Is there currently a known issue with arktype + trpc compatibility?
This is with latest RC.12
This occurs when I do
.input(type(anything).assert)
. If I do something such as .input((i) => type(anything).assert(i))
, it works fine.
How on earth is it ending up with this
being undefined when it is run this way?4 replies

How would you define an object with optional keys, but require at least one of the keys to be filled
An example of a very basic schema:
I'd like this to accept values
{a: 'foo'}
, { b: 'foo' }
, and { a: 'foo', b: 'bar' }
, but fail on {}
. It would be a lovely bonus for the type to be inferred as { a: string, b?: string } | { a?: string, b: string }
as well. Is there a way to do this without explicitly specifying that inferred type as an arktype union using .or

Is there a recommended way to transform a type union into a discriminated union by adding a tag?
I'm not sure I'm describing this well, but I have a situation with two types that I am .or-ing together.
It all works, but I'm interacting with a library that needs a discriminated union to function properly for type narrowing, and I am not sure how to add a discriminated union tag based on which type in the Or resolved (if that makes sense?)
Here's a simple example to demonstrate:
I'd like to have this be resolve to e.g. { key: string, tag: 'first' } | { key: number, tag: 'second' } based on which branch in the union was followed.
I've tried it with this:
and it works - but seems inelegant. Is there a more idiomatic solution?

Is there a way to do a case insensitive literal match?
I can pipe a
string.lower
to a lower-case literal but that seems complicated for this.27 replies

Is there a way to perform schema parsing generically?
My reasoning is to integrate Arktype with https://effect.website/
This most simple example fails:
This fails as the return type of
.assert
is finalizeDistillation<T, _distill<T, { endpoint: "out"; }>>
Is there a way to coerce this back to a T
? Or is there some constraint I need to put on the T
input to make this work?31 replies

How do you define two tables that have foreign keys to each other? drizzle-kit introspect fails
Drizzle-kit now generates a schema file with type errors - it was previously working prior to 0.24.0.
In addition, the generated foreign key entry for multicolumn foreign keys has the columns in the incorrect order.

vscode intellisense errors on the same type definition in some files, but not others
e.g. the following type:
In some files, this works fine. In others, in the exact same project, this causes the following error:
Any ideas for what might be going on?

What's the recommended way to do a basic filter by a boolean column's value?
I can't figure out how to use a non-filter expression for filtering.
e.g., I would expect
db.select().from(appointment).where(appointment.canceled)
to generate the equivalent sql select * from appointment where appointment.canceled
, which works exactly how I expect. .where(() => appointment.canceled)
or .where((a) => a.canceled)
don't work either.
I can use
but surely there must be a simpler way?
I can provide this column as an argument to a filter, so why can't I use this column itself as a filter?3 replies

Are there examples of how to create mapped types?
e.g. a
{ [K in <SomeOtherType>]: SomeValueType }
type, where SomeValueType
is either a static type or is computed from K.
I currently have a very basic setup where I have:
This pattern allows me to generate, from a string array, a validator for an element in that array, a type for an element of the resulting string union type, and a type for a runtime object that lets me access the values analogous to an enum. And it's great!
My question is, I have the following type definition:
Is there a way to write an ArkType function that will generate a validator for this type (and the type definition itself), given the kitTypes
array?
My initial attempt is:
Obviously, this doesn't work, since the type information is completely lost. It actually works fine at runtime but the type is useless. Is there a way to do this without writing it out explicitly? (I have 5+ other enums that I'd like to process in a similar way)22 replies

How to accept a generic non-empty const string array for use in `type`?
Note: this may be a TS question, feel free to send me there instead.
I have the following type:
PgEnum<TValues extends [string, ...string[]]> { enumValues: TValues; }
I'm attempting to create a function which accepts this object and returns an arktype instance of the union of the strings in the array, which is const with well-known values.
If I call it directly from the const signature, e.g. type('===', obj.enumValues)
, it works fine. But I can't figure out how to accept this as a generic function parameter and use it in the body.
I have tried:
This fails on the spread argument with
Unwinding the generic produces different errors:
leads to A spread argument must either have a tuple type or be passed to a rest parameter.
Replacing string[]
with [string, ...string[]]
leads to the same issue.
I suspect the two generic parameters is the closer approach, but I have no idea what this conform<>
error is, or how to begin to address it.3 replies

