Usecase:
We want to add a relation Product to User (called owner) to implement an ownership. For access controll we only need the user id from the product to compare it with the activeUserId of the RequestContext. Right now, the user needs to be eagerly loaded to access the id, therefore it would be awesome if we could just access the id directly from the column in the entity table
Instead of:
product.customFields.owner.id
We could directly access the id via:
product.customFields.ownerId
Describe the solution you'd like
For own entities we can achieve this in TypeORM by adding a relational definition and a defintion of the relation id to an entity:
@OneToOne(() => User, { onDelete: 'CASCADE' })
owner: User; // This will add the column ownerId to the entity
@EntityId()
ownerId: ID; // With this we can directly access the data from the columnThis TypeORM definition should be created by a custom fields configuration like this:
config.customFields.Product.push({
name: 'owner',
nullable: true,
type: 'relation',
entity: User,
public: false,
readonly: true,
withId: true, // a option like this could add the extra definition
});To prevent breaking changes, the option shall be false by default for the next minor versions.
