Migrate create syncable entity cursor rule to skills (#17912)

# Introduction
Splitting the create syncable entity rule into dedicated scoped skills
in order to favorise multi agent pattern with more granular context

### Multi-Agent Workflow

For parallel development:
1. **Agent 1** (Foundation): Complete Step 1 first - unblocks everyone
2. **Agent 2** (Cache): Can start immediately after Step 1
3. **Agent 3** (Builder): Can work in parallel with Agent 4 after Step 1
4. **Agent 4** (Runner): Can work in parallel with Agent 3 after Step 1
5. **Agent 5** (Integration): Assembles everything after Steps 2-4

name: syncable-entity-builder-and-validation
description: Create validation logic and migration action builders for syncable entities in Twenty. Use when implementing business rule validation, uniqueness checks, foreign key validation, or building workspace migration actions for syncable entities. Validators never throw and never mutate.
---
# Syncable Entity: Builder & Validation (Step 3/6)
**Purpose**: Implement business rule validation and create migration action builders.
**When to use**: After completing Steps 1-2 (Types, Cache, Transform). Required before implementing action handlers.
---
## Quick Start
This step creates:
1. Validator service (business logic validation)
2. Builder service (action creation)
3. Orchestrator wiring (**CRITICAL** - often forgotten!)
**Key principles**:
- Validators **never throw** - return error arrays
- Validators **never mutate** - pass optimistic entity maps
- Use indexed lookups (O(1)) not `Object.values().find()` (O(n))
---
## Step 1: Create Validator Service
**File**: `src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-builder/validators/services/flat-my-entity-validator.service.ts`
```typescript
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { t, msg } from '@lingui/macro';
import { isDefined } from 'twenty-shared/utils';
import { type FlatMyEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-my-entity/types/flat-my-entity.type';
import { type FlatMyEntityMaps } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-my-entity/types/flat-my-entity-maps.type';
import { WorkspaceMigrationValidationError } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-builder/validators/types/workspace-migration-validation-error.type';
import { MyEntityExceptionCode } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/exceptions/my-entity-exception-code.enum';
@Injectable()
export class FlatMyEntityValidatorService {
validateMyEntityForCreate(
flatMyEntity: FlatMyEntity,
optimisticFlatMyEntityMaps: FlatMyEntityMaps,
): WorkspaceMigrationValidationError[] {
const errors: WorkspaceMigrationValidationError[] = [];
// Pattern 1: Required field validation
if (!isDefined(flatMyEntity.name) || flatMyEntity.name.trim() === '') {
errors.push({
code: MyEntityExceptionCode.NAME_REQUIRED,
message: t`Name is required`,
userFriendlyMessage: msg`Please provide a name for this entity`,
});
}
// Pattern 2: Uniqueness check - use indexed map (O(1))
const existingEntityWithName = optimisticFlatMyEntityMaps.byName[flatMyEntity.name];
if (isDefined(existingEntityWithName) && existingEntityWithName.id !== flatMyEntity.id) {
errors.push({
code: MyEntityExceptionCode.MY_ENTITY_ALREADY_EXISTS,
message: t`Entity with name ${flatMyEntity.name} already exists`,
userFriendlyMessage: msg`An entity with this name already exists`,
});
}
// Pattern 3: Foreign key validation
if (isDefined(flatMyEntity.parentEntityId)) {
const parentEntity = optimisticFlatParentEntityMaps.byId[flatMyEntity.parentEntityId];
if (!isDefined(parentEntity)) {
errors.push({
code: MyEntityExceptionCode.PARENT_ENTITY_NOT_FOUND,
message: t`Parent entity with ID ${flatMyEntity.parentEntityId} not found`,
userFriendlyMessage: msg`The specified parent entity does not exist`,
});
} else if (isDefined(parentEntity.deletedAt)) {
errors.push({
code: MyEntityExceptionCode.PARENT_ENTITY_DELETED,
message: t`Parent entity is deleted`,
userFriendlyMessage: msg`Cannot reference a deleted parent entity`,
});
}
}
// Pattern 4: Standard entity protection
if (flatMyEntity.isCustom === false) {
errors.push({
code: MyEntityExceptionCode.STANDARD_ENTITY_CANNOT_BE_CREATED,
message: t`Cannot create standard entity`,
userFriendlyMessage: msg`Standard entities can only be created by the system`,
});
}
return errors;
}
validateMyEntityForUpdate(
flatMyEntity: FlatMyEntity,
updates: Partial<FlatMyEntity>,
optimisticFlatMyEntityMaps: FlatMyEntityMaps,
): WorkspaceMigrationValidationError[] {
const errors: WorkspaceMigrationValidationError[] = [];
// Standard entity protection
if (flatMyEntity.isCustom === false) {
errors.push({
code: MyEntityExceptionCode.STANDARD_ENTITY_CANNOT_BE_UPDATED,
message: t`Cannot update standard entity`,
userFriendlyMessage: msg`Standard entities cannot be modified`,
});
return errors; // Early return if standard
}
// Uniqueness check for name changes
if (isDefined(updates.name) && updates.name !== flatMyEntity.name) {
const existingEntityWithName = optimisticFlatMyEntityMaps.byName[updates.name];
if (isDefined(existingEntityWithName) && existingEntityWithName.id !== flatMyEntity.id) {
errors.push({
code: MyEntityExceptionCode.MY_ENTITY_ALREADY_EXISTS,
message: t`Entity with name ${updates.name} already exists`,
userFriendlyMessage: msg`An entity with this name already exists`,
});
}
}
return errors;
}
validateMyEntityForDelete(
flatMyEntity: FlatMyEntity,
): WorkspaceMigrationValidationError[] {
const errors: WorkspaceMigrationValidationError[] = [];
// Standard entity protection
if (flatMyEntity.isCustom === false) {
errors.push({
code: MyEntityExceptionCode.STANDARD_ENTITY_CANNOT_BE_DELETED,
message: t`Cannot delete standard entity`,
userFriendlyMessage: msg`Standard entities cannot be deleted`,
});
}
return errors;
