Description

Using Typeorm's new way of connecting to a data source with new Typeorm.DataSource({...}) , we cannot access the global typeorm connection through the typedi container. I'm using Typegraphql and when I run a query I get the response error:

Cannot get Connection with name \"default\" from the ConnectionManager. Make sure you have created the connection and called \"useContainer(Container)\" in your application before establishing a connection and importing any entity into TypeORM.

It only works if we create the connection using the now deprecated Typeorm.createConnection.

As a side note, Typeorm has deprecated all container-related features in 0.3.0. How will this affect the future of this package and Typedi as a whole?

Minimal code-snippet showcasing the problem

import * as TypeGraphQL from 'type-graphql';
import { Container } from 'typeorm-typedi-extensions';

TypeORM.useContainer(Container);

export const AppDataSource = new DataSource(typeormOptions); 
await AppDataSource.initialize(); // this will establish the connection, but Typegraphql can't find the connection

// await TypeORM.createConnection(typeormOptions); // this still works however

const schema = await TypeGraphQL.buildSchema({
   ...
   container: Container,
});

Expected behavior

I expected to my query to be able to find the injected Repository and Connection and run the query.

Actual behavior

Typegraphql sends back the response:
Cannot get Connection with name \"default\" from the ConnectionManager. Make sure you have created the connection and called \"useContainer(Container)\" in your application before establishing a connection and importing any entity into TypeORM.
