Steps to reproduce or a small repository showing the problem:

Hello!

So I’ve got this entity:

@Entity()
class User extends BaseEntity {
  @PrimaryGeneratedColumn() id: number;

  @Column({ type: "text", unique: true })
  @IsEmail()
  email: string;

  @Column({ type: "bigint", nullable: true })
  facebookId: number;

  @Column({ type: "text" })
  firstName: string;

  @Column({ type: "text" })
  lastName: string;
}
export default User;

And later on in my code I’m trying to do:

const user: User = await User.findOne({ email: "[e-mail]" });

But I’m getting an error that says:

Property 'findOne' does not exist on type 'User'

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers!

User is your entity. So yeah, that won’t work.

Try: getRepository(User).findOne({ email: "[e-mail]" });

@cjackson234 actually he used active record model and extends BaseEntity so all those methods are available for him in a user class.
