Sure, I'd be happy to help you improve the performance of your code! Please share the code with me, and we can work together to identify areas that could be optimized.
Thank you for providing that additional context. Based on what you've shared, it sounds like there may be opportunities to optimize the database queries in your code.
One potential approach to improve the performance of your code is to use caching to avoid making unnecessary database queries. You could consider using an in-memory cache like Redis to store the results of queries that are frequently executed, such as queries for user points.
Another approach is to optimize the SQL queries themselves. For example, you could consider consolidating multiple queries into a single query, or using more efficient joins to retrieve data from related tables.
To provide more specific suggestions, it would be helpful to see the code you're working with. Please feel free to share the code with me, and we can work together to identify areas for improvement.
Thanks for sharing your code. Based on this snippet, here are some potential areas for performance improvement:
Reduce the number of queries to the database: There are several queries in this code that could potentially be consolidated or optimized to reduce the number of queries to the database. For example, the
findOnequery to check if a user exists could be combined with the subsequentcreateUserquery into a single query using thefindOrCreatemethod. Similarly, thefindOnequery to retrieve the current user goal could be combined with the subsequentupdatequery to set the new goal, using theupdatemethod with areturningoption to retrieve the updated record. You could also consider using more efficient joins or subqueries to retrieve data from related tables in a single query.Use caching to avoid unnecessary queries: Since some of the data accessed in this code is unlikely to change frequently, you could consider using caching to avoid making unnecessary queries to the database. For example, you could cache the user record, the user's current goal, and the event-to-goal mapping to avoid making additional queries for the same data.
Reduce the amount of data returned from queries: Some of the queries in this code return more data than is actually needed. For example, the
findOnequery to retrieve the current user goal retrieves the entiregoalobject, but only theidis needed to update the user record. You could modify the query to only retrieve theidfield using aselectoption.Minimize code duplication: There are several sections of this code that perform similar operations or contain duplicate logic. For example, the code that checks if the event is an achievement could be moved to a separate function that is called from both the
saveUserEventandvalidateEventmethods. This would reduce code duplication and make the code easier to maintain.Consider using a batched approach: Depending on the specific requirements of your application, it may be possible to improve performance by processing multiple events in a single batch instead of processing them one at a time. This could potentially reduce the number of queries to the database and improve overall performance.
I hope these suggestions are helpful. If you have any questions or would like more specific guidance on implementing these optimizations, please feel free to ask!
Sure, here's an example of the code with some suggested changes:
kotlinasync saveUserEvent(userId: number, body: any) {
const { eventId } = body;
// Check if user is allowed to receive points for this event
const eventValidation = await this.userLogsService.validateEvent(userId, eventId);
if (!eventValidation.success) {
return {
success: false,
message: 'max tentatives reached',
eventId: eventId,
};
}
// Find or create user
let user = await this.service.findOne({ where: { userId } });
if (!user) {
user = await this.createUser(userId);
console.log('user created');
}
// Check if user has already received points for this event today (for eventId 8)
if (eventId === 8) {
const lastEntry = await this.userLogsService.getLastEventEntry(userId, eventId);
if (lastEntry && this.isSameDay(lastEntry.createdAt, new Date())) {
return {
success: false,
message: 'already received points for this event today',
eventId: eventId,
};
}
}
// Calculate points to add to user's total points
const eventRule = eventValidation.rule;
let pointsToAdd = eventRule.point;
// If it's a daily event, add extra points for user's daily access recurrence
if (eventId === 8) {
const recurrence = await this.userLogsService.getRecurrenceEntering(userId, eventId, user.recurrence);
user.recurrence = recurrence;
const userEvent = {
eventId: eventId,
userId: userId,
goalId: user.current_goal,
recurrence: recurrence,
};
const event = await this.eventToGoalsService.getEventToGoal(userEvent);
const recurrencePoints = event ? event.points : 0;
pointsToAdd += recurrencePoints;
if (event && event.isAchievement == 1) {
// Save registry that user has achieved a goal
await this.achievementService.create(userEvent);
// Get achievement to send in response
const goal = await this.goalsService.findOne(user.current_goal);
// Checking if user has reached all goals and set new goal.
// As right now there are only 6 goals and all of them are of the same type, it can be done in this way.
