is typeorm really abandoned though? I've been playing with rc3.0.0 recently... I'm having fun using it with GraphQL Modules and TypeGraphQL

The docs are pretty decent too!

Oh, you must be using `0.3.0-rc.19` not 3.0.0. (https://www.npmjs.com/package/typeorm)

The one that was released 5 months ago. Look at the velocity of releases, and you'll come to the conclusion many others have.

Also, take a look at the pinned issue for the 0.4.0 release (from Dec, 2018), with no updates, here: https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/issues/3251

Or, the "future of TypeORM" issue (also from Dec, 2018) here: https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/issues/3267

I'm not upset by any of this. That's just the reality of OSS. I really appreciate the foundation TypeORM provided. But, I think it's role will probably be as a sort of "godfather" for the ORM ecosystem in TS rather than a leader – going foward.

TypeORM's velocity and/or lack of a 1.0 release is troubling. I've been trying to push nest recently to gain some consistency vs wild-west express apps, but TypeORM has been the rough spot. I can see the appeal of using something like the pg driver directly, but then there's all that data mapping.

This is pretty good though > pleerock commented 25 days ago I would like to ask not to spam here. Thank you. If somebody prefer some alternative - try it, maybe it can better fit your needs. Nothing is perfect and there are always set cons and pros from every project you will use. Open source always lack of accountability, and if you are using some tool, try to support it if you can, because any author can end up switching to something else. It's just matter of time, or your support. So, try to support your favorite tools, no matter if thats TypeORM or MicroORM.

Thank you for all your suggestions and support. I find many really good suggestions here, but the reason I don't implement them is because right now I'm able to implement only some of them, others would take too much time and efforts to do. But I think it wouldn't take a good effect to only implement some of them. That's why I'm waiting for a right time.

I just want to tell you that I already do have enough money to maintain this library for around 6 months without working on something else. So, I still plan to return back to it and put all my efforts to move it forward and apply all suggestions you have provided. I just need some time, because I took a big project under my responsibility and I can't leave until it's finished. Thanks for understanding. Right now I do my best (considering my business and health) to release new TypeORM versions very month or two to keep it updated with the most critical fixe
