You can use TypeORM in connection with the cordova-sqlite-storage
plugin in your Ionic app.
This project demonstrates how that would work.
To run this example in production or development mode you have to make sure, ionic
and cordova
are installed globally on your machine. After that you can install all necessary dependencies for running this example.
Check if npm
is installed. Otherwise please install node.js
and npm
.
npm -v
Install ionic and cordova command line interface globally.
npm install -g cordova ionic
Install all dependencies listed in package.json
.
npm install
ionic serve
Add an iOS or Android to the project.
ionic cordova platform add ios
# or
ionic cordova platform add android
Run the app on your device.
ionic cordova run ios
# or
ionic cordova run android
For further information please read ionic's deployment guide.
Install the plugin
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-sqlite-storage --save
Install TypeORM
npm install typeorm --save
Install node.js-Types
npm install @types/node --save-dev
Add "typeRoots": ["node_modules/@types"]
to your tsconfig.json
under compilerOptions
Create a custom webpack config file like the one included in this project to use the correct TypeORM version and add the config file to your package.json
(Required with TypeORM >= 0.1.7)
Since Ionic make a lot of optimizations while building for production, the following limitations will occur:
Entities have to be marked with the table name (eg @Entity('table_name')
)
getRepository()
has to be called with the name of the entity instead of the class (eg getRepository('post') as Repository<Post>
)
Date fields are not supported:
@Column()
birthdate: Date;
