🚨 How to hack your Node.js application (which uses TypeORM)?
Among Node.js developers there is a constant struggle to choose the best ORM library. I most often choose TypeORM in my projects and although I think it is the best ORM, it has its drawbacks. In today's article, I'll show you how you can stupidly make a huge mistake and let your application be hacked by accidentally granting root access. It may sound spicy, but it is! 🌶
Virtual Column solutions for TypeORM
If you are an experienced Node.js developer and use the TypeORM library in your project, you must have encountered the problem of creating a virtual field in the data model. We need this field in order to be able to return an additional result in the response, but we don't want to store it directly in the database. What you are most likely looking for should be named .addSelectAndMap(), @VirtualColumn() or Computed Column decorator.