// TODO: change logic to work with more goals and types
const registryBody = {
userId,
goalId: user.current_goal,
eventId,
objectiveId: null,
};
user.current_goal = user.current_goal < 6 ? (user.current_goal += 1) : null;
return {
success: true,

is_achievement: true,
goal: goal,
pointsToAdd: pointsToAdd,
registryBody: registryBody,
user: user
};
}
}
// Save registry in user log
const registryBody = {
userId,
goalId: null,
eventId,
objectiveId: null,
};
this.userLogsService.saveRegistry(registryBody);
// Update user's points and save to database
user.points += pointsToAdd;
await this.service.save(user);
// Check if rank is top3 to set new achievement
const rank = await this.getUserRank(userId);
if (rank <= 3 && rank != 0) {
const rankGoal = await this.goalsService.findOne(10 - rank);
const rankAchievement = {
goalId: rankGoal.id,
userId,
};
await this.achievementService.addUserAchievement(rankAchievement
Certainly! Here's an example of how you could implement my first suggestion, which is to use a single findOne call to get the user and then check if it needs to be created:
typescriptasync saveUserEvent(userId: number, body: any) {
const { eventId } = body;
let registryBody = {
userId,
goalId: null,
eventId,
objectiveId: null,
};
let response = {
message: 'success',
is_achievement: false,
goal: {},
};
//eventValidation is just to see if user if allowed to get the points.
const eventValidation = await this.userLogsService.validateEvent(
userId,
eventId,
);
if (!eventValidation.success) {
return {
success: false,
message: 'max tentatives reached',
eventId: eventId,
};
}
// Get user
let user = await this.service.findOne({ where: { userId } });
// Create user if it doesn't exist
if (!user) {
user = await this.createUser(userId);
console.log('user created ');
}
//check user's daily access recurrence
let recurrence: number = user.recurrence;
let recurrencePoints: number = 0;
if (eventId == 8) {
recurrence = await this.userLogsService.getRecurrenceEntering(
userId,
eventId,
user.recurrence,
);
user.recurrence = recurrence;
var userEvent = {
eventId: eventId,
userId: userId,
goalId: user.current_goal,
recurrence: recurrence,
};
let
I apologize for the confusion. You are correct, I made a mistake in my example code. Here is an updated example of how the saveUserEvent function could be improved using the findOrCreate method:
csharpasync saveUserEvent(userId: number, body: any) {
const { eventId } = body;
let registryBody = {
userId,
goalId: null,
eventId,
objectiveId: null,
};
let response = {
message: 'success',
is_achievement: false,
goal: {},
};
//eventValidation is just to see if user if allowed to get the points.
const eventValidation = await this.userLogsService.validateEvent(
userId,
eventId,
);
if (!eventValidation.success) {
return {
success: false,
message: 'max tentatives reached',
eventId: eventId,
};
}
let [user, created] = await this.service.findOrCreate({
where: { userId },
defaults: { points: 0, current_goal: 1, recurrence: 0 }
});
if (created) {
console.log('user created');
}
//check user's daily access recurrence
let recurrence: number = user.recurrence;
let recurrencePoints: number = 0;
if (eventId == 8) {
recurrence = await this.userLogsService.getRecurrenceEntering(
userId,
eventId,
user.recurrence,
);
user.recurrence = recurrence;
var userEvent = {
eventId: eventId,
userId: userId,
goalId: user.current_goal,
recurrence: recurrence,
};
let event = await this.eventToGoalsService.getEventToGoal(userEvent);
recurrencePoints = event ? event.points : 0;
if (event && event.isAchievement == 1) {
//save registry that user has achived a goal
await this.achievementService.create(userEvent);
//get achievement to send in response
const goal = await this.goalsService.findOne(user.current_goal);
// checking if user has reached all goals and set new goal.
// as right now there are only 6 goals and all of them are of the same type, it can be done in this way.
//TODO: change logic to work with more goals and types
registryBody.goalId = user.current_goal;
user.current_goal =
user.current_goal < 6 ? (user.current_goal += 1) : null;
response.is_achievement = true;
response.goal = goal;
}
}
const eventRule = eventValidation.rule;
user.points += eventRule.point + recurrencePoints;
// save registry in user log
this.userLogsService.saveRegistry(registryBody);
await user.save();
//check if rank is top3 to set new achievement
const rank = await this.getUserRank(userId);
if (rank <= 3 && rank != 0) {
const rankGoal = await this.goalsService.findOne(10 - rank);
const rankAchievement = {
goalId: rankGoal.id,
userId,
};
await this.achievementService.addUserAchievement(rankAchievement);
}
return { response, user };
}
In this updated version, we are using the findOrCreate method to look for the user with the given userId. If the user exists, it will return the user object and a boolean value indicating whether or not the user was created (created), and if the user does not exist, it will create a new user with the default values for points, current_goal, and
Yes, you are correct that TypeORM does not have a findOrCreate method out of the box. However, as you mentioned, you can use a query builder to achieve the same functionality. Here's an example of how to use a query builder to find or create a user:
sqllet user = await this.service.createQueryBuilder('user')
.where('user.userId = :userId', { userId })
.getOne();
if (!user) {
user = await this.service.createQueryBuilder()
.insert()
.into(User)
.values([{ userId }])
.execute()
.then(result => {
const { identifiers } = result;
const id = identifiers[0].id;
return this.service.findOne(id);
});
}
This code first tries to find the user by the userId. If it doesn't find the user, it creates a new user using a query builder that inserts a new row into the users table with the given userId, and then retrieves the newly created user by its id.