}
}
```
**Performance warning**: Avoid `Object.values().find()` - use indexed maps instead!
```typescript
// ❌ BAD: O(n) - slow for large datasets
const duplicate = Object.values(optimisticFlatMyEntityMaps.byId).find(
(entity) => entity.name === flatMyEntity.name && entity.id !== flatMyEntity.id
);
// ✅ GOOD: O(1) - use indexed map
const existingEntityWithName = optimisticFlatMyEntityMaps.byName[flatMyEntity.name];
if (isDefined(existingEntityWithName) && existingEntityWithName.id !== flatMyEntity.id) {
// Handle duplicate
}
```
---
## Step 2: Create Builder Service
**File**: `src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-builder/builders/my-entity/workspace-migration-my-entity-actions-builder.service.ts`
```typescript
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { WorkspaceEntityMigrationBuilderService } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-builder/workspace-entity-migration-builder.service';
import { FlatMyEntityValidatorService } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-builder/validators/services/flat-my-entity-validator.service';
import { type UniversalFlatMyEntity } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/universal-flat-entity/types/universal-flat-my-entity.type';
import {
type UniversalCreateMyEntityAction,
type UniversalUpdateMyEntityAction,
type UniversalDeleteMyEntityAction,
} from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-builder/builders/my-entity/types/workspace-migration-my-entity-action.type';
@Injectable()
export class WorkspaceMigrationMyEntityActionsBuilderService extends WorkspaceEntityMigrationBuilderService<
'myEntity',
UniversalFlatMyEntity,
UniversalCreateMyEntityAction,
UniversalUpdateMyEntityAction,
UniversalDeleteMyEntityAction
> {
constructor(
private readonly flatMyEntityValidatorService: FlatMyEntityValidatorService,
) {
super();
}
protected buildCreateAction(
universalFlatMyEntity: UniversalFlatMyEntity,
flatEntityMaps: AllFlatEntityMapsByMetadataName,
): BuildWorkspaceMigrationActionReturnType<UniversalCreateMyEntityAction> {
const validationResult = this.flatMyEntityValidatorService.validateMyEntityForCreate(
universalFlatMyEntity,
flatEntityMaps.flatMyEntityMaps,
);
if (validationResult.length > 0) {
return {
status: 'failed',
errors: validationResult,
};
}
return {
status: 'success',
action: {
type: 'create',
metadataName: 'myEntity',
universalFlatEntity: universalFlatMyEntity,
},
};
}
protected buildUpdateAction(
universalFlatMyEntity: UniversalFlatMyEntity,
universalUpdates: Partial<UniversalFlatMyEntity>,
flatEntityMaps: AllFlatEntityMapsByMetadataName,
): BuildWorkspaceMigrationActionReturnType<UniversalUpdateMyEntityAction> {
const validationResult = this.flatMyEntityValidatorService.validateMyEntityForUpdate(
universalFlatMyEntity,
universalUpdates,
flatEntityMaps.flatMyEntityMaps,
);
if (validationResult.length > 0) {
return {
status: 'failed',
errors: validationResult,
};
}
return {
status: 'success',
action: {
type: 'update',
metadataName: 'myEntity',
universalFlatEntity: universalFlatMyEntity,
universalUpdates,
},
};
}
protected buildDeleteAction(
universalFlatMyEntity: UniversalFlatMyEntity,
): BuildWorkspaceMigrationActionReturnType<UniversalDeleteMyEntityAction> {
const validationResult = this.flatMyEntityValidatorService.validateMyEntityForDelete(
universalFlatMyEntity,
);
if (validationResult.length > 0) {
return {
status: 'failed',
errors: validationResult,
};
}
return {
status: 'success',
action: {
type: 'delete',
metadataName: 'myEntity',
universalFlatEntity: universalFlatMyEntity,
},
};
}
}
```
---
## Step 3: Wire into Orchestrator (**CRITICAL**)
**File**: `src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-builder/workspace-migration-build-orchestrator.service.ts`
```typescript
@Injectable()
export class WorkspaceMigrationBuildOrchestratorService {
constructor(
// ... existing builders
private readonly workspaceMigrationMyEntityActionsBuilderService: WorkspaceMigrationMyEntityActionsBuilderService,
) {}
async buildWorkspaceMigration({
allFlatEntityOperationByMetadataName,
flatEntityMaps,
isSystemBuild,
}: BuildWorkspaceMigrationInput): Promise<BuildWorkspaceMigrationOutput> {
// ... existing code
// Add your entity builder
const myEntityResult = await this.workspaceMigrationMyEntityActionsBuilderService.build({
flatEntitiesToCreate: allFlatEntityOperationByMetadataName.myEntity?.flatEntityToCreate ?? [],
flatEntitiesToUpdate: allFlatEntityOperationByMetadataName.myEntity?.flatEntityToUpdate ?? [],
flatEntitiesToDelete: allFlatEntityOperationByMetadataName.myEntity?.flatEntityToDelete ?? [],
flatEntityMaps,
isSystemBuild,
});
// ... aggregate errors
return {
status: aggregatedErrors.length > 0 ? 'failed' : 'success',
errors: aggregatedErrors,
actions: [
...existingActions,
...myEntityResult.actions,
],
};
}
}
```
**⚠️ This step is the most commonly forgotten!** Your entity won't sync without orchestrator wiring.
---
## Validation Patterns
### Pattern 1: Required Field
```typescript
if (!isDefined(field) || field.trim() === '') {
errors.push({ code: ..., message: ..., userFriendlyMessage: ... });
}
```
### Pattern 2: Uniqueness (O(1) lookup)
```typescript
const existing = optimisticMaps.byName[entity.name];
if (isDefined(existing) && existing.id !== entity.id) {
errors.push({ ... });
}
```
### Pattern 3: Foreign Key Validation
```typescript
if (isDefined(entity.parentId)) {
const parent = parentMaps.byId[entity.parentId];
if (!isDefined(parent)) {
errors.push({ code: NOT_FOUND, ... });
} else if (isDefined(parent.deletedAt)) {
errors.push({ code: DELETED, ... });
}
}
```
### Pattern 4: Standard Entity Protection
```typescript
if (entity.isCustom === false) {
errors.push({ code: STANDARD_ENTITY_PROTECTED, ... });
return errors; // Early return
}
```

name: syncable-entity-cache-and-transform
description: Create cache services and transformation utilities for syncable entities in Twenty. Use when implementing entity-to-flat conversions, input DTO transpilation to universal flat entities, or cache recomputation for syncable entities.
---
# Syncable Entity: Cache & Transform (Step 2/6)
**Purpose**: Create cache layer and transformation utilities to convert between different entity representations.
**When to use**: After completing Step 1 (Types & Constants). Required before building validators and action handlers.
---
## Quick Start
This step creates:
1. Cache service for flat entity maps
2. Entity-to-flat conversion utility
3. Input transform utils (DTO → Universal Flat Entity)
**Key principle**: Input transform utils must output **universal flat entities** (with `universalIdentifier` and foreign keys mapped to universal identifiers).
