Does refine supabase support functions?

I need to updated multiple tables one of them has many-to-many relationship in the same edit. Does refine supabase implementation to support running supabase functions?

Hi @GooglyEyes. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. The provided extracts do not contain specific information about Refine's support for running Supabase functions. However, Refine does provide built-in data provider support for Supabase and handles all required data service methods out-of-the-box, including create, update, and delete operations. For handling many-to-many relationships, you can refer to this Github issue (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/3327) where it's suggested to remove the field that doesn't exist in the table before submitting the form and send create requests to the related table using useCreate or useCreateMany. For more detailed information, you may want to check out the Refine Supabase documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/packages/supabase#introduction). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Should I use @supabase/supabase-js for direction interactions with the db in this regard?

kapa.ai•7mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Yes, you can use @supabase/supabase-js for direct interactions with your Supabase database. This library provides a set of methods to interact with your database, including running raw SQL queries, which can be useful for complex operations that are not covered by Refine's built-in data provider methods. Here's an example of how you can initialize the Supabase client using @supabase/supabase-js:

import { createClient } from "@supabase/supabase-js";

const SUPABASE_URL = "YOUR_SUPABASE_URL";
const SUPABASE_KEY = "YOUR_SUPABASE_KEY";

const supabase = createClient(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_KEY);

import { createClient } from "@supabase/supabase-js";

const SUPABASE_URL = "YOUR_SUPABASE_URL";
const SUPABASE_KEY = "YOUR_SUPABASE_KEY";

const supabase = createClient(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_KEY);

You can then use this supabase client to interact with your database. For example, to run a raw SQL query:

const { data, error } = await supabase.rpc('my_stored_procedure', { key: 'value' });

const { data, error } = await supabase.rpc('my_stored_procedure', { key: 'value' });

Remember to replace "YOUR_SUPABASE_URL" and "YOUR_SUPABASE_KEY" with your actual Supabase URL and key. You can find these in your Supabase dashboard. Please note that while direct database interactions can give you more flexibility, they also require more careful management of your database operations and can potentially introduce security risks if not handled properly. Always make sure to sanitize any user input and use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection attacks. For more information, you can refer to the Supabase JS library documentation (https://supabase.io/docs/reference/javascript/initializing). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai does refine support a method for automatically resolving these type of relationships?

kapa.ai•7mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Refine provides a compositional design for managing data relationships through data hooks such as useOne, useMany, etc. This design allows for flexible and efficient management of data relationships to suit specific requirements. For example, to handle a scenario where each post has many categories, you can use the useMany hook to fetch the categories of the post. Here's an example code snippet demonstrating this:

import React from "react";
import { useTable, HttpError, useMany } from "@refinedev/core";

export const HomePage: React.FC = () => {
    const { tableQueryResult } = useTable<IPost, HttpError>({
        resource: "posts",
    });
    const posts = tableQueryResult?.data?.data ?? [];

    const categoryIds = posts.map((item) => item.category.id);
    const { data: categoriesData, isLoading } = useMany<ICategory>({
        resource: "categories",
        ids: categoryIds,
        queryOptions: {
            enabled: categoryIds.length > 0,
        },
    });

    if (tableQueryResult?.isLoading) {
        return <div>Loading...</div>;
    }
};

import React from "react";
import { useTable, HttpError, useMany } from "@refinedev/core";

export const HomePage: React.FC = () => {
    const { tableQueryResult } = useTable<IPost, HttpError>({
        resource: "posts",
    });
    const posts = tableQueryResult?.data?.data ?? [];

    const categoryIds = posts.map((item) => item.category.id);
    const { data: categoriesData, isLoading } = useMany<ICategory>({
        resource: "categories",
        ids: categoryIds,
        queryOptions: {
            enabled: categoryIds.length > 0,
        },
    });

    if (tableQueryResult?.isLoading) {
        return <div>Loading...</div>;
    }
};

