Create repository when EntityRepository is deprecated typeorm

Question

I usually use this code to create a repository:

import { EntityRepository, Repository } from 'typeorm'
import { User } from './user.entity'
    
@EntityRepository(User)
export class UserRepository extends Repository<User> {
  getInactiveUsers(): Promise<User[]> {
    return this.createQueryBuilder()
      .where('isActive = :active', { active: false })
      .getMany()
  }
}

However, now EntityRepository is deprecated. I found a reference but I think it's quite complex. I wonder if there is a simpler way to solve it?

Answer 1

Yes, it is deprecated, you can create custom repository with DataSource, you can read this.

Answer 2

But if you want to continue using the Repository class you can roll back to the next version and continue using this feature.

"typeorm": "^0.2.45",
"@nestjs/typeorm": "^8.0.3",

Use NPM:

npm i @nestjs/typeorm@^8.0.3 typeorm@^0.2.45
