Eager loading relational data without including link table data using KnexJS or TypeORM

I have **Table A** and **Table B** in my Postgres DB. The relations are built using link tables. **Example**: ***ab_link*** table record contains ***a_id*** and ***b_id***. What I am trying to do is get the ObjectA from table A with related ObjectB nested inside ObjectA. When I am querying the data the ab_link table data is also added. I have seen examples where we manually process the data after querying and I am trying to avoid that because my data relations are complex and nested multi-levels. How can we get the A and B data without the ab_link recorded added to the queried data using **KnexJS**/**TypeORM**? // USING KNEXJS const a = await this.db('a') .innerJoin('ab_links', 'a.id', 'ab_links.a_id') .innerJoin('b', 'ab_links.b_id', 'b.id') .where('a.id', id) .then((rows) => { return rows }) .catch((error) => { console.error(error); }); Output a: { id: 2, name: 'Test', b_id: 2 } // USING TYPEORM const req = await (await this.aRepository.queryBuilder(a)) .leftJoinAndSelect('a.ab_links', 'abl') .leftJoinAndSelect('abl.b', 'b') .where({ id: id }) .getOne(); Output: { id:1, name: 'test', ab_links: { id:4, a_id:1, b_id:2, b: { id:2, name: 'test2' } } }