This example demonstrates how Refine can be used to manage relationships between data entities in a flexible manner. However, for automatically resolving relationships, especially complex ones like many-to-many relationships, the documentation extracts provided do not specify a built-in method. You might need to manually handle these relationships using the available hooks (useOne, useMany) and possibly direct database interactions for more complex scenarios. For more detailed guidance on managing data relationships with Refine, you can refer to the Data Fetching - Relationships (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/data-fetching#relationships) section in the Refine documentation. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai lets say i'm inside the list, and make a custom deletion by using supabase.rpc how would I update / Invalidate the list ?

kapa.ai•7mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To update or invalidate the list after a custom deletion using supabase.rpc, you can utilize Refine's useInvalidate hook. This hook allows you to manually invalidate a specific query or resource, prompting Refine to refetch the data. This is particularly useful when you perform operations outside of Refine's built-in data mutation hooks (useDelete, useUpdate, etc.) and need to ensure the UI reflects the latest state of your data. Here's how you can use useInvalidate in conjunction with a custom deletion operation performed via supabase.rpc:

import { useInvalidate } from "@refinedev/core";

const MyComponent = () => {
  const invalidate = useInvalidate();

  const deleteItem = async (itemId) => {
    const { data, error } = await supabase
      .rpc('custom_delete_function', { item_id: itemId });

    if (!error) {
      // Invalidate the 'items' resource to refetch the list
      invalidate({ resource: "items" });
    }
  };

  return (
    // Your component structure
  );
};

import { useInvalidate } from "@refinedev/core";

const MyComponent = () => {
  const invalidate = useInvalidate();

  const deleteItem = async (itemId) => {
    const { data, error } = await supabase
      .rpc('custom_delete_function', { item_id: itemId });

    if (!error) {
      // Invalidate the 'items' resource to refetch the list
      invalidate({ resource: "items" });
    }
  };

  return (
    // Your component structure
  );
};

In this example, after successfully deleting an item using supabase.rpc, the invalidate function is called with the resource name ("items" in this case) that you want to refetch. This ensures that the list displayed in your application is up-to-date with the latest data from your database. Remember, the resource parameter passed to invalidate should match the resource name used in your list query. This ties the invalidation directly to the specific data you want to refresh. For more information on using useInvalidate, you can refer to the Refine documentation on invalidation: useInvalidate hook (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/invalidate/useInvalidate/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai This is my resource definition { name: "menu_items", list: "/menu-items", create: "/menu-items/create", edit: "/menu-items/edit/:id", meta: { canDelete: true, }, }, This is the code that i'm using to invalidate the list, but it seems to do nothing. Do I also need to refresh the UI? invalidate({ resource: "menu-items", invalidates: ["list", "many"], });

kapa.ai•7mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the information provided and the extracts from the Refine documentation, it seems there might be a slight mismatch in the resource name used in your invalidate call compared to your resource definition. In your resource definition, the name of the resource is defined as "menu_items", but in your invalidate call, you're using "menu-items". Refine uses the resource name to match and invalidate the queries associated with that resource. Therefore, it's crucial that the resource name used in the invalidate call matches exactly with the one defined in your resource configuration. Here's how you should adjust your invalidate call to match your resource definition:

invalidate({
  resource: "menu_items", // Use the same resource name as defined in your resource configuration
  invalidates: ["list", "many"],
});

invalidate({
  resource: "menu_items", // Use the same resource name as defined in your resource configuration
  invalidates: ["list", "many"],
});

After making this adjustment, the invalidate call should correctly trigger a refetch of the data for the "menu_items" resource, ensuring your UI is updated to reflect the latest state of your data. Remember, you don't need to manually refresh the UI. The invalidate function, when used correctly, will ensure that Refine refetches the data for the specified resource, which in turn will update the UI automatically. If you're still facing issues, ensure that your resource configuration and usage throughout your application are consistent, especially regarding the resource names. Also, review the documentation or API reference for any additional options or considerations related to the useInvalidate hook: Refine Documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai unfortunantly invalidate({ resource: "menu_items", // Use the same resource name as defined in your resource configuration invalidates: ["list", "many"], }); Doesn't seem to update the list