New string mode date handling for postgres in 0.30.0 is potentially inconsistent
When selecting a value from a column of type
timestamp with time zone
, I receive the following string format: 2024-01-19 16:54:36.74526+00
When selecting a value from a column of type date
, I receive the following string format: 1990-01-01T00:00:00.000Z
It appears the serialization changes for the postgres driver may not be working - the ones here https://github.com/drizzle-team/drizzle-orm/blob/main/drizzle-orm/src/postgres-js/driver.ts#L27
If I define my own custom type as:
in the postgres-js options, then suddenly I receive the raw sql values I expect: 1990-01-01

Issuing multiple sql queries in order, but without waiting for round trips?
I need to run several commands to set up transaction variables for my use case. They need to be run in order, but I don't need the result of any of them. Is there a way to issue e.g. 3 sequential commands in a single query to the database so I don't have to wait for the round trip for each one, like happens now with
await tx.execute(.....)
3 times in a row?21 replies

How do you create a scalar subquery in drizzle?
I want to create the drizzle analog of
select * from table_a where id = (select a_id from table_b where id = <....>)
This works in raw SQL, but I'm not sure how to construct the subquery to get only the a_id
field to supply in the where condition.

Is there a way to get the update count resulting from a query without returning?
I would like to assert that a statement in a transaction updates only the number of rows I expect, and fail if that number is different. I can do it with
result.length
and returning()
but that includes a ton of data I don't need.8 replies

Does calling `drizzle()` multiple times on the same db client instance consume more resources?
related to a question from: https://github.com/drizzle-team/drizzle-orm/issues/594
Would using the same
postgres(...)
client instance and creating multiple Drizzle instances from it, e.g. one for each request in a middleware, consume additional database connection resources compared to creating one drizzle instance for the whole server process?
@Angelelz this is related to the question you asked in the github issue. I believe my current implementation doesn't have this problem since it uses proxies, but I was about to refactor to call drizzle()
once per request and want to make sure I'm not about to blow up my database!7 replies

Is there a better way to extract Typescript types for use in function args than what I'm doing here?
It works well enough, but this seems like something which should be exposed on a library level, maybe? I need it in order to e.g. write a function which takes in a transaction and performs operations on it, such that multiple functions can be called on a single transaction and then the transaction either committed or rolled back as one unit (so the client cannot be passed in instead).

Has JSON aggregation been added yet (analogous to Kysely?)
I added some
jsonAgg...
functions to generate raw SQL to helper utilities a while back, in order to generate arrays of nested json objects in aggregation. There was discussion of adding these as first-class drizzle functions, did that ever happen?

Is there a way to explicitly type certain drizzle results as `Array<T | undefined>`?
For example, I am making a query which I know will sometimes return undefined, since I am accessing a row that may or may not be present. I'm not sure how to type this such that I have type safety through the rest of the code to ensure that I never access properties without undefined checks.
I'm aware of Typescript
noUncheckedIndexedAccess
but that will change the behavior of all arrays everywhere in my codebase, which I do not want. I just want the ability to indicate that a certain Drizzle select result will sometimes have no items returned.
e.g. const [maybeExistingEntity] = await drizzle.select(.....).limit(1)
now strongly types maybeExistingEntity
where I would like the type to be T | undefined

Is there a way to configure pg introspect to generate date rather than string inference columns?
My workflow involves writing migrations by hand outside of drizzle and using schema introspection to pull in changes. This works well except for date columns, which are always generated as
mode: 'string'
by default.16 replies

Creating join table that is simultaneously many-to-many and one-to-many
got a data modeling / sql question for you all:
I have an entity A with either a many-to-many relationship to B, or a one-to-many relationship to C. There must be a unique ordering of all relationships from A to B or C, such that we can define an ordering such as B1, B2, C1, B3, C2... etc
B and C are different entities, with wildly different table structures, and therefore cannot be combined into a single table.
I am solving this with:
A, B, and C all have
id
primary key fields.
I create a table a_joins
as:
This allows me to ensure an ordering for all a_id
entries, such that each entry in the ordering points to either a b
(shared by many a) or a c
(for this a only).
The problem I have is that I want cascade delete behavior, such that on deletion of a
, the a_joins
entries are deleted (which works due to cascade), and any c
associated with a
is deleted as well.
How would you recommend I accomplish this? I attempted to add a foreign key relationship to c
to perform the cascade:
This should ensure both that a c
entry only ever points to the single unique a_joins
entry that references it, and that the c
entry is deleted when the corresponding a_joins
entry is removed. However, this fails due to the lack of a unique index on a_joins (c_id, id)
, even though both of those columns are individually marked as either unique or primary key. How is this possible?32 replies
