TypeORM overview

TypeORM is a popular and mature ORM library for TypeScript and JavaScript. It provides a way to interact with relational databases using an object-oriented approach, abstracting away many low-level database operations.

In this course, we chose TypeORM as the ORM option for its popularity, active community support, and seamless integration with NestJS.

While focusing on TypeORM, the fundamental concepts and principles we cover—such as CRUD operations, query building, and managing relationships—transcend the choice of ORM library. The knowledge gained here will provide a solid foundation that can be applied and adapted to other ORM libraries.

Some of the key features of TypeORM include the following:

  • Comprehensive database support: TypeORM supports relational databases and NoSQL databases, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL server, SQLite, and MongoDB.
