Using Repositories

Now let’s refactor our code and use Repository instead of EntityManager.Each entity has its own repository which handles all operations with its entity.When you deal with entities a lot, Repositories are more convenient to use than EntityManagers:

import {createConnection} from "typeorm";
import {Photo} from "./entity/Photo";
createConnection(/*...*/).then(async connection => {
    let photo = new Photo();
    photo.name = "Me and Bears";
    photo.description = "I am near polar bears";
    photo.filename = "photo-with-bears.jpg";
    photo.views = 1;
    photo.isPublished = true;
    let photoRepository = connection.getRepository(Photo);
    await photoRepository.save(photo);
    console.log("Photo has been saved");
    let savedPhotos = await photoRepository.find();
    console.log("All photos from the db: ", savedPhotos);
}).catch(error => console.log(error));