---
## Step 1: Create Cache Service
**File**: `src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-my-entity/services/flat-my-entity-cache.service.ts`
```typescript
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { InjectRepository } from '@nestjs/typeorm';
import { Repository } from 'typeorm';
import { v4 } from 'uuid';
import { WorkspaceCache } from 'src/engine/twenty-orm/decorators/workspace-cache.decorator';
import { MyEntityEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/entities/my-entity.entity';
import { type FlatMyEntityMaps } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-my-entity/types/flat-my-entity-maps.type';
import { fromMyEntityEntityToFlatMyEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-my-entity/utils/from-my-entity-entity-to-flat-my-entity.util';
@Injectable()
export class FlatMyEntityCacheService {
constructor(
@InjectRepository(MyEntityEntity, 'metadata')
private readonly myEntityRepository: Repository<MyEntityEntity>,
) {}
@WorkspaceCache({ flatMapsKey: 'flatMyEntityMaps' })
async getFlatMyEntityMaps(): Promise<FlatMyEntityMaps> {
const myEntities = await this.myEntityRepository.find({
withDeleted: true, // CRITICAL: Include soft-deleted entities
});
const flatMyEntities = myEntities.map((entity) =>
fromMyEntityEntityToFlatMyEntity(entity),
);
return {
byId: Object.fromEntries(flatMyEntities.map((e) => [e.id, e])),
byName: Object.fromEntries(flatMyEntities.map((e) => [e.name, e])),
};
}
}
```
**Critical rules**:
- Use `@WorkspaceCache` decorator with unique `flatMapsKey`
- **Always** use `withDeleted: true` to include soft-deleted entities
- Cache key pattern: `flat{EntityName}Maps` (camelCase)
---
## Step 2: Entity-to-Flat Conversion
**File**: `src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-my-entity/utils/from-my-entity-entity-to-flat-my-entity.util.ts`
```typescript
import { v4 } from 'uuid';
import { type MyEntityEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/entities/my-entity.entity';
import { type FlatMyEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-my-entity/types/flat-my-entity.type';
export const fromMyEntityEntityToFlatMyEntity = (
entity: MyEntityEntity,
): FlatMyEntity => {
return {
id: entity.id,
// Critical: generate a new UUID for universalIdentifier
universalIdentifier: v4(),
workspaceId: entity.workspaceId,
applicationId: entity.applicationId,
name: entity.name,
label: entity.label,
description: entity.description,
isCustom: entity.isCustom,
parentEntityId: entity.parentEntityId,
settings: entity.settings,
createdAt: entity.createdAt.toISOString(),
updatedAt: entity.updatedAt.toISOString(),
deletedAt: entity.deletedAt?.toISOString() ?? null,
};
};
```
**Critical**: `universalIdentifier` must be a new UUID generated with `v4()` (not `entity.id`)
---
## Step 3: Input Transform Utils (DTO → Universal Flat Entity)
**File**: `src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-my-entity/utils/from-create-my-entity-input-to-universal-flat-my-entity.util.ts`
```typescript
import { v4 } from 'uuid';
import { sanitizeString } from 'twenty-shared/string';
import { type CreateMyEntityInput } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/dtos/create-my-entity.input';
import { type UniversalFlatMyEntity } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/universal-flat-entity/types/universal-flat-my-entity.type';
import { resolveEntityRelationUniversalIdentifiers } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-entity/utils/resolve-entity-relation-universal-identifiers.util';
import { type AllFlatEntityMapsByMetadataName } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-entity/types/all-flat-entity-maps-by-metadata-name.type';
export const fromCreateMyEntityInputToUniversalFlatMyEntity = ({
input,
workspaceId,
flatEntityMaps,
}: {
input: CreateMyEntityInput;
workspaceId: string;
flatEntityMaps?: AllFlatEntityMapsByMetadataName;
}): UniversalFlatMyEntity => {
const id = v4();
const universalIdentifier = v4();
// 1. Extract foreign key IDs BEFORE sanitization
const parentEntityId = input.parentEntityId ?? null;
// 2. Sanitize string properties
const name = sanitizeString(input.name);
const label = sanitizeString(input.label);
const description = input.description ? sanitizeString(input.description) : null;
// 3. Build base flat entity
const baseFlatEntity = {
id,
universalIdentifier,
workspaceId,
applicationId: null,
name,
label,
description,
isCustom: true,
parentEntityId,
settings: input.settings ?? null,
createdAt: new Date().toISOString(),
updatedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
deletedAt: null,
};
// 4. Resolve foreign keys to universal identifiers (if flatEntityMaps provided)
if (flatEntityMaps) {
return resolveEntityRelationUniversalIdentifiers({
metadataName: 'myEntity',
flatEntity: baseFlatEntity,
flatEntityMaps,
});
}
// 5. Return with null universal foreign keys if no maps
return {
...baseFlatEntity,
parentEntityUniversalIdentifier: null,
};
};
```
**Key steps**:
1. Generate IDs (`id` and `universalIdentifier` with `v4()`)
2. Extract foreign keys **before** sanitization
3. Sanitize all string properties
4. Build base flat entity
5. Resolve foreign keys → universal identifiers
---
## Step 4: Create Flat Entity Module
**File**: `src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-my-entity/flat-my-entity.module.ts`
```typescript
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { TypeOrmModule } from '@nestjs/typeorm';
import { MyEntityEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/entities/my-entity.entity';
import { FlatMyEntityCacheService } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-my-entity/services/flat-my-entity-cache.service';
@Module({
imports: [TypeOrmModule.forFeature([MyEntityEntity], 'metadata')],
providers: [FlatMyEntityCacheService],
exports: [FlatMyEntityCacheService],
})
export class FlatMyEntityModule {}
```
**Rules**:
- Import entity with `'metadata'` datasource
- Export cache service for use in other modules
---
## Common Patterns
### Pattern: Foreign Key Resolution
```typescript
// Extract foreign keys BEFORE sanitization
const parentEntityId = input.parentEntityId ?? null;
// After building base entity, resolve to universal identifiers
const universalFlatEntity = resolveEntityRelationUniversalIdentifiers({
metadataName: 'myEntity',
flatEntity: baseFlatEntity,
flatEntityMaps,
});
```
### Pattern: JSONB with SerializedRelation
```typescript
// For JSONB properties containing foreign keys
const settings = input.settings
? {
...input.settings,
fieldMetadataId: input.settings.fieldMetadataId,
}
: null;
// After resolution, JSONB foreign keys become universal identifiers
return resolveEntityRelationUniversalIdentifiers({
metadataName: 'myEntity',
flatEntity: { ...baseFlatEntity, settings },
flatEntityMaps,
});
```
### Pattern: Update Transform
```typescript
// from-update-my-entity-input-to-universal-flat-my-entity-updates.util.ts
export const fromUpdateMyEntityInputToUniversalFlatMyEntityUpdates = ({
input,
flatEntityMaps,
}: {
input: UpdateMyEntityInput;
flatEntityMaps?: AllFlatEntityMapsByMetadataName;
}): Partial<UniversalFlatMyEntity> => {
const updates: Partial<UniversalFlatMyEntity> = {};
if (input.name !== undefined) {
updates.name = sanitizeString(input.name);
}
if (input.parentEntityId !== undefined) {
updates.parentEntityId = input.parentEntityId;
}
updates.updatedAt = new Date().toISOString();
// Resolve foreign keys if maps provided
if (flatEntityMaps) {
return resolveEntityRelationUniversalIdentifiers({
metadataName: 'myEntity',
flatEntity: updates as any,
flatEntityMaps,
});
}
return updates;
};
```

## Checklist
Before moving to Step 3:
- [ ] Cache service created with `@WorkspaceCache` decorator
- [ ] Cache uses `withDeleted: true`
- [ ] Cache key follows `flat{EntityName}Maps` pattern
- [ ] Entity-to-flat conversion implemented
- [ ] `universalIdentifier` set correctly (generated with `v4()`)
- [ ] Create input transform implemented
- [ ] Update input transform implemented (if needed)
- [ ] Foreign keys extracted before sanitization
- [ ] String properties sanitized
- [ ] Foreign keys resolved to universal identifiers
- [ ] Flat entity module created and exports cache service
---
## Next Step
Once cache and transform utilities are complete, proceed to:

name: syncable-entity-integration
description: Wire syncable entity services into NestJS modules, create service layer and resolvers for Twenty entities. Use when registering builders, validators, and action handlers in modules, creating business services, or exposing entities via GraphQL API with proper exception handling.
