MedusaJs Product Review update

[paper agate]

I was following the tutorial on adding a product review to my MedusaJs Store and ran into a lot of errors
this is the link to the tutorial:
https://medusajs.com/blog/how-to-add-product-reviews-to-your-medusa-server-and-next-js-storefront/
it uses Javascript and not the Typescript version of Medusa which causes a lot of errors. Also defining the EntityRepository is deprecated.

is there any other tutorial teaching the basics of defining new entities and using them inside of new routes for a beginner ?
It would be wonderful if someone could do a rewrite of this useful feature with the updated libraries

Here is a more updated version that was based initially on the tutorial. I haven't tested it yet with medusa 1.10. Planning to do that today. https://github.com/pevey/medusa-plugin-ratings

I am getting errors while building this project

const productReviewRepository = this.activeManager_.withRepository(this.productReviewRepository_)

Argument of type 'Repository<ProductReview>' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Repository<any> & Repository<ProductReview

If you are building it yourself instead of installing from npm, make sure you use yarn link for all of the peer dependencies.

You can also just copy the code from /src into your Medusa server src directory.

Thanks this approach worked but Im getting 404's on the route for the reviews.

That usually means the service is not being recognized. Are you using medusa v1.10? Try restarting the server, too.

You could just do yarn add medusa-plugin-ratings and add it to your plugin array in your config file

I am using
"@chrome thunderjs/admin": "^3.0.0",
"@chrome thunderjs/cache-inmemory": "^1.8.0",
"@chrome thunderjs/cache-redis": "^1.8.0",
"@chrome thunderjs/event-bus-local": "^1.8.0",
"@chrome thunderjs/event-bus-redis": "^1.8.0",
"@chrome thunderjs/medusa": "^1.8.0",
"@chrome thunderjs/medusa-cli": "^1.3.9"

Could it be related to redis ? Because I have not set that up

I really want to understand how to create new tables and new api routes for medusa. The only simple tutorial I found was the product review which implemented a useful feature on top of medusa, but unfortunately turned out to be very confusing. I have deleted and remade the database and restarted the server several times to no avail

It's unlikely other plugins are causing an issue. If you copy all the stuff from src into your medusa folder in a clean, v 1.10 install, and then do medusa migrations run, and then restart your backend, do the new routes still not work?

If you push your code to a github repo, I will take a look.
