Model

Models represent tables in the database and are responsible for interacting with data. In Laratype, models are organized in the src/models directory.

Laratype is based on the TypeORM ORM to provide powerful features for data management, including methods to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) data.

Below is an example of how to create a model in Laratype:

typescript

import { Column, Entity, Model, PrimaryGeneratedColumn } from "@laratype/database"

@Entity()
export class User extends Model {
  @PrimaryGeneratedColumn()
  id: number

  @Column({ unique: true })
  email: string

  @Column({ select: false })
  password: string

  @Column()
  firstName: string

  @Column()
  lastName: string

  @Column()
  age: number

  static readonly fillable = [
    'email',
    'password',
    'firstName',
    'lastName',
    'age',
  ]
}

The fillable property defines fields that can be mass assigned. This helps protect against unwanted mass assignment attacks.

By default, Laratype will automatically hash passwords when you use the findOneBy, save, or create methods, and automatically remove the password field when you use the findOne method.
