typedi: question: passing Container to TypeORM useContainer fails

In typeorm-typedi-extensions@0.4.1 has been added custom Container to register with TypeORM. So changing from:

import { Container } from "typedi";
import { useContainer } from "typeorm";
useContainer(Container);

to

import { Container } from "typeorm-typedi-extensions";
import { useContainer } from "typeorm";
useContainer(Container);

helps.

For now I have downgraded to typedi@0.8.0 and it’s working.

@danbeneventano here is a sample repository with steps to set it up and run it. it should fail because it cant inject the proper service.

I can confirm decorating all classes that fail with @Service() fix then issue. Even though it seems unnecessary, it’s good enough for now.

Just incase this helps someone. At the time of writing, I was experiencing the same issue while using the latest versions of the following dependencies. I was able to leave TypeOrm at its latest and simply downgraded typedi and typeorm-typedi-extensions to the versions listed below. Maybe this will help someone.

In my index.js (entry point) file.

... useContainer(Container); ...

"typedi": "^0.8.0", // downgraded
"typeorm": "^0.2.37", // curent latest
"typeorm-typedi-extensions": "^0.2.3", // downgraded

Working

Can you provide a snippet of the code that got it working?

You need to add the @Service decorator from TypeDI to every class you ever request from the container via Container.get().
