filter to this entity manager. Global filters are enabled by default (unless disabled via last parameter).
Parameters
name: string
cond: FilterQuery<T1> | (args: Dictionary) => MaybePromise<FilterQuery<T1>>
optionalentityName: EntityName<T1> | [EntityName<T1>]
optionalenabled: boolean
Returns void
aggregate
Shortcut to driver's aggregate method. Available in MongoDriver only.
Parameters
entityName: EntityName<any>
pipeline: any[]
Returns Promise<any[]>
inheritedassign
Shortcut for
wrap(entity).assign(data, { em })Parameters
entity: Entity | Partial<Entity>
data: Data & IsSubset<EntityData<Naked, Convert>, Data>
options: AssignOptions<Convert> = {}
Returns MergeSelected<Entity, Naked, keyof Data & string>
begin
Starts new transaction bound to this EntityManager. Use
ctxparameter to provide the parent when nesting transactions.Parameters
options: Omit<TransactionOptions, ignoreNestedTransactions> & TransactionOptions = {}
Returns Promise<void>
inheritedcanPopulate
Checks whether given property can be populated on the entity.
Parameters
entityName: EntityName<Entity>
property: string
Returns boolean
inheritedclear
Clears the EntityManager. All entities that are currently managed by this EntityManager become detached.
Returns void
inheritedclearCache
Clears result cache for given cache key. If we want to be able to call this method, we need to set the cache key explicitly when storing the cache.
// set the cache key to 'book-cache-key', with expiration of 60s
const res = await em.find(Book, { ... }, { cache: ['book-cache-key', 60_000] });
// clear the cache key by name
await em.clearCache('book-cache-key');Parameters

inheritedcreate
Creates new instance of given entity and populates it with given data. The entity constructor will be used unless you provide
{ managed: true }in theoptionsparameter. The constructor will be given parameters based on the defined constructor of the entity. If the constructor parameter matches a property name, its value will be extracted fromdata. If no matching property exists, the wholedataparameter will be passed. This means we can also defineconstructor(data: Partial<T>)andem.create()will pass the data into it (unless we have a property nameddatatoo).The parameters are strictly checked, you need to provide all required properties. You can use
OptionalPropssymbol to omit some properties from this check without making them optional. Alternatively, usepartial: truein the options to disable the strict checks for required properties. This option has no effect on runtime.The newly created entity will be automatically marked for persistence via
em.persistunless you disable this behavior, either locally viapersist: falseoption, or globally viapersistOnCreateORM config option.Parameters

startCursor/endCursorproperties - POJO/entity instance
const currentCursor = await em.findByCursor(User, {}, {
first: 10,

inheritedupsert
Creates or updates the entity, based on whether it is already present in the database. This method performs an
insert on conflict mergequery ensuring the database is in sync, returning a managed entity instance. The method accepts eitherentityNametogether with the entitydata, or just entity instance.// insert into "author" ("age", "email") values (33, 'foo@bar.com') on conflict ("email") do update set "age" = 41
const author = await em.upsert(Author, { email: 'foo@bar.com', age: 33 });The entity data needs to contain either the primary key, or any other unique property. Let's consider the following example, where
Author.emailis a unique property:// insert into "author" ("age", "email") values (33, 'foo@bar.com') on conflict ("email") do update set "age" = 41
// select "id" from "author" where "email" = 'foo@bar.com'
const author = await em.upsert(Author, { email: 'foo@bar.com', age: 33 });Depending on the driver support, this will either use a returning query, or a separate select query, to fetch the primary key if it's missing from the
data.If the entity is already present in current context, there won't be any queries - instead, the entity data will be assigned and an explicit
flushwill be required for those changes to be persisted.Parameters
entityNameOrEntity: Entity | EntityName<Entity>
optionaldata: EntityData<Entity> | NoInfer<Entity>
options: UpsertOptions<Entity, Fields> = {}
Returns Promise<Entity>
inheritedupsertMany
Creates or updates the entity, based on whether it is already present in the database. This method performs an
insert on conflict mergequery ensuring the database is in sync, returning a managed entity instance. The method accepts eitherentityNametogether with the entitydata, or just entity instance.// insert into "author" ("age", "email") values (33, 'foo@bar.com') on conflict ("email") do update set "age" = 41
const authors = await em.upsertMany(Author, [{ email: 'foo@bar.com', age: 33 }, ...]);The entity data needs to contain either the primary key, or any other unique property. Let's consider the following example, where
Author.emailis a unique property:// insert into "author" ("age", "email") values (33, 'foo@bar.com'), (666, 'lol@lol.lol') on conflict ("email") do update set "age" = excluded."age"
// select "id" from "author" where "email" = 'foo@bar.com'
const author = await em.upsertMany(Author, [
{ email: 'foo@bar.com', age: 33 },
{ email: 'lol@lol.lol', age: 666 },
]);Depending on the driver support, this will either use a returning query, or a separate select query, to fetch the primary key if it's missing from the
data.If the entity is already present in current context, there won't be any queries - instead, the entity data will be assigned and an explicit
flushwill be required for those changes to be persisted.Parameters
entityNameOrEntity: EntityName<Entity> | Entity[]
optionaldata: (EntityData<Entity> | NoInfer<Entity>)[]
options: UpsertManyOptions<Entity, Fields> = {}
Returns Promise<Entity[]>
The EntityManager is the central access point to ORM functionality. It is a facade to all different ORM subsystems such as UnitOfWork, Query Language, and Repository API.
