At field creation we are checking the availability of the name by
comparing it to the other fields' names' on the object; but for
composite fields the fields' names' as indicated in the repository do
not exactly match the column names' on the tables (e.g "createdBy" field
is actually represented by columns createdByName, createdBySource etc.).
In this PR we prevent the conflict with the standard composite fields'
names.
There is still room for errors with the custom composite fields: for
example a custom composite field "address" of type address on a custom
object "listing" will introduce the columns addressAddressStreet1,
addressAddressStreet2 etc. while we won't prevent the user from later
creating a custom field named "addressAddressStreet1".
For now I decided not to tackle this as this seem extremely edgy + would
impact performance on creation of all fields while never actually useful
(I think).
Calling `getObjectMetadata` from `WorkspaceCacheStorageService` in every
query was causing big performance issues. The `objectMetadataCollection`
is now part of the `WorkspaceInternalContext` so we only instance it
once in the `WorkspaceDatasourceFactory`.
Queries are now much faster, for instance for TimelineCalendar, it went
from ~450ms to 80ms.
This PR fixes a few bugs on TwentyORM:
- fix many to one relations that were not properly queries
- fix many to one relations that were not properly parsed
- compute datasource (or use from cache) at run-time and do not use
injected one that could be outdated
We still need to refactor it to simplify, I feel the API are too complex
and we have too many cache layers. Also the relation computation part is
very complex and bug prone
### Overview
This PR builds upon #5153, adding the ability to get a repository for
custom objects. The `entitySchema` is now generated for both standard
and custom objects based on metadata stored in the database instead of
the decorated `WorkspaceEntity` in the code. This change ensures that
standard objects with custom fields and relations can also support
custom objects.
### Implementation Details
#### Key Changes:
- **Dynamic Schema Generation:** The `entitySchema` for standard and
custom objects is now dynamically generated from the metadata stored in
the database. This shift allows for greater flexibility and
adaptability, particularly for standard objects with custom fields and
relations.
- **Custom Object Repository Retrieval:** A repository for a custom
object can be retrieved using `TwentyORMManager` based on the object's
name. Here's an example of how this can be achieved:
```typescript
const repository = await this.twentyORMManager.getRepository('custom');
/*
* `repository` variable will be typed as follows, ensuring that standard
fields and relations are properly typed:
* const repository: WorkspaceRepository<CustomWorkspaceEntity & {
* [key: string]: any;
* }>
*/
const res = await repository.find({});
```

This PR is replacing and removing all the raw queries and repositories
with the new `TwentyORM` and injection system using
`@InjectWorkspaceRepository`.
Some logic that was contained inside repositories has been moved to the
services.
In this PR we're only replacing repositories for calendar feature.

This PR is a follow up of PR #5153.
This one introduce some changes on how we're querying composite fields.
We can do:
```typescript
export class CompanyService {
constructor(
@InjectWorkspaceRepository(CompanyObjectMetadata)
private readonly companyObjectMetadataRepository: WorkspaceRepository<CompanyObjectMetadata>,
) {}
async companies(): Promise<CompanyObjectMetadata[]> {
// Old way
// const companiesFilteredByLinkLabel = await this.companyObjectMetadataRepository.find({
// where: { xLinkLabel: 'MyLabel' },
// });
// Result will return xLinkLabel property
// New way
const companiesFilteredByLinkLabel = await this.companyObjectMetadataRepository.find({
where: { xLink: { label: 'MyLabel' } },
});
// Result will return { xLink: { label: 'MyLabel' } } property instead of { xLinkLabel: 'MyLabel' }
return companiesFilteredByLinkLabel;
}
}
```
Also we can now inject `TwentyORMManage` class to manually create a
repository based on a given `workspaceId` using
`getRepositoryForWorkspace` function that way:
```typescript
export class CompanyService {
constructor(
// TwentyORMModule should be initialized
private readonly twentyORMManager,
) {}
async companies(): Promise<CompanyObjectMetadata[]> {
const repository = await this.twentyORMManager.getRepositoryForWorkspace(
'8bb6e872-a71f-4341-82b5-6b56fa81cd77',
CompanyObjectMetadata,
);
const companies = await repository.find();
return companies;
}
}
```
## Introduction
This PR introduces "TwentyORM," a custom ORM module designed to
streamline database interactions within our workspace schema, reducing
the need for raw SQL queries. The API mirrors TypeORM's to provide a
familiar interface while integrating enhancements specific to our
project's needs.
To facilitate this integration, new decorators prefixed with `Workspace`
have been implemented. These decorators are used to define entity
metadata more explicitly and are critical in constructing our schema
dynamically.
## New Features
- **Custom ORM System**: Named "TwentyORM," which aligns closely with
TypeORM for ease of use but is tailored to our application's specific
requirements.