Note that this code assumes that you have a User entity defined in your TypeORM setup. If you have a different entity name or structure, you may need to adjust the code accordingly.
This code should perform better than the original one, as it makes fewer queries to the database. By using findOne instead of find, we are only querying the database for a single record instead of retrieving all matching records. The save method is only called once, at the end of the function, which also reduces the number of database queries. However, the exact performance improvement would depend on the specific use case and the size of the database.
I apologize for any confusion I may have caused. I reviewed our previous messages, and you are correct that I mistakenly mentioned using findOne instead of find, even though the original code already uses findOne.
Regarding your question about using findOrCreate, as you mentioned, TypeORM does not have a built-in method for this. One workaround is to use a query builder to perform a single query to check if the record exists and create it if it does not. Here's an example of how you could implement this:
kotlinasync saveUserEvent(userId: number, body: any) {
const { eventId } = body;
let registryBody = {
userId,
goalId: null,
eventId,
objectiveId: null,
};
let response = {
message: 'success',
is_achievement: false,
goal: {},
};
//eventValidation is just to see if user if allowed to get the points.
const eventValidation = await this.userLogsService.validateEvent(
userId,
eventId,
);
if (!eventValidation.success) {
return {
success: false,
message: 'max tentatives reached',
eventId: eventId,
};
}
const user = await this.service
.createQueryBuilder('user')
.where('user.userId = :userId', { userId })
.getOne();
if (!user) {
const newUser = this.service.create({
userId,
points: 0,
current_goal: 1,
recurrence: 0,
});
await this.service.save(newUser);
console.log('user created');
}
// check user's daily access recurrence
let recurrence: number = user.recurrence;
let recurrencePoints: number = 0;
if (eventId == 8) {
recurrence = await this.userLogsService.getRecurrenceEntering(
userId,
eventId,
user.recurrence,
);
user.recurrence = recurrence;
const userEvent = {
eventId: eventId,
userId: userId,
goalId: user.current_goal,
recurrence: recurrence,
};
const event = await this.eventToGoalsService.getEventToGoal(userEvent);
recurrencePoints = event ? event.points : 0;
if (event && event.isAchievement == 1) {
//save registry that user has achived a goal
await this.achievementService.create(userEvent);
//get achievement to send in response
const goal = await this.goalsService.findOne(user.current_goal);
// checking if user has reached all goals and set new goal.
// as right now there are only 6 goals and all of them are of the same type, it can be done in this way.
//TODO: change logic to work with more goals and types
registryBody.goalId = user.current_goal;
user.current_goal =
user.current_goal < 6 ? (user.current_goal += 1) : null;
response.is_achievement = true;
response.goal = goal;
}
}
const eventRule = eventValidation.rule;
user.points += eventRule.point + recurrencePoints;
// save registry in user log
this.userLogsService.saveRegistry(registryBody);
await this.service.save(user);
//check if rank is top3 to set new achievement
const rank = await this.getUserRank(userId);
if (rank <= 3 && rank != 0) {
const rankGoal = await this.goalsService.findOne(10 - rank);
const rankAchievement = {
goalId: rankGoal.id,
userId,
};
await this.achievementService.addUserAchievement(rankAchie
Yes, using the query builder to check if the user exists can be more performant than the current approach you are using. This is because the query builder can be used to construct more efficient queries that can be executed directly by the database engine, without having to load and process data in the application code.
In your current approach, you are first querying the database using the findOne method to see if the user exists. If the user is not found, then you are creating the user. This means that you are making two database queries in succession, which can be less efficient than using a single query that checks if the user exists and creates the user if necessary.
By using the query builder, you can construct a single query that checks if the user exists and creates the user if necessary. This can be more efficient than making two separate queries, as it reduces the amount of data that needs to be transferred between the database and the application code. Additionally, the query builder can be used to optimize the query execution plan, which can further improve performance.
Yes, you need to import the QueryBuilder from TypeORM before using it. You can do it like this:
typescriptimport { getRepository, QueryBuilder } from 'typeorm';
Also, make sure to use the correct import statement for createQueryBuilder, which should be getRepository(entity).createQueryBuilder(alias).
