@paneljs/mikroorm

MikroORM adapter for PanelJS.

import { MikroORM } from "@mikro-orm/postgresql";
import { createAdmin } from "paneljs";
import { mount } from "@paneljs/express";
import { builtInAuthEntities, mikroormAdapter } from "@paneljs/mikroorm";

const orm = await MikroORM.init({
  clientUrl: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
  entities: [...appEntities, ...builtInAuthEntities({ identifier: "email" })],
});

const admin = createAdmin({
  adapter: mikroormAdapter({ orm }),
  auth: { mode: "built-in", identifier: "email" },
});

admin.register("User");
await mount(app, admin);

Peer dependency: @mikro-orm/core ^6.4.0. The host supplies the driver package (@mikro-orm/postgresql, @mikro-orm/mysql, …).

The ORM must already be initialized. Introspection reads live entity metadata. CRUD uses PanelJS query types and writes immediately (insert / nativeUpdate / nativeDelete) so admin requests do not depend on Unit of Work flush().

For built-in login, add builtInAuthEntities() to the ORM entities and set auth: { mode: "built-in", identifier: "email" }. mikroormAdapter supplies createAuthStore. External getCurrentUser still works if you skip those entities.

Do not register("ExpressAdminUser").

Create an operator with the shared CLI. The config exports an initialized adapter and built-in auth settings:

npx paneljs createsuperuser --config ./paneljs.config.mjs
