Great article. I'm using Typescript and it was giving me this error in the getKnex() function:

src/next-knex/nest-knex.service.ts:40:30 - error TS2350: Only a void function can be called with the 'new' keyword.

40       this._knexConnection = new Knex(this._NestKnexOptions);
                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

did a bit of quick research and the fix is this:

      this._knexConnection = new (Knex as any)(this._NestKnexOptions);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Keep up the great work!
