surrealdb nestjs 9 dynamic module wrapper on top of surrealdb.js driver, with DataLoaders, Subscriptions and BaseClasses to generate CRUD from simple DTOs and using Schemaless SurrealDb Scheme.....

Create a new NestJs Application

Setting up a new project is quite simple with the Nest CLI. With npm installed, you can create a new Nest project with the following commands in your OS terminal:

$ nest new surrealdb-graphql
? Which package manager would you ❤️  to use? 
  npm 
❯ yarn 
  pnpm

Installing the required packages and create a simple graphql app

$ cd tutorial-graphql
$ yarn add @nestjs/graphql @nestjs/apollo @nestjs/config @apollo/server apollo-server-express graphql graphql-subscriptions graphql-query-complexity class-transformer @graphql-tools/utils @koakh/nestjs-surrealdb @koakh/nestjs-dataloader

CleanUp non used Files

# remove unused files
$ rm src/app.controller.spec.ts src/app.controller.ts src/app.service.ts

Add .env File

.env

GRAPHQL_SERVER_PORT="3030"
GRAPHQL_AUTO_SCHEMA_FILE='./schema.gql'
SURREALDB_URL="ws://127.0.0.1:8000/rpc"
SURREALDB_NAMESPACE="test"
SURREALDB_DATABASE="test"
SURREALDB_USERNAME="root"
SURREALDB_PASSWORD="root"

Change AppModule

configure ConfigModule, SurrealDbModule and GraphQLModule

replace src/app.module.ts with

import { SurrealDbModule } from '@koakh/nestjs-surrealdb';
import { ApolloDriver, ApolloDriverConfig } from '@nestjs/apollo';
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { ConfigModule, ConfigService } from '@nestjs/config';
import { GraphQLModule } from '@nestjs/graphql';
import { join } from 'path';

@Module({
  imports: [
    ConfigModule.forRoot({
      isGlobal: true,
    }),
    SurrealDbModule.forRootAsync(SurrealDbModule, {
      useFactory: async (configService: ConfigService) => ({
        url: configService.get('SURREALDB_URL'),
        namespace: configService.get('SURREALDB_NAMESPACE'),
        database: configService.get('SURREALDB_DATABASE'),
        username: configService.get('SURREALDB_USERNAME'),
        password: configService.get('SURREALDB_PASSWORD'),
      }),
      imports: [AppModule],
      inject: [ConfigService],
    }),
    GraphQLModule.forRootAsync<ApolloDriverConfig>({
      driver: ApolloDriver,
      imports: [ConfigModule],
      inject: [ConfigService],
      useFactory: async (configService: ConfigService) => ({
        autoSchemaFile: join(
          process.cwd(),
          configService.get<string>('GRAPHQL_AUTO_SCHEMA_FILE'),
        ),
        installSubscriptionHandlers: true,
        formatError: (err) => {
          if (err.extensions.code === 'INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR') {
            return new Error(err.message);
          }
          return err;
        },
      }),
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

now we can use surrealDb: SurrealDbService like any other NestJs provider ex

@Injectable()
export class RecipesService extends BaseService<Type<Recipe>, BaseFindAllArgs, CreateRecipeInput, UpdateRecipeInput> {
  constructor(protected readonly surrealDb: SurrealDbService) {
    super(surrealDb);
    this.entityName = Recipe;
  }
}
