TypeORM notes

The TypeORM adapter supports TypeORM 0.3.x (peerDependencies: typeorm ^0.3.20).

Initialized DataSource

typeormAdapter({ dataSource }) throws if dataSource.isInitialized is false. Call await dataSource.initialize() first. Introspection is live metadata, not a schema file on disk.

Entities must already be registered on that DataSource. An entity you never listed in entities cannot be register()ed.

Names

register("User") uses the entity name, not the table name. @Entity() class User / EntitySchema({ name: "User" }) → "User". tableName: "users" does not change the register name.

Search

Case-insensitive list search is used when the driver is postgres, cockroachdb, or aurora-postgres. Other drivers use Like.

Built-in auth

builtInAuthEntities() must be in DataSource.entities if you use auth: { mode: "built-in" }. Skip those entities in external auth mode.

Do not register("ExpressAdminUser") or register("ExpressAdminSession").

Composite keys

Entities with composite primary columns are skipped, same as Prisma models with @@id([a, b]). They cannot be registered in this release.

Custom actions

client is the DataSource. Use typeormActionWhere("id", where) from @paneljs/typeorm instead of spreading where into a repository call.