---
# Syncable Entity: Integration (Step 5/6)
**Purpose**: Wire everything together, register in modules, create services and resolvers.
**When to use**: After completing Steps 1-4 (all previous steps). Required before testing.
---
## Quick Start
This step:
1. Registers services in 3 NestJS modules
2. Creates service layer (returns flat entities)
3. Creates resolver layer (converts flat → DTO)
4. Uses exception interceptor for GraphQL
**Key principle**: Services return flat entities, resolvers transpile flat → DTO.
---
## Step 1: Register in Builder Module
**File**: `src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-builder/workspace-migration-builder.module.ts`
```typescript
import { WorkspaceMigrationMyEntityActionsBuilderService } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-builder/builders/my-entity/workspace-migration-my-entity-actions-builder.service';

],
exports: [
// ... existing exports
WorkspaceMigrationMyEntityActionsBuilderService,

})
export class WorkspaceMigrationBuilderModule {}
```
**Important**: Add to both `providers` AND `exports` (builder needs to be exported for orchestrator).
---
## Step 2: Register in Validators Module
**File**: `src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-builder/validators/workspace-migration-builder-validators.module.ts`
```typescript
import { FlatMyEntityValidatorService } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-builder/validators/services/flat-my-entity-validator.service';
@Module({

---
## Step 3: Register Action Handlers
**File**: `src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-runner/action-handlers/workspace-schema-migration-runner-action-handlers.module.ts`
```typescript
import { CreateMyEntityActionHandlerService } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-runner/action-handlers/my-entity/services/create-my-entity-action-handler.service';

async create(input: CreateMyEntityInput, workspaceId: string): Promise<FlatMyEntity> {
// 1. Transform input to universal flat entity
const universalFlatMyEntityToCreate = fromCreateMyEntityInputToUniversalFlatMyEntity({

// 4. Return freshly cached flat entity
const { flatMyEntityMaps } =
await this.workspaceManyOrAllFlatEntityMapsCacheService.getOrRecomputeManyOrAllFlatEntityMaps(

},
);
return findFlatEntityByIdInFlatEntityMapsOrThrow({
flatEntityId: universalFlatMyEntityToCreate.id,

**Service pattern**:
1. Transform input → universal flat entity
2. Call `validateBuildAndRunWorkspaceMigration`
3. Throw if validation errors
4. **Return flat entity** (not DTO)
---
## Step 5: Create Resolver Layer
**File**: `src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/my-entity.resolver.ts`
```typescript
import { UseInterceptors } from '@nestjs/common';
import { Args, Mutation, Resolver } from '@nestjs/graphql';
import { WorkspaceMigrationGraphqlApiExceptionInterceptor } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/interceptors/workspace-migration-graphql-api-exception.interceptor';
import { MyEntityService } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/my-entity.service';
import { fromFlatMyEntityToMyEntityDto } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/utils/from-flat-my-entity-to-my-entity-dto.util';
@Resolver(() => MyEntityDto)
@UseInterceptors(WorkspaceMigrationGraphqlApiExceptionInterceptor)
export class MyEntityResolver {
constructor(private readonly myEntityService: MyEntityService) {}
@Mutation(() => MyEntityDto)
async createMyEntity(
@Args('input') input: CreateMyEntityInput,
@Workspace() { id: workspaceId }: Workspace,
): Promise<MyEntityDto> {
// Service returns flat entity
const flatMyEntity = await this.myEntityService.create(input, workspaceId);
// Resolver converts flat entity to DTO
return fromFlatMyEntityToMyEntityDto(flatMyEntity);
}
@Mutation(() => MyEntityDto)
async updateMyEntity(
@Args('id') id: string,
@Args('input') input: UpdateMyEntityInput,
@Workspace() { id: workspaceId }: Workspace,
): Promise<MyEntityDto> {
const flatMyEntity = await this.myEntityService.update(id, input, workspaceId);
return fromFlatMyEntityToMyEntityDto(flatMyEntity);
}
@Mutation(() => Boolean)
async deleteMyEntity(
@Args('id') id: string,
@Workspace() { id: workspaceId }: Workspace,
) {
await this.myEntityService.delete(id, workspaceId);
return true;
}
}
```
**Resolver responsibilities**:
- Receives flat entities from service
- **Converts flat → DTO** using conversion utility
- Returns DTOs to GraphQL API
- Uses exception interceptor for error formatting
---
## Step 6: Flat-to-DTO Conversion
**File**: `src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/utils/from-flat-my-entity-to-my-entity-dto.util.ts`
```typescript
import { type FlatMyEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-my-entity/types/flat-my-entity.type';
import { type MyEntityDto } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/dtos/my-entity.dto';
export const fromFlatMyEntityToMyEntityDto = (
flatMyEntity: FlatMyEntity,
): MyEntityDto => {
return {
id: flatMyEntity.id,
name: flatMyEntity.name,
label: flatMyEntity.label,
description: flatMyEntity.description,
isCustom: flatMyEntity.isCustom,
createdAt: flatMyEntity.createdAt,
updatedAt: flatMyEntity.updatedAt,
// Convert foreign key IDs to relation objects if needed
// parentEntity: flatMyEntity.parentEntityId ? { id: flatMyEntity.parentEntityId } : null,
};
};
```
---
## Layer Responsibilities
| Layer | Input | Output | Responsibility |
|-------|-------|--------|----------------|
| **Service** | Input DTO | Flat Entity | Business logic, validation orchestration |
| **Resolver** | Service result | DTO | Flat → DTO conversion, GraphQL exposure |
**Service Layer**:
- Works with flat entities internally
- Returns `FlatMyEntity` type
- No knowledge of DTOs or GraphQL types
**Resolver Layer**:
- Receives flat entities from service
- Converts flat entities to DTOs
- Returns DTOs to GraphQL API
---
## Exception Interceptor
The `WorkspaceMigrationGraphqlApiExceptionInterceptor` automatically handles:
1. `FlatEntityMapsException` → Converts to GraphQL errors (NotFoundError, etc.)
