Interface: CreateOptions<T>

Defined in: seed/creator.ts:32

Options for create and createMany on the single-class form. Extends SeedContext with a typed values override map.

Extends

• SeedContext

Type Parameters

T

T extends EntityInstance

Properties

dataSource?

optional dataSource?: DataSource;

Defined in: seed/registry.ts:20

The TypeORM DataSource. Automatically set by save/saveMany calls. Also available in factory callbacks — useful for looking up existing entities instead of creating new ones:

Example

@Seed(async ({ dataSource }) => dataSource.getRepository(Role).findOneByOrFail({ name: 'admin' }))
role!: Role

Inherited from

SeedContext.dataSource

---

relations?

optional relations?: boolean;

Defined in: seed/registry.ts:29

Set to false to skip automatic relation seeding. Scalar and embedded properties are still seeded; only relation properties decorated with a bare @Seed() are skipped. Useful when you want to create flat entities and wire relations yourself.

Default

true

Inherited from

SeedContext.relations

---

values?

optional values?: SeedValues<T>;

Defined in: seed/creator.ts:42

Property values to apply after all @Seed factories have run. Wins unconditionally — factories still execute but their output is overwritten. Also works for properties that have no @Seed decorator.

Example

const user = await dataSource.getRepository(User).findOneByOrFail({ name: 'Alice' })
const post = await seed(Post).create({ values: { author: user } })
