Supabase how to rename column

I am trying something like

 const { data, isLoading, error } = useMany<OrganisationMemberWithOrganisation>({
      resource: 'organisation_member',
      ids: userId ? [userId] : [],
      meta: {
        idColumnName: 'user_id',
        select: '*, organisation_id(*) as "organisation"'
    },
    });

 const { data, isLoading, error } = useMany<OrganisationMemberWithOrganisation>({
      resource: 'organisation_member',
      ids: userId ? [userId] : [],
      meta: {
        idColumnName: 'user_id',
        select: '*, organisation_id(*) as "organisation"'
    },
    });

Where I'm trying to rename organisation_id to organisation but it's not working

Hi @Richard. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can offer some guidance on renaming columns when using Supabase with refine. However, the exact syntax you're trying to use isn't directly covered in the provided information. Let me explain what is possible and suggest an alternative approach. The Supabase data provider in refine allows you to use the meta property to customize your queries, including the select statement. However, the syntax for renaming columns is slightly different from what you've attempted. Instead of using as "organisation", you should use the Supabase syntax for renaming, which is to use a colon :. Here's how you could modify your code:

const { data, isLoading, error } = useMany<OrganisationMemberWithOrganisation>({
  resource: 'organisation_member',
  ids: userId ? [userId] : [],
  meta: {
    idColumnName: 'user_id',
    select: '*, organisation_id:organisation(*)'
  },
});

const { data, isLoading, error } = useMany<OrganisationMemberWithOrganisation>({
  resource: 'organisation_member',
  ids: userId ? [userId] : [],
  meta: {
    idColumnName: 'user_id',
    select: '*, organisation_id:organisation(*)'
  },
});

This syntax tells Supabase to select all columns (*), and then select all columns from the organisation_id relation, renaming it to organisation. The use of meta.select for customizing queries is documented in the Supabase Data Provider documentation. The documentation states: "We pass a select value in meta object to perform relational database operation in Supabase data provider. The data provider methods are using Supabase select property internally." While the exact renaming syntax isn't explicitly shown in the provided knowledge sources, the general approach of using meta.select for customizing queries is correct. The specific syntax for renaming (column:new_name) is a Supabase feature rather than a refine-specific one. If you're still encountering issues with this approach, you might need to consult the Supabase documentation directly or consider post-processing the data after fetching to rename the property as needed. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai That didn't work

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I apologize that the previous suggestion didn't work as expected. Thank you for letting me know. Since the proposed solution was not successful, let's explore this further based on the information available in our knowledge sources. Unfortunately, the provided knowledge sources don't contain specific information about troubleshooting this particular issue with renaming columns in Supabase when using refine. The sources mainly cover basic usage of the Supabase data provider with refine, but don't go into depth about complex query scenarios or debugging. Given the limitations of the information available, I cannot provide a definitive solution to your problem. However, I can suggest a few general steps you might consider: 1. Double-check that you're using the latest versions of both refine and the Supabase data provider, as there might be version-specific issues. 2. Try simplifying your query to isolate the problem. For example, you could try selecting just the organisation_id without renaming:

   meta: {
     idColumnName: 'user_id',
     select: '*, organisation_id(*)'
   }

   meta: {
     idColumnName: 'user_id',
     select: '*, organisation_id(*)'
   }

3. If that works, the issue might be specifically with the renaming syntax. In this case, you might need to consult the Supabase documentation directly for the correct syntax for renaming in complex queries. 4. Consider using a custom query if the useMany hook doesn't provide enough flexibility for your needs. The Supabase data provider might have limitations that aren't immediately apparent from the documentation provided. If you continue to face issues, it would be beneficial to seek help from the refine community or Supabase support channels, as they might have more specific knowledge about this particular use case. I apologize that I couldn't provide a more concrete solution. The knowledge sources available don't contain enough detailed information to troubleshoot this specific scenario. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai i have a question here. what if i want to select one of the properties and set directly to the root object? like i want to set organisationName: organisation_id.name and not { organisation_id: { name: xxx } }

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the information available in the knowledge sources, I can provide some guidance on how to select and structure your data when using the Supabase data provider with refine. However, the specific scenario you're asking about isn't directly addressed in the provided documentation. The Supabase data provider in refine allows you to customize your queries using the meta property, particularly the select option. While we don't have an exact example of flattening a nested property as you've described, we can attempt to use Supabase's SQL-like syntax to achieve what you're looking for. You might try something like this:

const { data, isLoading, error } = useMany<OrganisationMemberWithOrganisation>({
  resource: 'organisation_member',
  ids: userId ? [userId] : [],
  meta: {
    idColumnName: 'user_id',
    select: '*, organisation_id(name):organisationName'
  },
});

const { data, isLoading, error } = useMany<OrganisationMemberWithOrganisation>({
  resource: 'organisation_member',
  ids: userId ? [userId] : [],
  meta: {
    idColumnName: 'user_id',
    select: '*, organisation_id(name):organisationName'
  },
});

This syntax attempts to select the name from the organisation_id relation and rename it to organisationName at the root level of the returned object. However, I must caution that this is an educated guess based on the general principles of SQL and Supabase query syntax. The Supabase Data Provider documentation doesn't provide specific examples for this kind of nested selection and renaming. If this approach doesn't work, you might need to consider alternatives: 1. Fetch the data with the nested structure and then transform it on the client side to flatten it as needed. 2. Use a custom query that allows more complex SQL operations to structure the data as you need it. 3. Consider creating a view in your Supabase database that presents the data in the structure you want, and then query that view instead. If you continue to face challenges with this, it might be worth reaching out to the refine community or Supabase support for more specific guidance, as the knowledge sources provided don't cover this particular use case in depth. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
