[SOLVED] Why don't I automatically write time information to @CreateDateColumn?

Why don't I automatically write time information to @CreateDateColumn?

this's my datebase column info;

`create_time` datetime DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'Create Time',
`update_time` datetime DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'Update Time',

and this's my entity


  @CreateDateColumn({ type: 'datetime', name: 'create_time' })
  createTime: Date

  @UpdateDateColumn({ type: 'datetime', name: 'update_time' })
  updateTime: Date

and this's my save code

      const userRepo = this.userRepository.create(userDto);
      console.log('Before save:', userRepo);
      const user = await this.userRepository.save(userRepo);
      console.log('After save:', user);

Using the @CreateDateColumn column, typeORM should automatically write to the data database & table, but the current write execution does not automatically handle the data write of this createTime.

console result

Before save: UserEntity {
  nickName: 'me@mail.sslpool.cn',
  email: 'me@mail.sslpool.cn',
  passwd: '123456'
}

query: COMMIT
After save: UserEntity {

  userCode: '61b717767173',
  id: 1,
  createTime: null,
  updateTime: null
}

I've minimized the processing and didn't actually do the autowrite

Solution

I think the error occurs because you have configured the wrong data type for the createTime and updateTime fields. The datetime data type does not have the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP value so the system can generate the data itself. You can change the following:

  @CreateDateColumn({ name: 'create_time' })
  createTime: Date

  @UpdateDateColumn({ name: 'update_time' })
  updateTime: Date
