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

Answer 1

Defining the entities property in ormconfig.json as mentioned in the official documentation resolved this issue for me.

// This is your ormconfig.json file

...
"entities": ["dist/**/*.entity{.ts,.js}"]
