MikroORM adapter for AdminJS
npm install @adminjs/mikroormThis is an official AdminJS adapter which integrates MikroORM into AdminJS.
yarn
``bash`
$ yarn add @adminjs/mikroorm
npm
`bash`
$ npm i @adminjs/mikroorm
The plugin can be registered using standard AdminJS.registerAdapter method.
`typescript
import { Database, Resource } from '@adminjs/mikroorm';
import AdminJS from 'adminjs';
import { validate } from 'class-validator';
const setupAdminJs = async () => {
const orm = await MikroORM.init({
entities: [User],
dbName: process.env.DATABASE_NAME,
type: 'postgresql',
clientUrl: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
});
// If your entities use class-validator to validate data, you can inject it's validate method into the resource.
Resource.validate = validate;
AdminJS.registerAdapter({ Database, Resource });
// You can instantiate AdminJS either by specifying all resources separately:
const adminJs = new AdminJS({
resources: [{ resource: { model: User, orm }, options: {} }],
});
// Or by passing your ORM instance into databases property.resources
const adminJs = new AdminJS({
databases: [orm],
});
// You should choose to use either or databases`
};
An example project can be found in example-app directory.
Currently only ManyToOne and OneToOne relationships are supported due to current AdminJS's core limitationsOneToMany
for adapter integrations. and ManyToMany relationships can still be achieved through a combination of custom components and hooks.
If you want to set this up locally this is the suggested process:
1. Fork the repo
2. Install dependencies
``
yarn install
3. Register this package as a linked package
``
yarn link
4. Setup example app
Install all dependencies and use previously linked version of @adminjs/mikroorm.
``
cd example-app
yarn install
yarn link "@adminjs/mikroorm"
Optionally you might want to link your local version of adminjs package
5. Make sure you have all the envs set (see ./example-app/example.env and create an .env file based on that)
6. Build the package in watch mode
(in the root folder)
``
yarn dev
6. Run the app in the dev mode
``
cd example-app
yarn dev
Before you make a PR make sure all tests pass and your code wont causes linter errors.
You can do this by running:
``
yarn lint
yarn test
Make sure you have an .env file in project's root directory for the test runner to use:```
DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:@localhost:5433/mikroorm_test
DATABASE_NAME=mikroorm_test
