Repository

used to perform CRUD operations on an entityType

find

returns a result array based on the provided options

Arguments:

• options

  • limit - Determines the number of rows returned by the request, on the browser the default is 100 rows

  example:

  await this.remult.repo(Products).find({
   limit:10,
   page:2
  })

  • page - Determines the page number that will be used to extract the data

  example:

  await this.remult.repo(Products).find({
   limit:10,
   page:2
  })

  • load
  • include - An option used in the find and findFirst methods to specify which related entities should be included when querying the source entity. It allows you to eagerly load related data to avoid N+1 query problems.

  param:

  An object specifying the related entities to include, their options, and filtering criteria.

  Example usage:

  const orders = await customerRepo.find({
    include: {
      // Include the 'tags' relation for each customer.
      tags: true,
    },
  });

  In this example, the tags relation for each customer will be loaded and included in the query result.

groupBy

Performs an aggregation on the repository's entity type based on the specified options.

returns:

The result of the aggregation.

example:

// Grouping by country and city, summing the salary field, and ordering by country and sum of salary:
const results = await repo.groupBy({
  group: ['country', 'city'],
  sum: ['salary'],
  where: {
    salary: { $ne: 1000 },
  },
  orderBy: {
    country: 'asc',
    salary: {
      sum: 'desc',
    },
  },
});

// Accessing the results:
console.log(results[0].country); // 'uk'
console.log(results[0].city); // 'London'
console.log(results[0].$count); // count for London, UK
console.log(results[0].salary.sum); // Sum of salaries for London, UK

Arguments:

• options - The options for the aggregation.

  • group - Fields to group by. The result will include one entry per unique combination of these fields.
  • sum - Fields to sum. The result will include the sum of these fields for each group.
  • avg - Fields to average. The result will include the average of these fields for each group.
  • min - Fields to find the minimum value. The result will include the minimum value of these fields for each group.
  • max - Fields to find the maximum value. The result will include the maximum value of these fields for each group.
  • distinctCount - Fields to count distinct values. The result will include the distinct count of these fields for each group.
  • where - Filters to apply to the query before aggregation.

  see:

  EntityFilter

  • orderBy - Fields and aggregates to order the results by. The result can be ordered by groupBy fields, sum fields, average fields, min fields, max fields, and distinctCount fields.

aggregate

Performs an aggregation on the repository's entity type based on the specified options.

returns:

The result of the aggregation.

example:

// Aggregating  (summing the salary field across all items):
const totalSalary = await repo.aggregate({
  sum: ['salary'],
});
console.log(totalSalary.salary.sum); // Outputs the total sum of salaries

Arguments:

• options - The options for the aggregation.

query

An alternative form of fetching data from the API server, which is intended for operating on large numbers of entity objects.

It also has it's own paging mechanism that can be used n paging scenarios.

The query method doesn't return an array (as the find method) and instead returns an iterable QueryResult object which supports iterations using the JavaScript for await statement.

example:

for await (const task of taskRepo.query()) {
  // do something.
}

example:

const query = taskRepo.query({
  where: { completed: false },
  pageSize: 100,
})
const count = await query.count()
console.log('Paged: ' + count / 100)
let paginator = await query.paginator()
console.log(paginator.items.length)
if (paginator.hasNextPage) {
  paginator = await paginator.nextPage()
  console.log(paginator.items.length)
}

Arguments:

• options

  • load
  • include - An option used in the find and findFirst methods to specify which related entities should be included when querying the source entity. It allows you to eagerly load related data to avoid N+1 query problems.

  param:

  An object specifying the related entities to include, their options, and filtering criteria.

  Example usage:

  const orders = await customerRepo.find({
    include: {
      // Include the 'tags' relation for each customer.
      tags: true,
    },
  });

  In this example, the tags relation for each customer will be loaded and included in the query result.
