nestjs VS typeorm

When you're going to use RabbitMQ I would advise to use the RabbitMQ library at https://github.com/golevelup/nestjs. It's way more flexible than the default RabbitMQ microservice.

For this, I'm going to be using a package called @golevelup/nestjs-modules to help with the creation of the dynamic module. Instead of having to set up the entire forRoot and forRootAsync methods, we can extend a mixin and let the package take care of the setup for us. everything in this article will work without the package, I just like using it for the sake of simplicity. So, lets dive into setting up our AuthModule to be a dynamic module. First we need to create our injection token for the options

import { Injectable, NestMiddleware } from '@nestjs/common' import { json } from 'body-parser' /** * Copied this middleware to parse the raw response into a param to use later * from https://github.com/golevelup/nestjs/blob/master/packages/webhooks/src/webhooks.middleware.ts */ @Injectable() export class RawBodyMiddleware implements NestMiddleware { public constructor() {} public use(req: Request, res: Response, next: () => any): any { json({ verify: (req: any, res, buffer) => { if (Buffer.isBuffer(buffer)) { const rawBody = Buffer.from(buffer) req['parsedRawBody'] = rawBody } return true }, })(req, res as any, next) } }

The easiest thing to do is just mock all of a services methods with jest mock functions. I like to do that with this library: https://github.com/golevelup/nestjs/tree/master/packages/testing

Also, re: TypeORM - first, it looks like they've forked it. (https://github.com/nestjs/typeorm) -- I'm not sure how maintained it is. On their docs they've got a few different recipes for using different ORM solutions -- there's an article for sequelize, mongoose, -- but it looks like you can plug in anything you desire. For my two cents, I really dislike ORMs in javascript and would likely opt for using the database driver(s) directly.
