TypeORM Entity in NESTJS - Cannot use import statement outside a module

Question

Started new project with \'nest new\' command. Works fine until I add entity file to it.

Got following error:

import { Entity, Column, Primary

You need to have a something.module.ts for every section of your app. It works like Angular. This is setup with GraphQL resolvers and service. REST is a bit different with a controller. Each module will probably have an entity and if GraphQL, projects.schema.graphql.

projects.module.ts

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { TypeOrmModule } from '@nestjs/typeorm';
import { ProjectsService } from './projects.service';
import { Projects } from './projects.entity';

import { ProjectsResolvers } from './projects.resolvers';

@Module({
  imports: [
    TypeOrmModule.forFeature([Projects])],
  providers: [
    ProjectsService,
    ProjectsResolvers
  ],

})

export class ProjectsModule {}
