nest-typeorm-seeder

NestJS module for typeorm-seeder. Runs your @Seeder classes automatically on application bootstrap — once per seeder by default, tracked in a database table so watch-mode restarts do not re-seed.

Installation

# npm
npm install @joakimbugge/nest-typeorm-seeder @joakimbugge/typeorm-seeder

# yarn
yarn add @joakimbugge/nest-typeorm-seeder @joakimbugge/typeorm-seeder

# pnpm

The peer dependencies (@nestjs/common, @nestjs/core, typeorm, reflect-metadata) are required, but if you are adding this to an existing NestJS + TypeORM project they are already present.

Quick example

Import SeederModule in your root module. It auto-detects the DataSource registered by TypeOrmModule:

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common'
import { TypeOrmModule } from '@nestjs/typeorm'
import { SeederModule } from '@joakimbugge/nest-typeorm-seeder'
import { UserSeeder } from './seeders/UserSeeder.js'

@Module({
  imports: [
    TypeOrmModule.forRoot({ ... }),
    SeederModule.forRoot({ seeders: [UserSeeder] }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}
