Hey nice video! It helped a lot! Also is there a way to check if the database exist and create if not, in typeOrm?

[dawid_dahl]

Extremely grateful for these videos. Thank you so much!

Awesome video Ben as always! And too, if some is using MySQL like me, the table's definition needs to be like this:

export class User {
@PrimaryGeneratedColumn() id: number;

@Column({ type: "varchar", unique: true })
email: string;

@Column({ default: false })
confirmed: boolean;

@Column({ type: "varchar", length: "238" })
firstName: string;

@Column("text") lastName: string;

@Column() age: number;
}

Especially in email and confirmed fields, because MySQL works a little different in the bool and text types :)

Hi Ben, are you going to be doing a tutorial with TypeORM and React / React Native?

Ben you are a man of great talent. Questions for you... since you have been around the horn on sequelize, prisma and typeorm, where are your leanings? Also, what key benefits bend your preference to graphql-yoga?

Hi Ben, have you used joinmonster with typescript and typeorm before? I really like joinmonster. Typeorm looks promising. So far no complaints about sequelize though.
