Which decorator to use to mark a property as a column in TypeORM?
답변
The @Column() decorator transforms a class property into a database column. TypeORM automatically infers the SQL type from the TypeScript type, but it can be explicitly specified with @Column('varchar', { length: 255 }). This decorator is essential for all columns except the primary key.
3What is the difference between @PrimaryColumn() and @PrimaryGeneratedColumn()?
What is the difference between @PrimaryColumn() and @PrimaryGeneratedColumn()?
답변
@PrimaryGeneratedColumn() creates a primary key auto-incremented by the database, ideal for numeric identifiers. @PrimaryColumn() defines a primary key whose value must be provided manually, useful for UUID identifiers or composite keys. For most cases, using @PrimaryGeneratedColumn() is simpler and safer.