2. `WorkspaceMigrationBuilderException` → Formats validation errors with i18n
3. `WorkspaceMigrationRunnerException` → Formats runner errors
**What it does**:
- Catches exceptions and formats for API responses
- Translates error messages based on user locale
- Ensures consistent error structure for frontend
---

description: Implement action handlers for executing workspace migrations in Twenty. Use when creating database operations for syncable entities, implementing universal-to-flat entity transpilation, or handling create/update/delete actions in the runner layer.
---
# Syncable Entity: Runner & Actions (Step 4/6)
**Purpose**: Execute migration actions against the database with proper transpilation from universal to flat entities.
**When to use**: After completing Steps 1-3 (Types, Cache, Builder). Required before integration.
---
## Quick Start
This step creates:
1. Create action handler
2. Update action handler
3. Delete action handler
4. Universal-to-flat conversion utilities
**Key pattern**: Each handler has two phases:
1. **Transpilation**: Universal action → Flat action
2. **Execution**: Flat action → Database operation
---
## Step 1: Create Action Handler
**File**: `src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-runner/action-handlers/my-entity/services/create-my-entity-action-handler.service.ts`
```typescript
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { InjectRepository } from '@nestjs/typeorm';
import { Repository } from 'typeorm';
import { WorkspaceCreateActionHandlerService } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-runner/action-handlers/workspace-create-action-handler.service';
import { MyEntityEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/entities/my-entity.entity';
import { fromUniversalFlatMyEntityToFlatMyEntity } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-runner/action-handlers/my-entity/utils/from-universal-flat-my-entity-to-flat-my-entity.util';
import {
type UniversalCreateMyEntityAction,
type FlatCreateMyEntityAction,
} from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-builder/builders/my-entity/types/workspace-migration-my-entity-action.type';
@Injectable()
export class CreateMyEntityActionHandlerService extends WorkspaceCreateActionHandlerService<
'myEntity',
UniversalCreateMyEntityAction,
FlatCreateMyEntityAction
> {
constructor(
@InjectRepository(MyEntityEntity, 'metadata')
private readonly myEntityRepository: Repository<MyEntityEntity>,
) {
super();
}
// Phase 1: Transpile universal action to flat action
protected transpileUniversalActionToFlatAction(
universalAction: UniversalCreateMyEntityAction,
flatEntityMaps: AllFlatEntityMapsByMetadataName,
): FlatCreateMyEntityAction {
return {
type: 'create',
metadataName: 'myEntity',
flatEntity: fromUniversalFlatMyEntityToFlatMyEntity(
universalAction.universalFlatEntity,
flatEntityMaps,
),
};
}
// Phase 2: Execute flat action against database
protected async executeForMetadata(
flatActions: FlatCreateMyEntityAction[],
): Promise<void> {
const flatEntities = flatActions.map((action) => action.flatEntity);
await this.insertFlatEntitiesInRepository({
repository: this.myEntityRepository,
flatEntities,
});
}
protected async executeForWorkspaceSchema(): Promise<void> {
// No workspace schema changes needed for metadata-only entity
return;
}
}
```
**Key helper methods**:
- `transpileUniversalActionToFlatAction`: Converts universal → flat
- `insertFlatEntitiesInRepository`: Base class helper for inserts
- `executeForMetadata`: Metadata database operations
- `executeForWorkspaceSchema`: Workspace schema changes (if needed)
---
## Step 2: Update Action Handler
**File**: `src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-runner/action-handlers/my-entity/services/update-my-entity-action-handler.service.ts`
```typescript
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { InjectRepository } from '@nestjs/typeorm';
import { Repository } from 'typeorm';
import { WorkspaceUpdateActionHandlerService } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-runner/action-handlers/workspace-update-action-handler.service';
import { MyEntityEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/entities/my-entity.entity';
import { fromUniversalFlatMyEntityToFlatMyEntity } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-runner/action-handlers/my-entity/utils/from-universal-flat-my-entity-to-flat-my-entity.util';
import { resolveUniversalUpdateRelationIdentifiersToIds } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/universal-flat-entity/utils/resolve-universal-relation-identifiers-to-ids.util';
@Injectable()
export class UpdateMyEntityActionHandlerService extends WorkspaceUpdateActionHandlerService<
'myEntity',
UniversalUpdateMyEntityAction,
FlatUpdateMyEntityAction
> {
constructor(
@InjectRepository(MyEntityEntity, 'metadata')
private readonly myEntityRepository: Repository<MyEntityEntity>,
) {
super();
}
protected transpileUniversalActionToFlatAction(
universalAction: UniversalUpdateMyEntityAction,
flatEntityMaps: AllFlatEntityMapsByMetadataName,
): FlatUpdateMyEntityAction {
const flatEntity = fromUniversalFlatMyEntityToFlatMyEntity(
universalAction.universalFlatEntity,
flatEntityMaps,
);
// Resolve universal foreign keys in updates to regular IDs
const flatUpdates = resolveUniversalUpdateRelationIdentifiersToIds({
metadataName: 'myEntity',
universalUpdates: universalAction.universalUpdates,
flatEntityMaps,
});
return {
type: 'update',
metadataName: 'myEntity',
flatEntity,
updates: flatUpdates,
};
}
protected async executeForMetadata(
flatActions: FlatUpdateMyEntityAction[],
): Promise<void> {
for (const action of flatActions) {
