Alright so I've been trying to search Mikro-ORM's docs to find how to pass in native sql query params in but I haven't been able to find anything. After playing with the code a bit this is what it looks like which I think is sort of right but I'm getting this error

error: SELECT DISTINCT * FROM direct_messages WHERE receiver_id = $1 OR sender_id = $1 ORDER BY sent_at DESC - there is no parameter $1

My code currently looks like this

@Query(() => String)
  async Conversations(@Ctx() { em, userData }: MyContext): Promise<string> {
    const connection = em.getConnection();
    const queryString = `SELECT DISTINCT * FROM direct_messages WHERE receiver_id = $1 OR sender_id = $1 ORDER BY sent_at DESC`;
    return await connection
      .execute(queryString, [userData['sub']])
      .then((results) => {
        console.log(results);
        return 'worked';
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        console.log(error);
        return 'Failed';
      });
  }

Just for some context userData['sub'] is the userID of type string from the googleOAuth API. Thank you!

CodePudding user response：

You need to use ? instead of $1 in the raw query. This is how knex, the underlying query builder, works.

const connection = em.getConnection();
const queryString = `SELECT DISTINCT * FROM direct_messages WHERE receiver_id = ? OR sender_id = ? ORDER BY sent_at DESC`;
return await connection
  .execute(queryString, [userData['sub'], userData['sub']])

Alternatively you could use knex's named bindings, which is similar (allows to use one parameter multiple times in the query):

// the `em` needs to be typed to `SqlEntityManager` to have the `getKnex` method
const knex = em.getKnex();
const qb = knex.raw('SELECT DISTINCT * FROM direct_messages WHERE receiver_id = :id OR sender_id = :id ORDER BY sent_at DESC', { id: userData['sub'] });
const res = await em.execute(qb);
// ...

Or the MikroORM query builder has qb.raw() method that is just a shortcut to em.getKnex().raw():
