Mixing
How should I specify the DATABASE_URL in ormconfig.json?
I am trying to deploy my Vesper server to Heroku and Vesper requires an ormconfig.json file.
This works just fine when I use my local db because I can fill out all the fields that will combine into the connection string. However, when I add a db in Heroku I just get the full url and I can't find where to put it.
This is my ormconfig.json right now.
{
"type": "postgres",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 5432,
"username": "postgres",
"password": "password",
"database": "test",
"synchronize": true,
"entities": ["target/entity/**/*.js"],
"migrations": ["target/migrations/*.js"],
"cli": {
"migrationsDir": "src/migrations"
}
}
I'm hoping I could replace most fields with just the database_url but I can't find any documentation stating under what name I should put it.

You can use an url parser for heroku env var parsing such as pg-connection-string https://www.npmjs.com/package/pg-connection-string
Then you use the createConnection function given by TypeOrm to initialize TypeOrm on the server side.
import * as PostgressConnectionStringParser from "pg-connection-string";
const databaseUrl: string = process.env.DATABASE_URL;
const connectionOptions = PostgressConnectionStringParser.parse(databaseUrl);
const typeOrmOptions: PostgresConnectionOptions = {
type: "postgres",
name: connectionOptions.name,
host: connectionOptions.host,
port: connectionOptions.port,
username: connectionOptions.username,
password: connectionOptions.password,
database: connectionOptions.database,
synchronize: true,
entities: ["target/entity/**/*.js"],
extra: {
ssl: true
}
};
const connection = createConnection(typeOrmOptions);
...
If you manage different configurations, you will probably have to modify this snippet so you can enable / disable ssl depending on the environment for instance (no ssl in dev mode, ts-node fetches entities in .ts format, etc...).
If you really need to generate ormconfig.json, then I'm afraid you have to generate the file from a script file, with the former code, just add a write part:
...
const json = JSON.stringify(typeOrmOptions, null, 2);
fs.writeFile("./target/ormconfig.json", json, (err) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
return;
}
console.log("File has been created");
});