await this.myEntityRepository.update(
{ id: action.flatEntity.id },
action.updates,
);
}
}
protected async executeForWorkspaceSchema(): Promise<void> {
return;
}
}
```
**Update-specific helper**:
- `resolveUniversalUpdateRelationIdentifiersToIds`: Maps universal identifiers back to regular IDs in the updates object
---
## Step 3: Delete Action Handler
**File**: `src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-runner/action-handlers/my-entity/services/delete-my-entity-action-handler.service.ts`
```typescript
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { InjectRepository } from '@nestjs/typeorm';
import { Repository } from 'typeorm';
import { WorkspaceDeleteActionHandlerService } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-runner/action-handlers/workspace-delete-action-handler.service';
import { MyEntityEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/entities/my-entity.entity';
import { fromUniversalFlatMyEntityToFlatMyEntity } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-runner/action-handlers/my-entity/utils/from-universal-flat-my-entity-to-flat-my-entity.util';
@Injectable()
export class DeleteMyEntityActionHandlerService extends WorkspaceDeleteActionHandlerService<
'myEntity',
UniversalDeleteMyEntityAction,
FlatDeleteMyEntityAction
> {
constructor(
@InjectRepository(MyEntityEntity, 'metadata')
private readonly myEntityRepository: Repository<MyEntityEntity>,
) {
super();
}
protected transpileUniversalActionToFlatAction(
universalAction: UniversalDeleteMyEntityAction,
flatEntityMaps: AllFlatEntityMapsByMetadataName,
): FlatDeleteMyEntityAction {
// Use base class helper for delete transpilation
return this.transpileUniversalDeleteActionToFlatDeleteAction({
universalAction,
flatEntityMaps,
fromUniversalFlatEntityToFlatEntity: fromUniversalFlatMyEntityToFlatMyEntity,
});
}
protected async executeForMetadata(
flatActions: FlatDeleteMyEntityAction[],
): Promise<void> {
const ids = flatActions.map((action) => action.flatEntity.id);
await this.myEntityRepository.delete(ids);
}
protected async executeForWorkspaceSchema(): Promise<void> {
return;
}
}
```
**Delete-specific helper**:
- `transpileUniversalDeleteActionToFlatDeleteAction`: Base class helper that handles standard delete transpilation
---
## Step 4: Universal-to-Flat Conversion
**File**: `src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-runner/action-handlers/my-entity/utils/from-universal-flat-my-entity-to-flat-my-entity.util.ts`
```typescript
import { resolveUniversalRelationIdentifiersToIds } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/universal-flat-entity/utils/resolve-universal-relation-identifiers-to-ids.util';
import { type UniversalFlatMyEntity } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/universal-flat-entity/types/universal-flat-my-entity.type';
import { type FlatMyEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-my-entity/types/flat-my-entity.type';
import { type AllFlatEntityMapsByMetadataName } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-entity/types/all-flat-entity-maps-by-metadata-name.type';
export const fromUniversalFlatMyEntityToFlatMyEntity = (
universalFlatMyEntity: UniversalFlatMyEntity,
flatEntityMaps: AllFlatEntityMapsByMetadataName,
): FlatMyEntity => {
// Resolve universal foreign keys back to regular IDs
return resolveUniversalRelationIdentifiersToIds({
metadataName: 'myEntity',
universalFlatEntity: universalFlatMyEntity,
flatEntityMaps,
}) as FlatMyEntity;
};
```
**Key utility**:
- `resolveUniversalRelationIdentifiersToIds`: Maps universal identifiers → regular IDs (reverse of `resolveEntityRelationUniversalIdentifiers`)
---
## Action Handler Patterns
### Pattern: Create Handler
```typescript
// 1. Transpile: Universal → Flat
protected transpileUniversalActionToFlatAction(
universalAction,
flatEntityMaps,
) {
return {
type: 'create',
metadataName: 'myEntity',
flatEntity: fromUniversalFlatMyEntityToFlatMyEntity(
universalAction.universalFlatEntity,
flatEntityMaps,
),
};
}
// 2. Execute: Flat → Database
protected async executeForMetadata(flatActions) {
await this.insertFlatEntitiesInRepository({
repository: this.myEntityRepository,
flatEntities: flatActions.map(a => a.flatEntity),
});
}
```
### Pattern: Update Handler
```typescript
// Transpile with update-specific resolution
protected transpileUniversalActionToFlatAction(
universalAction,
flatEntityMaps,
) {
const flatEntity = fromUniversalFlatMyEntityToFlatMyEntity(
universalAction.universalFlatEntity,
flatEntityMaps,
);
const flatUpdates = resolveUniversalUpdateRelationIdentifiersToIds({
metadataName: 'myEntity',
universalUpdates: universalAction.universalUpdates,
flatEntityMaps,
});
return { type: 'update', metadataName: 'myEntity', flatEntity, updates: flatUpdates };
}
```
### Pattern: Delete Handler
```typescript
// Use base class helper
protected transpileUniversalActionToFlatAction(
universalAction,
flatEntityMaps,
) {
return this.transpileUniversalDeleteActionToFlatDeleteAction({
universalAction,
flatEntityMaps,
fromUniversalFlatEntityToFlatEntity: fromUniversalFlatMyEntityToFlatMyEntity,
});
}
// Delete
protected async executeForMetadata(flatActions) {
const ids = flatActions.map(a => a.flatEntity.id);
await this.myEntityRepository.delete(ids);
}
```

# Syncable Entity: Integration Testing (Step 6/6 - MANDATORY)
**Purpose**: Create comprehensive test suite covering all validation scenarios, input transpilation exceptions, and successful use cases.
**When to use**: After completing Steps 1-5. Integration tests are **REQUIRED** for all syncable entities.
---
## Quick Start
Tests must cover:
1. **Failing scenarios** - All validator exceptions and input transpilation errors
