ORDER BY in agg function.

Hi, I would like to represent something like

json_agg(table ORDER BY column) as values

json_agg(table ORDER BY column) as values

in kysely. How would I go about doing this? Thanks in advance.

Hey 👋

import { sql } from 'kysely'

// ...

.select(sql<Type>`json_agg(table order by column)`.as("values"))

import { sql } from 'kysely'

// ...

.select(sql<Type>`json_agg(table order by column)`.as("values"))

We don't have built-in support for json_agg, eb.table (unreleased probably) or order by of a table ref. So this is the best approach right now imho. Can you provide docs link of this SQL syntax?

Thank you, I am currently using sql but I did not realise you could pass a type argument! I found this in the postgres docs: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-expressions.html#SYNTAX-AGGREGATES