Regarding the error message you're seeing, it seems like the error is related to the user object not being defined or null. You should check that the user object is defined before accessing its properties. You can modify the code like this:
typescriptlet user = await this.service.findOne({ where: { userId } });
if (!user) {
user = await this.createUser(userId);
console.log('user created ');
}
let recurrence: number = user?.recurrence ?? 0;
let recurrencePoints: number = 0;
This way, if user is null or undefined, the value of recurrence will be set to 0.
Certainly! Here's an example of how you could use the createQueryBuilder method to retrieve a user by their userId:
typescriptimport { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { InjectRepository } from '@nestjs/typeorm';
import { Repository } from 'typeorm';
import { User } from './user.entity';
@Injectable()
export class UserService {
constructor(
@InjectRepository(User)
private readonly userRepository: Repository<User>,
) {}
async getUserById(userId: number): Promise<User> {
const user = await this.userRepository
.createQueryBuilder('user')
.where('user.userId = :userId', { userId })
.getOne();
return user;
}
}
In this example, we've defined a UserService that injects a Repository<User> instance using @InjectRepository. We then define a method getUserById that uses createQueryBuilder to build a query that fetches a user by their userId. Finally, we return the retrieved user from this method.
Note that this code assumes that your User entity is defined in user.entity.ts. If your entity has a different name or is defined in a different file, you'll need to adjust the import statement and type references accordingly.
Yes, you need to import the QueryBuilder from TypeORM to use it in your code. Here's an updated version of the code that includes the import statement for QueryBuilder:
typescriptimport { QueryBuilder } from 'typeorm';
// ...
async saveUserEvent(userId: number, body: any) {
const { eventId } = body;
let registryBody = {
userId,
goalId: null,
eventId,
objectiveId: null,
};
let response = {
message: 'success',
is_achievement: false,
goal: {},
};
//eventValidation is just to see if user if allowed to get the points.
const eventValidation = await this.userLogsService.validateEvent(
userId,
eventId,
);
if (!eventValidation.success) {
return {
success: false,
message: 'max tentatives reached',
eventId: eventId,
};
}
let user = await this.service
.createQueryBuilder('user')
.where('user.userId = :userId', { userId })
.getOne();
if (!user) {
user = await this.createUser(userId);
console.log('user created ');
}
//check user's daily access recurrence
let recurrence: number = user.recurrence;
let recurrencePoints: number = 0;
if (eventId == 8) {
Sure, my apologies for the confusion. Here's an updated example code using the createQueryBuilder method from TypeORM:
typescriptimport { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { InjectRepository } from '@nestjs/typeorm';
import { Repository } from 'typeorm';
import { User } from './user.entity';
@Injectable()
export class UserService {
constructor(
@InjectRepository(User)
private readonly userRepository: Repository<User>,
) {}
async findOrCreate(userId: string): Promise<User> {
let user = await this.userRepository.findOne({ userId });
if (!user) {
const newUser = this.userRepository.create({ userId });
user = await this.userRepository.save(newUser);
}
return user;
}
}
This code uses the findOne method from the userRepository to check if a user with the specified userId already exists in the database. If the user exists, it is returned. If not, a new User entity is created using the create method from the userRepository, then saved to the database using the save method. The newly created user is then returned.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
I apologize for the confusion earlier. You are correct, the imported QueryBuilder was not being used in the code I provided earlier. Here's an updated version of the code that should work:
typescriptimport { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { InjectRepository } from '@nestjs/typeorm';
import { Repository } from 'typeorm';
import { User } from './user.entity';
@Injectable()
export class UserService {
constructor(
@InjectRepository(User)
private readonly userRepository: Repository<User>,
) {}
async findOrCreateUser(userId: string): Promise<User> {
let user = await this.userRepository.findOne({ userId });
if (!user) {
user = this.userRepository.create({ userId });
await this.userRepository.save(user);
}
return user;
}
}
In this code, we are using the findOne method instead of the QueryBuilder. This is because findOne is simpler and more direct in this particular case, and should be sufficient for most use cases. However, if you need to use the QueryBuilder for more complex queries, you can do so as follows:
typescriptimport { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { InjectRepository } from '@nestjs/typeorm';
import { Repository } from 'typeorm';
import { User } from './user.entity';
@Injectable()
export class UserService {
constructor(
@InjectRepository(User)
private readonly userRepository: Repository<User>,
) {}
async findOrCreateUser(userId: string): Promise<User> {
let user = await this.userRepository
.createQueryBuilder('user')
.where('user.userId = :userId', { userId })
.getOne();
if (!user) {
user = this.userRepository.create({ userId });
await this.userRepository.save(user);
}
return user;
}
}
I hope this updated code resolves any confusion and helps with your implementation. Let me know if you have any further questions!
