Access @Ctx in @AfterInsert/@AfterUpdate

[ghost]

Hello,

I have the following BaseEntity class:

import { Field, ID, ObjectType } from 'type-graphql';
import { validateOrReject } from 'class-validator';
import {
  BaseEntity,
  PrimaryGeneratedColumn,
  CreateDateColumn,
  BeforeInsert,
  BeforeUpdate,
} from 'typeorm';

@ObjectType()
export abstract class BasicEntity extends BaseEntity {
  @Field(() => ID)
  @PrimaryGeneratedColumn('uuid')
  readonly id!: string;

  @Field()
  @CreateDateColumn()
  createdAt!: Date;

  @Field()
  @CreateDateColumn()
  updatedAt!: Date;

  @BeforeInsert()
  @BeforeUpdate()
  async validate() {
    await validateOrReject(this, { validationError: { target: false } });
  }
}

and was wondering If it was possible to access the @ctx decorator to possibly assign which user updated/created a given record. Something like this:

import { Field, ID, ObjectType } from 'type-graphql';
import { validateOrReject } from 'class-validator';
import {
  BaseEntity,
  PrimaryGeneratedColumn,
  CreateDateColumn,
  BeforeInsert,
  BeforeUpdate,
} from 'typeorm';

@ObjectType()
export abstract class BasicEntity extends BaseEntity {
  @Field(() => ID)
  @PrimaryGeneratedColumn('uuid')
  readonly id!: string;

  @Field()
  @CreateDateColumn()
  createdAt!: Date;

  @Field()
  @CreateDateColumn()
  updatedAt!: Date;

  @Field()
  updatedBy?: User;

  @Field()
  createdBy?: User;

  @BeforeInsert()
  @BeforeUpdate()
  async validate() {
    await validateOrReject(this, { validationError: { target: false } });
  }

  @AfterInsert()
   setUser(@Ctx() {user} : Context) {
      this.createdBy = user;
  }
      

}

Is this functionality currently achievable?

Thanks!

No, it's not possible.
