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.

To expand on sandrooco's answer, this is what I do:

const property = await this.propertyRepository.findOne({
  where: { id }
});

return this.propertyRepository.save({
  ...property, // existing fields
  ...updatePropertyDto // updated fields
});
