TypeORM

About TypeORM

TypeORM is an ORM that can run in Node.js, React Native, and browsers and supports both Active Record and Data Mapper patterns. It supports multiple databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, and more, and is built with full TypeScript support. TypeORM is feature-rich, supporting migrations, relationships, lazy loading, caching, and soft deletes. It integrates well with dependency injection systems like NestJS, making it popular in enterprise-grade backends.

How We Use TypeORM

TypeORM helps us create well-structured models and handle complex relationships across tables. It allows flexibility in architectural patterns and is suitable for both simple and complex use cases. We benefit from TypeORM’s support for eager/lazy loading and robust migration tooling.
