proposal-decorators VS TypeORM

Because many rules are common to many attributes (the coerceType operation is defined by WebIDL, or using similar rules, and the HTML specification defines a handful of microsyntaxes for the parseValue and stringifyValue operations), those could be packaged up in a helper library. And with decorators coming to ECMAScript (and already available in TypeScript), those could be greatly simplified:

Decorators are currently not a part of the standard JavaScript language. They are still being discussed in tc39 and have reached proposal stage 3. This means the spec has more or less stabilized and we can use them but they would be transplied before being run in the browser. This would be done via babel or tsc for most users

JavaScript was created a long time ago, and at the time of its inception, the authors decided not to use affirmative prefixes for boolean names. Now, they do their best by continuing to follow their convention, even if it goes against the community's opinion. Even if the authors wanted to introduce new naming conventions in the specification, they could not do it, at least not coherently. Old code cannot be renamed because JavaScript must remain backward-compatible. And starting to write new code using new approaches is not a great idea either, as there would be two ways to do the same thing, which is also undesirable.

2016-07 – Stage 2. After the decorators proposal reached stage 2, its API began to undergo significant changes. Furthermore, at one point the proposal was referred to as "ESnext class features for JavaScript." During its development, there were numerous ideas about how decorators could be structured. To get a comprehensive view of the entire history of changes, I recommend reviewing the commits in the proposal's repository. Here is an example of what the decorators API used to look like:

The example you've given isn't valid JavaScript, JS doesn't have decorators. (Although there is a stage 3 tc39 for it, afaik no browser has implemented it)

There was a decorators issue brought up in the meeting (issue 508) and decorators metadata, as noted in the article, is now at stage 3. So there's still active work being done on decorators. If I had to guess, I'd say they'd be a likely candidate for ES2024.

As per the proposal, decorators can be used with Classes and their elements such as fields, methods, and accessors. To leverage this feature, we need to ensure that our resolvers provider is an instance of a Class. Therefore, we will modify the code in src/api/users/users-resolvers.js to the following:

The modern version of decorators, which will be officially rolled out in TypeScript 5.0, no longer requires a compiler flag and follows the official ECMAScript Stage-3 proposal. Alongside a stable implementation that follows ECMAScript standards, decorators now work seamlessly with the TypeScript type system, enabling more enhanced functionality than the original version.

100% this. Going in depth of libraries will make you so much better developer than learning newest and coolest frameworks in JS ecosystem. Learn to create your own React, Promises, or anything you like in JS. It will give you immense perspective about these libraries. Once you start understanding them you will feel like they are not that complex and you can do it too. Go read TC39 proposals and issues people point out in them. You will see how JS is borrowing features from other languages.

The actual proposal gives the "@reactive" decorator as the first example, which just so happens is the only decorator that I use in my library with TypeScript's legacy decorator option. Was so happy to see they recognize this use case! https://github.com/tc39/proposal-decorators

If you use Sequalize, TypeORM or for MongoDB, we have Mongoose these types of ORM tools, then you are safe by default because these help us against the SQL query injection attacks by default.

We decided to use MySQL for a database. and TypeOrm for ORM. The ER diagram is provided below. For example, the task_assignments table holds information about user assignments to tasks. While in DDD, there is a pattern to design denormalized tables that reflect the structure of domain objects more directly, but this time, a more conventional table design was chosen. TypeOrm models:

How does this compare to using directly an ORM lib that supports browser like TypeORM [0] via SQL.js [1]?

* Patch a third-party library that was setting an HTTP header to `null`. NodeJS handles this case just fine, but Deno throws an error [2].

After all of that work, I finally was able to use Deno in my project. It was really cool! Unfortunately, both VS Code and IntelliJ with Deno are essentially unusable [3]. Or, at least, unacceptably slow compared to what I had with NodeJS.

TypeORM is a very convenient ORM for JS apps. We use it with NestJS and running it on NodeJS.

We are going to start using TypeORM as an ORM to help us interact with Postgres, but we also have an example of using Prisma in the future and everything that we have to adapt to switch the ORMs if necessary. At the end we are implementing neon.tech as a production database, right? 😉

TypeORM is a popular Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library for Node.js. It provides a high-level abstraction over relational databases, making it easy to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.

TypeORM places its focus on TypeScript and JavaScript (ES7+) development. It offers compatibility with various database systems, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MongoDB. What sets TypeORM apart is its robust integration with TypeScript. It provides a user-friendly experience with a convenient decorator-based syntax for defining entities and relationships. Additionally, TypeORM supports the repository pattern and enables eager loading, enhancing its versatility for developers.

ᴬ typeorm officially supports mssql@v9, but the support for the custom stream builder was added in mssql@v10. Since mssql is a peer dependency of typeorm, you can force override it and use the Cloud SQL Connector with typeorm. There is an open PR to add support for mssql@v10 in typeorm.
