Marks a class as an event subscriber which can listen to specific entity events or any entity events. Events are firing using QueryBuilder and repository/manager methods. Example:

@EventSubscriber()
export class PostSubscriber implements EntitySubscriberInterface<Post> {
    /**
     * Indicates that this subscriber only listen to Post events.
     */
    listenTo() {
        return Post
    }

    /**
     * Called before post insertion.
     */
    beforeInsert(event: InsertEvent<Post>) {
        console.log(`BEFORE POST INSERTED: `, event.entity)
    }
}

You can implement any method from EntitySubscriberInterface. To listen to any entity you just omit listenTo method and use any:

@EventSubscriber()
export class PostSubscriber implements EntitySubscriberInterface {
    /**
     * Called after entity is loaded.
     */
    afterLoad(entity: any) {
        console.log(`AFTER ENTITY LOADED: `, entity)
    }

    /**
     * Called before entity insertion.
     */
    beforeInsert(event: InsertEvent<any>) {
        console.log(`BEFORE ENTITY INSERTED: `, event.entity)
    }

    /**
     * Called after entity insertion.
     */
    afterInsert(event: InsertEvent<any>) {
        console.log(`AFTER ENTITY INSERTED: `, event.entity)
    }

    /**
     * Called before entity update.
     */
    beforeUpdate(event: UpdateEvent<any>) {
        console.log(`BEFORE ENTITY UPDATED: `, event.entity)
    }

    /**
     * Called after entity update.
     */
    afterUpdate(event: UpdateEvent<any>) {
        console.log(`AFTER ENTITY UPDATED: `, event.entity)
    }

    /**
     * Called before entity removal.
     */
    beforeRemove(event: RemoveEvent<any>) {
        console.log(
            `BEFORE ENTITY WITH ID ${event.entityId} REMOVED: `,
            event.entity,
        )
    }

    /**
     * Called after entity removal.
     */
    afterRemove(event: RemoveEvent<any>) {
        console.log(
            `AFTER ENTITY WITH ID ${event.entityId} REMOVED: `,
            event.entity,
        )
    }

    /**
     * Called before entity removal.
     */
    beforeSoftRemove(event: SoftRemoveEvent<any>) {
        console.log(
            `BEFORE ENTITY WITH ID ${event.entityId} SOFT REMOVED: `,
            event.entity,
        )
    }

    /**
     * Called after entity removal.
     */
    afterSoftRemove(event: SoftRemoveEvent<any>) {
        console.log(
            `AFTER ENTITY WITH ID ${event.entityId} SOFT REMOVED: `,
            event.entity,
        )
    }

    /**
     * Called before entity recovery.
     */
    beforeRecover(event: RecoverEvent<any>) {
        console.log(
            `BEFORE ENTITY WITH ID ${event.entityId} RECOVERED: `,
            event.entity,
        )
    }

    /**
     * Called after entity recovery.
     */
    afterRecover(event: RecoverEvent<any>) {
        console.log(
            `AFTER ENTITY WITH ID ${event.entityId} RECOVERED: `,
            event.entity,
        )
    }

    /**
     * Called before transaction start.
     */
    beforeTransactionStart(event: TransactionStartEvent) {
        console.log(`BEFORE TRANSACTION STARTED: `, event)
    }

    /**
     * Called after transaction start.
     */
    afterTransactionStart(event: TransactionStartEvent) {
        console.log(`AFTER TRANSACTION STARTED: `, event)
    }

    /**
     * Called before transaction commit.
     */
    beforeTransactionCommit(event: TransactionCommitEvent) {
        console.log(`BEFORE TRANSACTION COMMITTED: `, event)
    }

    /**
     * Called after transaction commit.
     */
    afterTransactionCommit(event: TransactionCommitEvent) {
        console.log(`AFTER TRANSACTION COMMITTED: `, event)
    }

    /**
     * Called before transaction rollback.
     */
    beforeTransactionRollback(event: TransactionRollbackEvent) {
        console.log(`BEFORE TRANSACTION ROLLBACK: `, event)
    }

    /**
     * Called after transaction rollback.
     */
    afterTransactionRollback(event: TransactionRollbackEvent) {
        console.log(`AFTER TRANSACTION ROLLBACK: `, event)
    }
}

Make sure your subscribers property is set in your DataSourceOptions so TypeORM loads your subscriber.

Event Object

Excluding listenTo, all EntitySubscriberInterface methods are passed an event object that has the following base properties:

• dataSource: DataSource – DataSource used in the event.
• queryRunner: QueryRunner – QueryRunner used in the event transaction.
• manager: EntityManager – EntityManager used in the event transaction.

Note: All database operations in the subscribed event listeners should be performed using the event object’s queryRunner or manager instance.
