Typeorm ignoring @column name of columns

Question

I'm trying to delete some records from a entity, but typeorm is not using the @Column definition os the entity, thus performing a invalid sql:

@Entity('table')
export class TableEntity implements Table {
  @Column({ name: 'user_id' })
  @PrimaryColumn()
  userId: number;
   ...
}

this.repository.delete({
   userId: 1
})

DELETE FROM "table" WHERE "userId" = $1

and not

DELETE FROM "table" where "user_id" = $1

as I expected. Why?

Answer 1

This issue is probably long time solved by the author, but for those who ended up here from Google like me:

@PrimaryColumn() resets information previously provided by @Column().

So, instead of writing

@Column({ name: 'user_id' })
@PrimaryColumn()
userId: number;

one should write

@PrimaryColumn({ name: 'user_id' })
userId: number;

Have a great coding time guys!
