TypeORM: update item and return it

Question

As far as I know, it\'s a best practice to return an item after it has been updated. TypeORM\'s updateById returns void, not the updated item though.

Answer 1

I just found out that I can do this with the .save method:

return this.taskRepository.save({
    id: task.id,
    state,
    dueDate
});

According to the docs (section save), partial updates are supported as well:

Also supports partial updating since all undefined properties are skipped.
