Saving with an author object

You save Ann, then save a post with author: ann. Watch whether the user table is touched again.

main.ts
import { Entity, PrimaryGeneratedColumn, Column, OneToMany, ManyToOne, JoinColumn } from "typeorm";import { connect } from "./db"; @Entity()class User {  @PrimaryGeneratedColumn() id!: number;  @Column() name!: string;  @OneToMany(() => Post, (p) => p.author) posts!: Post[];} @Entity()class Post {  @PrimaryGeneratedColumn() id!: number;  @Column() title!: string;  @Column() authorId!: number;  @ManyToOne(() => User, (u) => u.posts)  @JoinColumn({ name: "authorId" }) author!: User;} async function main() {  const db = await connect([User, Post]);  const users = db.getRepository(User);  const posts = db.getRepository(Post);  const ann = await users.save(users.create({ name: "Ann" }));  const hi = await posts.save(posts.create({ title: "Hi", author: ann }));  console.log("post " + hi.id + " has authorId " + hi.authorId);}main();
