<FilterDropdown> "ina" Operator to Filter in Arrays
I currently have a <FilterDropdown> tag, but unfortunately am getting the error "could not find array type for data type uuid[]". I believe this is due to the operator being used being "in" instead of "contains", or in this case "ina" (as I see that this was added as an operator fairly recently in Refine).
Does anybody know a property I can add to FilterDropdown to change its operator?

Hi @obelisk291. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
It seems that you are trying to use the
ina
operator with the <FilterDropdown>
component in Refine. Unfortunately, as per the information available, the <FilterDropdown>
component does not support changing the operator directly through its properties due to limitations in Ant Design's filtering capabilities.
However, there are a few workarounds and suggestions that might help you achieve the desired functionality:
1. Using initialFilter
with useTable
:
You can set the initial filter with the desired operator using the initialFilter
property in the useTable
hook. This approach allows you to define the operator initially, although it might not dynamically change through the dropdown.

2. Using setFilter
Method:
You can use the setFilter
method of the useTable
hook to programmatically set the filter with the desired operator. This method provides more flexibility and can be used to update the filter dynamically.

3. Custom Filter Component:
If you need more control over the filtering logic, you might consider creating a custom filter component that handles the operator and value as needed. This approach allows you to bypass the limitations of the <FilterDropdown>
component.

Unfortunately, there is no direct property to change the operator in <FilterDropdown>
due to the limitations mentioned. You might need to use one of the workarounds above to achieve the desired filtering behavior.

@kapa.ai The initial filters worked when I used "contains" ("ina" didn't exist). I am now getting another error, which is the following:
{
"code": "42883",
"details": null,
"hint": "No operator matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.",
"message": "operator does not exist: uuid[] ~~* unknown",
"statusCode": 42883
}
Supabase is being used.
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
It looks like you're encountering an error related to the use of the
ina
operator with UUID arrays in Supabase. The error message indicates that the operator does not exist for the given types, which suggests that there might be a type mismatch or an unsupported operation.
Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
1. Check Data Types:
Ensure that the data types of the columns and the values you are filtering match. The ina
operator might not be supported for UUID arrays directly. You might need to cast the types explicitly.
2. Use contains
Operator:
If ina
is causing issues, you might want to revert to using the contains
operator, which is known to work with arrays. However, note that contains
might not be case-insensitive.
3. Custom Filter Logic:
If the built-in operators are not working as expected, you can implement custom filter logic using Supabase's query methods directly.
Here is an example of how you might implement custom filter logic using Supabase's contains
method:
4. Review Supabase Documentation:
Refer to the Supabase documentation for more details on supported operators and data types:
- Supabase JavaScript Client (https://supabase.com/docs/reference/javascript/contains)
- Supabase Filtering (https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/queries)
5. Update Refine and Supabase Packages:
Ensure that you are using the latest versions of Refine and Supabase packages, as there might have been updates or bug fixes related to this issue.
If you continue to face issues, you might want to open a new issue on the Refine GitHub repository or seek help from the community on their Discord channel.
For more context, you can refer to the related issues and discussions:
