The package has been moved to official repository: https://github.com/SoftwareBrothers/adminjs-mikroorm

admin-bro-mikroorm

This is an unofficial admin-bro adapter which integrates MikroORM into admin-bro.

Note that this is a first release and it's currently tested using only the example setup found in this repository.

If you are having trouble integrating this adapter in your project, please open an issue and try to describe the problem with as many details as possible.

Installation

yarn

$ yarn add admin-bro-mikroorm

npm

$ npm i admin-bro-mikroorm

Usage

The plugin can be registered using standard AdminBro.registerAdapter method.

import { Database, Resource } from 'admin-bro-mikroorm';
import AdminBro from 'admin-bro';
import { validate } from 'class-validator';

const setupAdminBro = async () => {
  const orm = await MikroORM.init({
    entities: [User],
    dbName: process.env.DATABASE_NAME,
    type: 'postgresql',
    clientUrl: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
  });

  // MikroORM exposes it's entity manager through created ORM instance (`orm.em`) and it's required for
  // the adapter to run database queries. The static method `Resource.setORM` extracts required properties from your
  // ORM instance.
  Resource.setORM(orm);
  // If your entities use `class-validator` to validate data, you can inject it's validate method into the resource.
  Resource.validate = validate;
  AdminBro.registerAdapter({ Database, Resource });

  // You can instantiate AdminBro either by specifying all resources separately:
  const adminBro = new AdminBro({
    resources: [{ resource: User, options: {} }],
  });

  // Or by passing your ORM instance into `databases` property.
  const adminBro = new AdminBro({
    databases: [orm],
  });
  // You should choose to use either `resources` or `databases`
};

Example

An example project can be found in example-app directory.

Associations

Currently only ManyToOne and OneToOne relationships are supported due to current AdminBro's core limitations for adapter integrations. OneToMany and ManyToMany relationships can still be achieved through a combination of custom components and hooks.