- **Decorator-Driven Configuration**: Entities are now configured with
`Workspace`-prefixed decorators that clearly define schema mappings and
relationships directly within the entity classes.
- **Injectable Repositories**: Repositories can be injected similarly to
TypeORM, allowing for flexible and straightforward data management.
## Example Implementations
### Decorated Entity Definitions
Entities are defined with new decorators that outline table and field
metadata, relationships, and constraints. Here are examples of these
implementations:
#### Company Metadata Object
```typescript
@WorkspaceObject({
standardId: STANDARD_OBJECT_IDS.company,
namePlural: 'companies',
labelSingular: 'Company',
labelPlural: 'Companies',
description: 'A company',
icon: 'IconBuildingSkyscraper',
})
export class CompanyObjectMetadata extends BaseObjectMetadata {
@WorkspaceField({
standardId: COMPANY_STANDARD_FIELD_IDS.name,
type: FieldMetadataType.TEXT,
label: 'Name',
description: 'The company name',
icon: 'IconBuildingSkyscraper',
})
name: string;
@WorkspaceField({
standardId: COMPANY_STANDARD_FIELD_IDS.xLink,
type: FieldMetadataType.LINK,
label: 'X',
description: 'The company Twitter/X account',
icon: 'IconBrandX',
})
@WorkspaceIsNullable()
xLink: LinkMetadata;
@WorkspaceField({
standardId: COMPANY_STANDARD_FIELD_IDS.position,
type: FieldMetadataType.POSITION,
label: 'Position',
description: 'Company record position',
icon: 'IconHierarchy2',
})
@WorkspaceIsSystem()
@WorkspaceIsNullable()
position: number;
@WorkspaceRelation({
standardId: COMPANY_STANDARD_FIELD_IDS.accountOwner,
label: 'Account Owner',
description: 'Your team member responsible for managing the company account',
type: RelationMetadataType.MANY_TO_ONE,
inverseSideTarget: () => WorkspaceMemberObjectMetadata,
inverseSideFieldKey: 'accountOwnerForCompanies',
onDelete: RelationOnDeleteAction.SET_NULL,
})
@WorkspaceIsNullable()
accountOwner: WorkspaceMemberObjectMetadata;
}
```
#### Workspace Member Metadata Object
```typescript
@WorkspaceObject({
standardId: STANDARD_OBJECT_IDS.workspaceMember,
namePlural: 'workspaceMembers',
labelSingular: 'Workspace Member',
labelPlural: 'Workspace Members',
description: 'A workspace member',
icon: 'IconUserCircle',
})
@WorkspaceIsSystem()
@WorkspaceIsNotAuditLogged()
export class WorkspaceMemberObjectMetadata extends BaseObjectMetadata {
@WorkspaceField({
standardId: WORKSPACE_MEMBER_STANDARD_FIELD_IDS.name,
type: FieldMetadataType.FULL_NAME,
label: 'Name',
description: 'Workspace member name',
icon: 'IconCircleUser',
})
name: FullNameMetadata;
@WorkspaceRelation({
standardId: WORKSPACE_MEMBER_STANDARD_FIELD_IDS.accountOwnerForCompanies,
label: 'Account Owner For Companies',
description: 'Account owner for companies',
icon: 'IconBriefcase',
type: RelationMetadataType.ONE_TO_MANY,
inverseSideTarget: () => CompanyObjectMetadata,
inverseSideFieldKey: 'accountOwner',
onDelete: RelationOnDeleteAction.SET_NULL,
})
accountOwnerForCompanies: Relation
<CompanyObjectMetadata[]>;
}
```
### Injectable Repository Usage
Repositories can be directly injected into services, allowing for
streamlined query operations:
```typescript
export class CompanyService {
constructor(
@InjectWorkspaceRepository(CompanyObjectMetadata)
private readonly companyObjectMetadataRepository: WorkspaceRepository<CompanyObjectMetadata>,
) {}
async companies(): Promise<CompanyObjectMetadata[]> {
// Example queries demonstrating simple and relation-loaded operations
const simpleCompanies = await this.companyObjectMetadataRepository.find({});
const companiesWithOwners = await this.companyObjectMetadataRepository.find({
relations: ['accountOwner'],
});
const companiesFilteredByLinkLabel = await this.companyObjectMetadataRepository.find({
where: { xLinkLabel: 'MyLabel' },
});
return companiesFilteredByLinkLabel;
}
}
```
## Conclusions
This PR sets the foundation for a decorator-driven ORM layer that
simplifies data interactions and supports complex entity relationships
while maintaining clean and manageable code architecture. This is not
finished yet, and should be extended.
All the standard objects needs to be migrated and all the module using
the old decorators too.
