Here is an example of the issue that occurs sometimes and I still don't know why.
All you need to care about is order_year, and BeforeUpdate hook
Entity:
@Entity('order')
@Index('UQ_ORDER_NUMBER_YEAR', ['order_year', 'order_number'], { unique: true })
@ObjectType()
export class Order extends BaseUUIDEntity {
@Field(() => Int, { nullable: false })
@Column({ type: 'text' })
order_number!: number;
@Field(() => Date, { nullable: false })
@Column({ type: 'timestamp' })
order_date!: Date;
@Field({ nullable: false })
@Column({ type: 'text' })
order_year!: string;
@Field(() => Customer, { nullable: false })
@ManyToOne(() => Customer, { lazy: true })
customer!: Customer;
@BeforeInsert()
@BeforeUpdate()
setOrderYear() {
this.order_year = new Date(this.order_date).getFullYear().toString();
}
}
Repository:
async updateOrder(
{ id, ...order }: UpdateOrderDto,
entityManager?: EntityManager,
): Promise<Order> {
try {
const manager = this.getManager(entityManager);
await manager.update(Order, id, order);
return manager.findOne(Order, {
where: { id },
}) as Promise<Order>;
} catch (error) {
throw this.handleDatabaseError(error);
}
}
I make a request which triggers the update method.
Here is what the data looks like before the update:
{
"order_date": "2025-05-10T10:53:23.619Z",
"order_year": "2025"
}
Here is after updating:
{
"order_date": "2010-05-10T10:53:23.619Z",
"order_year": "2025"
}```
The hook never triggers
I know there are better ways to modify the value of order_year, but that isn't why I'm here, I want to know why the hook does not trigger.
