• All the required GET/DELETE/POST/UPDATE endpoints for the TypeORM repository.
• List endpoint contains: pagination, order, search, filter options.
• filter options contains: =, gt, gte, lt, lte

nestjs-methodSet is influenced by ViewSet in Django Rest Framework

Installation

npm i nestjs-methodset

in main.ts add following to the app:

import { ValidationPipe } from '@nestjs/common';
...
  app.useGlobalPipes(new ValidationPipe({ transform: true }));

Code

• Simply extends MethodSet in your controller and you done. Make sure to have the repository in your controller dependencies!

import { MethodSet } from 'nestjs-methodset';

@Controller({ path: 'article' })
export class ArticleController extends MethodSet<ArticleEntity> {
	constructor(
		@InjectRepository(ArticleEntity)
		protected readonly repository: Repository<ArticleEntity>
	) {
