WIP

Is this PR ready to merge? I can help test.

I have been testing this since yesterday with latest Medusa 1.8 and Extender 1.8.8, and unless you're using custom repositories, everything seems to work.

I am using pretty much all aspects of extender and the only issue I ran into with was cases where I was overrriding repositories, where I got compilation errors in the index.d.ts files. I have removed custom repositories and instead get the repository using TypeORM directly like this now:

em.getRepository(MyCustomProduct)

This seems to work fine.

The other issue is that extender still depends on older TypeORM which fails npm i but using npm i --force installs fine. I'm assuming that we'll be updating extender to use TypeORM 3 in the next release, and when that happens things should be good.

Great work on this!! Extender has made my life a lot easier.

Thanks a lot 🙏 the extender will be deprecated and we are writing a migration guide to move to a full medusa set up. I keep this pr open for those who are in needs of a smooth transition 😅 hope that's fine for you.

Hello folks, first off thank you for a great repo, I was trying to follow a previous guide in Medusa blog about how we can create a marketplace by leveraging medusa-extender, but now it looks like this is being deprecated.

Does that mean if we are using medusa 1.8+, these extensions can be build on top of medusa itself?
Any information regarding how we can proceed here will be very helpful. thank you in advance.

Hello @adrien2p , Is there an ETA on migration guide. We have alot of custom repositories we'd like to keep but running into compile time issues when upgraded to MedusaJS 1.8.1

you can try to use @sgftech/medusa-extender as a stop-gap arrangement if you are not ready to migrate yet