2. **Successful scenarios** - All CRUD operations and edge cases
3. **Test utilities** - Reusable query factories and helper functions
**Test pattern**: Two-file pattern (query factory + wrapper) for each operation.
---
## Step 1: Create Test Utilities
### Pattern: Query Factory
**File**: `test/integration/metadata/suites/my-entity/utils/create-my-entity-query-factory.util.ts`
```typescript
import gql from 'graphql-tag';
import { type PerformMetadataQueryParams } from 'test/integration/metadata/types/perform-metadata-query.type';
import { type CreateMyEntityInput } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/dtos/create-my-entity.input';
export type CreateMyEntityFactoryInput = CreateMyEntityInput;
const DEFAULT_MY_ENTITY_GQL_FIELDS = `
id
name
label
description
isCustom
createdAt
updatedAt
`;
export const createMyEntityQueryFactory = ({
input,
gqlFields = DEFAULT_MY_ENTITY_GQL_FIELDS,
}: PerformMetadataQueryParams<CreateMyEntityFactoryInput>) => ({
query: gql`
mutation CreateMyEntity($input: CreateMyEntityInput!) {
createMyEntity(input: $input) {
${gqlFields}
}
}
`,
variables: {
input,
},
});
```
### Pattern: Wrapper Utility
**File**: `test/integration/metadata/suites/my-entity/utils/create-my-entity.util.ts`
```typescript
import {
type CreateMyEntityFactoryInput,
createMyEntityQueryFactory,
} from 'test/integration/metadata/suites/my-entity/utils/create-my-entity-query-factory.util';
import { makeMetadataAPIRequest } from 'test/integration/metadata/suites/utils/make-metadata-api-request.util';
import { type CommonResponseBody } from 'test/integration/metadata/types/common-response-body.type';
import { type PerformMetadataQueryParams } from 'test/integration/metadata/types/perform-metadata-query.type';
import { warnIfErrorButNotExpectedToFail } from 'test/integration/metadata/utils/warn-if-error-but-not-expected-to-fail.util';
import { warnIfNoErrorButExpectedToFail } from 'test/integration/metadata/utils/warn-if-no-error-but-expected-to-fail.util';
import { type MyEntityDto } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/dtos/my-entity.dto';
export const createMyEntity = async ({
input,
gqlFields,
expectToFail = false,
token,
}: PerformMetadataQueryParams<CreateMyEntityFactoryInput>): CommonResponseBody<{
createMyEntity: MyEntityDto;
}> => {
const graphqlOperation = createMyEntityQueryFactory({
input,
gqlFields,
});
const response = await makeMetadataAPIRequest(graphqlOperation, token);
if (expectToFail === true) {
warnIfNoErrorButExpectedToFail({
response,
errorMessage: 'My entity creation should have failed but did not',
});
}
if (expectToFail === false) {
warnIfErrorButNotExpectedToFail({
response,
errorMessage: 'My entity creation has failed but should not',
});
}
return { data: response.body.data, errors: response.body.errors };
};
```
**Required utilities** (follow same pattern):
- `update-my-entity-query-factory.util.ts` + `update-my-entity.util.ts`
- `delete-my-entity-query-factory.util.ts` + `delete-my-entity.util.ts`
---
## Step 2: Failing Creation Tests
**File**: `test/integration/metadata/suites/my-entity/failing-my-entity-creation.integration-spec.ts`
```typescript
import { expectOneNotInternalServerErrorSnapshot } from 'test/integration/graphql/utils/expect-one-not-internal-server-error-snapshot.util';

async ({ context }) => {
const { errors } = await createMyEntity({
expectToFail: true,
input: context.input,
});
expectOneNotInternalServerErrorSnapshot({
errors,
});
},
);
});
```
**Test coverage requirements**:
- ✅ Missing required fields
- ✅ Empty strings
- ✅ Invalid format
- ✅ Uniqueness violations
- ✅ Standard entity protection
- ✅ Foreign key validation
---
## Step 3: Successful Creation Tests
**File**: `test/integration/metadata/suites/my-entity/successful-my-entity-creation.integration-spec.ts`
```typescript
import { createMyEntity } from 'test/integration/metadata/suites/my-entity/utils/create-my-entity.util';
import { deleteMyEntity } from 'test/integration/metadata/suites/my-entity/utils/delete-my-entity.util';
import { type CreateMyEntityInput } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/dtos/create-my-entity.input';
describe('My entity creation should succeed', () => {
let createdEntityId: string;
afterEach(async () => {
if (createdEntityId) {
await deleteMyEntity({
expectToFail: false,
input: { id: createdEntityId },
});
}
});
it('should create entity with minimal required input', async () => {
const { data } = await createMyEntity({
expectToFail: false,
input: {
name: 'minimalEntity',
label: 'Minimal Entity',
},
});
createdEntityId = data?.createMyEntity?.id;
expect(data.createMyEntity).toMatchObject({
id: expect.any(String),
name: 'minimalEntity',
label: 'Minimal Entity',
description: null,
isCustom: true,
createdAt: expect.any(String),
updatedAt: expect.any(String),
});
});
it('should create entity with all optional fields', async () => {
const input = {
name: 'fullEntity',
label: 'Full Entity',
description: 'Entity with all fields specified',
} as const satisfies CreateMyEntityInput;
const { data } = await createMyEntity({
expectToFail: false,
input,
});
createdEntityId = data?.createMyEntity?.id;
expect(data.createMyEntity).toMatchObject({
id: expect.any(String),
name: 'fullEntity',
label: 'Full Entity',
description: 'Entity with all fields specified',
isCustom: true,
});
});
it('should sanitize input by trimming whitespace', async () => {
const { data } = await createMyEntity({
expectToFail: false,
input: {
name: ' entityWithSpaces ',
label: ' Entity With Spaces ',
description: ' Description with spaces ',
},
});
createdEntityId = data?.createMyEntity?.id;
expect(data.createMyEntity).toMatchObject({
id: expect.any(String),
name: 'entityWithSpaces',
label: 'Entity With Spaces',
description: 'Description with spaces',
});
});
it('should handle long text content', async () => {
const longDescription = 'A'.repeat(1000);
const { data } = await createMyEntity({
expectToFail: false,
input: {
name: 'longDescEntity',
label: 'Long Description Entity',
description: longDescription,
},
});
createdEntityId = data?.createMyEntity?.id;
expect(data.createMyEntity).toMatchObject({
id: expect.any(String),
description: longDescription,
});
});
});
```
**Test coverage requirements**:
- ✅ Minimal required input
- ✅ All optional fields
- ✅ Input sanitization
- ✅ Long text content
- ✅ Special characters
---
## Step 4: Update and Delete Tests
Create similar test files for update and delete operations:
**Required files**:
- `failing-my-entity-update.integration-spec.ts`
- `successful-my-entity-update.integration-spec.ts`
- `failing-my-entity-deletion.integration-spec.ts`
- `successful-my-entity-deletion.integration-spec.ts`
---
## Testing Best Practices
### Pattern: Cleanup
```typescript
afterEach(async () => {
if (createdEntityId) {
await deleteMyEntity({
expectToFail: false,
input: { id: createdEntityId },
});
}
});
```
### Pattern: Type-Safe Inputs
```typescript
const input = {
name: 'myEntity',
label: 'My Entity',
} as const satisfies CreateMyEntityInput;
```
### Pattern: Snapshot Testing
```typescript
expectOneNotInternalServerErrorSnapshot({
errors,
});
```
---
## Running Tests
```bash
# Run all entity tests
npx jest test/integration/metadata/suites/my-entity --config=packages/twenty-server/jest.config.mjs
# Run specific test file
npx jest test/integration/metadata/suites/my-entity/failing-my-entity-creation.integration-spec.ts --config=packages/twenty-server/jest.config.mjs

name: syncable-entity-types-and-constants
description: Define types, entities, and central constant registrations for syncable entities in Twenty's workspace migration system. Use when creating new syncable entities, defining TypeORM entities, flat entity types, or registering in central constants (ALL_ENTITY_PROPERTIES_CONFIGURATION_BY_METADATA_NAME, ALL_METADATA_RELATIONS, ALL_UNIVERSAL_METADATA_RELATIONS).
---
# Syncable Entity: Types & Constants (Step 1/6)
**Purpose**: Define all types, entities, and register in central constants. This is the foundation - everything else depends on these types being correct.
