# TypeScript Node.js template
This is a template for Node.js applications using TypeScript and TypeORM.
## Customization
- To replace PostgreSQL with SQLite: remove `pg`, install either `sqlite3` or `better-sqlite3`,
and replace `postgres` in `src/db/index.ts:8` with `sqlite` or `better-sqlite3` (depending on which you installed)
- To use the Active Record pattern, make entity classes extend `BaseEntity`.
## Configuration
Add configuration keys to `src/config.ts`.
## Development commands
- Building the project: `pnpm build`
- Migrating the database: `pnpm migrate`
- Watching for changes and reloading the project automatically: `pnpm dev`
- Formatting: `pnpm format`
- Check types: `pnpm typecheck`
- Linting (if you don't have an ESLint plugin): `pnpm lint`
## Creating migrations
Creating migrations is a little awkward because TypeORM expects `ts-node`, which uses `tsc`.
To create a migration, first run `pnpm build`,
then run `pnpm typeorm migration:generate -p -d ./dist/db/index.js ./src/db/migrations/<name>`,
replacing `<name>` with the name of the migration you're creating.
Then rename the created file to end in `.js` and remove the TypeScript-specific code from it.
(Yes, this is incredibly janky, but it works, and it only needs to be done once per migration, actually migrating works flawlessly)
