Hello, first I would like to thank you for the beautiful example presented by you.

I'm trying to replicate your code, following the article posting on Medium (https://medium.com/@gausmann.simon/nestjs-typeorm-and-postgresql-full-example-development-and-project-setup-working- with-database-c1a2b1b11b8f). I reached the end, but when I POST to / item, I get the following message:

Can you help me? Thank you!

Hello, thank you for your excellent article :)

I have the same problem and this is my solution :

Inside item.dto.ts make the method toEntity static :

public static toEntity(dto: ItemDTO, user: User = null) { ... }

and inside item.service.ts :

return this.repo.create(ItemDTO.toEntity(dto, user))

best reguards