**When to use**: First step when creating any new syncable entity. Must be completed before other steps.
---
## Quick Start
This step creates:
1. Metadata name constant (twenty-shared)
2. TypeORM entity (extends `SyncableEntity`)
3. Flat entity types
4. Action types (universal + flat)
5. Central constant registrations (4 constants)
---
## Step 1: Add Metadata Name
**File**: `packages/twenty-shared/src/metadata/all-metadata-name.constant.ts`
```typescript
export const ALL_METADATA_NAME = {
// ... existing entries
myEntity: 'myEntity',
} as const;
```
---
## Step 2: Create TypeORM Entity
**File**: `src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/entities/my-entity.entity.ts`
```typescript
import { Entity, Column, ManyToOne, JoinColumn } from 'typeorm';
import { SyncableEntity } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/types/syncable-entity.interface';
@Entity({ name: 'myEntity' })
export class MyEntityEntity extends SyncableEntity {
@Column({ type: 'varchar' })
name: string;
@Column({ type: 'varchar' })
label: string;
@Column({ type: 'boolean', default: true })
isCustom: boolean;
// Foreign key example (optional)
@Column({ type: 'uuid', nullable: true })
parentEntityId: string | null;
@ManyToOne(() => ParentEntityEntity, { nullable: true })
@JoinColumn({ name: 'parentEntityId' })
parentEntity: ParentEntityEntity | null;
// JSONB column example (optional)
@Column({ type: 'jsonb', nullable: true })
settings: Record<string, any> | null;
}
```
**Key rules**:
- Must extend `SyncableEntity` (provides `id`, `universalIdentifier`, `applicationId`, etc.)
- Must have `isCustom` boolean column
- Use `@Column({ type: 'jsonb' })` for JSON data
---
## Step 3: Define Flat Entity Types
**File**: `src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-my-entity/types/flat-my-entity.type.ts`
```typescript
import { type FlatEntityFrom } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-entity/types/flat-entity-from.type';
import { type MyEntityEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/my-entity/entities/my-entity.entity';
export type FlatMyEntity = FlatEntityFrom<MyEntityEntity>;
```
**Maps file** (if entity has indexed lookups):
```typescript
// flat-my-entity-maps.type.ts
export type FlatMyEntityMaps = {
byId: Record<string, FlatMyEntity>;
byName: Record<string, FlatMyEntity>;
// Add other indexes as needed
};
```
---
## Step 4: Define Editable Properties
**File**: `src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-my-entity/constants/editable-flat-my-entity-properties.constant.ts`
```typescript
export const EDITABLE_FLAT_MY_ENTITY_PROPERTIES = [
'name',
'label',
'description',
'parentEntityId',
'settings',
] as const satisfies ReadonlyArray<keyof FlatMyEntity>;
```
**Rule**: Only include properties that can be updated (exclude `id`, `createdAt`, `universalIdentifier`, etc.)
---
## Step 5: Define Action Types
**File**: `src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/workspace-migration-builder/builders/my-entity/types/workspace-migration-my-entity-action.type.ts`
```typescript
import { type FlatMyEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-my-entity/types/flat-my-entity.type';
import { type UniversalFlatMyEntity } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/universal-flat-entity/types/universal-flat-my-entity.type';
// Universal actions (used by builder/runner)
export type UniversalCreateMyEntityAction = {
type: 'create';
metadataName: 'myEntity';
universalFlatEntity: UniversalFlatMyEntity;
};
export type UniversalUpdateMyEntityAction = {
type: 'update';
metadataName: 'myEntity';
universalFlatEntity: UniversalFlatMyEntity;
universalUpdates: Partial<UniversalFlatMyEntity>;
};
export type UniversalDeleteMyEntityAction = {
type: 'delete';
metadataName: 'myEntity';
universalFlatEntity: UniversalFlatMyEntity;
};
// Flat actions (internal to runner)
export type FlatCreateMyEntityAction = {
type: 'create';
metadataName: 'myEntity';
flatEntity: FlatMyEntity;
};
export type FlatUpdateMyEntityAction = {
type: 'update';
metadataName: 'myEntity';
flatEntity: FlatMyEntity;
updates: Partial<FlatMyEntity>;
};
export type FlatDeleteMyEntityAction = {
type: 'delete';
metadataName: 'myEntity';
flatEntity: FlatMyEntity;
};
```
---
## Step 6: Register in Central Constants
### 6a. AllFlatEntityTypesByMetadataName
**File**: `src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-entity/types/all-flat-entity-types-by-metadata-name.ts`
```typescript
export type AllFlatEntityTypesByMetadataName = {
// ... existing entries
myEntity: {
flatEntityMaps: FlatMyEntityMaps;
universalActions: {
create: UniversalCreateMyEntityAction;
update: UniversalUpdateMyEntityAction;
delete: UniversalDeleteMyEntityAction;
};
flatActions: {
create: FlatCreateMyEntityAction;
update: FlatUpdateMyEntityAction;
delete: FlatDeleteMyEntityAction;
};
flatEntity: FlatMyEntity;
universalFlatEntity: UniversalFlatMyEntity;
entity: MyEntityEntity;
};
};
```
### 6b. ALL_ENTITY_PROPERTIES_CONFIGURATION_BY_METADATA_NAME
**File**: `src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-entity/constant/all-entity-properties-configuration-by-metadata-name.constant.ts`
```typescript
export const ALL_ENTITY_PROPERTIES_CONFIGURATION_BY_METADATA_NAME = {
// ... existing entries
myEntity: {
name: { toCompare: true },
label: { toCompare: true },
description: { toCompare: true },
parentEntityId: {
toCompare: true,
universalProperty: 'parentEntityUniversalIdentifier',
},
settings: {
toCompare: true,
toStringify: true,
universalProperty: 'universalSettings',
},
},
} as const;
```
**Rules**:
- `toCompare: true` → Editable property (checked for changes)
- `toStringify: true` → JSONB/object property (needs JSON serialization)
- `universalProperty` → Maps to universal version (for foreign keys & JSONB with `SerializedRelation`)
### 6c. ALL_METADATA_RELATIONS
**File**: `src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-entity/constant/all-metadata-relations.constant.ts`
```typescript
export const ALL_METADATA_RELATIONS = {
// ... existing entries
myEntity: {
manyToOne: {
workspace: null,
application: null,
parentEntity: {
metadataName: 'parentEntity',
flatEntityForeignKeyAggregator: 'myEntityIds',
foreignKey: 'parentEntityId',
isNullable: false,
},
},
oneToMany: {
childEntities: { metadataName: 'childEntity' },
},
// Only if JSONB contains SerializedRelation fields
serializedRelations: {
fieldMetadata: true,
},
},
} as const;
```
### 6d. ALL_UNIVERSAL_METADATA_RELATIONS
**File**: `src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration/universal-flat-entity/constants/all-universal-metadata-relations.constant.ts`
```typescript
export const ALL_UNIVERSAL_METADATA_RELATIONS = {
// ... existing entries
myEntity: {
manyToOne: {
workspace: null,
application: null,
parentEntity: {
metadataName: 'parentEntity',
foreignKey: 'parentEntityId',
universalForeignKey: 'parentEntityUniversalIdentifier',
universalFlatEntityForeignKeyAggregator: 'myEntityUniversalIdentifiers',
isNullable: false,
},
},
oneToMany: {
childEntities: { metadataName: 'childEntity' },
},
},
} as const;
```
