Guardrails to prevent bad practices or do some serious mistakes when using NestJS Moongose or ORMs.

No one likes unused variables, and we remove them. But with Mongoose there is a catch, if you attach inject model to non-model variable accidentally, you will get no error, but you will get a bug. This plugin will help you to avoid this.

One such incident is shown below:

You'll first need to install ESLint:

npm i eslint --save-dev

Next, install eslint-plugin-nestjs-orm:

npm install eslint-plugin-nestjs-orm --save-dev

Add nestjs-orm to the plugins section of your .eslintrc configuration file. You can omit the eslint-plugin- prefix:

{ "plugins": [ "nestjs-orm" ] }

Then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section.

{ "rules": { "nestjs-orm/mongoose-no-bad-model-injection": "error" } }
