@adminjs/mikroorm

adminjs-mikroorm

This is an official AdminJS adapter which integrates MikroORM into AdminJS.

Installation

yarn

$ yarn add @adminjs/mikroorm

npm

$ npm i @adminjs/mikroorm

Usage

The plugin can be registered using standard AdminJS.registerAdapter method.

import { Database, Resource } from '@adminjs/mikroorm';
import AdminJS from 'adminjs';
import { validate } from 'class-validator';

const setupAdminJs = async () => {
  const orm = await MikroORM.init({
    entities: [User],
    dbName: process.env.DATABASE_NAME,
    type: 'postgresql',
    clientUrl: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
  });

  // If your entities use `class-validator` to validate data, you can inject it's validate method into the resource.
  Resource.validate = validate;
  AdminJS.registerAdapter({ Database, Resource });

  // You can instantiate AdminJS either by specifying all resources separately:
  const adminJs = new AdminJS({
    resources: [{ resource: { model: User, orm }, options: {} }],
  });

  // Or by passing your ORM instance into `databases` property.
  const adminJs = new AdminJS({
    databases: [orm],
  });
  // You should choose to use either `resources` or `databases`
};

Example

An example project can be found in example-app directory.

Associations

Currently only ManyToOne and OneToOne relationships are supported due to current AdminJS's core limitations for adapter integrations. OneToMany and ManyToMany relationships can still be achieved through a combination of custom components and hooks.
