How to Update One-One Relation in TypeORM with Node.js and TypeScript

When working with relational databases, managing relationships between entities is a common challenge. In this post, we'll explore how to update a one-to-one relationship in TypeORM using Node.js and TypeScript. We will focus on how to update the Filter entity based on the associated Dataset entity by utilizing repositories.

Problem Overview

Consider you have two entities: Filter and Dataset. Both of these entities are related in a one-to-one manner. You want to update the information in the Filter entity when a corresponding Dataset entity is updated via an API call like .put('/dataset/:id/filter').

Let’s break down how to achieve this step by step.

Entities Definition

Before diving into the code update process, let's review the definitions of our entities. Here's how the entities look in TypeORM:

Step-by-Step Solution to Update the Filter Entity

Now, let's cover how to update the FilterEntity based on the DatasetEntity ID passed through the API. Here are the steps you need to follow:

Step 1: Retrieve the Filter Entity

Using the repository pattern provided by TypeORM, you can fetch the Filter entity associated with the dataset using its ID. What you need to do is:

Import the necessary repository.

Use .findOne() method to get the specific FilterEntity based on the dataset ID that you receive in the request parameters.

Step 2: Handle the Dataset Relationship

After retrieving the Filter entity:

Check if the dataset associated with the Filter entity exists.

If it doesn’t, throw an appropriate error.

Step 3: Update the Filter Attributes

Once the entity is validated:

Update the Filter entity’s attributes field using the values passed in the request body.

Step 4: Save Changes

Finally, save the updated Filter entity back to the database using the repository’s .save() method.

Here’s how the code looks altogether:

Important Consideration

You might need to ensure that the relationship setup in the FilterEntity is correct for your use case. Specifically, consider specifying the foreign key by updating the @ JoinColumn like so:

This setup ensures that TypeORM understands the relationship explicitly and helps you avoid any potential issues when retrieving and saving entities.

Conclusion

Updating a one-to-one relationship in TypeORM using Node.js and TypeScript involves a systematic approach to ensure data integrity and optimal relational mapping. By following the outlined steps above, you can seamlessly update your entities while maintaining a robust API structure.

Feel free to leverage this example in your projects and adapt it as necessary for your specific requirements. Happy coding!
