field linked with @relationId not found

hey,

I have an error when I want to filter my request on a field with the decorator @RelationId: Invalid column name 'companyId'

I’m trying to filter on this field using the crud decorator:

@Crud(User, {
  params: {
    companyId: 'number'
  }
})

and here are the attributes of my model:

export class User {
  // ...
  @ManyToOne(type => Company, company => company.members, { nullable: true })
  @JoinColumn({ name: 'company_id' })
  company?: Company;

  @RelationId((user: User) => user.company)
  companyId?: number;
}

for now the only way to fix it is to add the @column decorator in addition to the @RelationId on companyId field, but there is certainly some impacts by doing this.

Thanks !

Would be great to have this resolved, I often have entities that are foreign keyed, but for many of the queries, don’t actually need the foreign table values. All I need is the column value that has the foreign key in the primary table. But I can’t get it currently without performing the join. @RelationId solves this problem in typeorm, but it’s not useable in with nestjs/crud, since adding the @Column would lead to an invalid schema creation if the class were used to recreate the table in the database, as @bintzandt mentioned

Hey, I have some doubts that this issue is directly related to nestjx/crud. It seems to be a typeorm issue. What do you think?

I don’t think that this is a typeorm issue.

If I query the database using the typeorm Repository the @RelationId() fields are always provided. It seems that the crud package filters those fields from the Repository response.
