GroupedAs

The GroupedAs type describes an object returned from calling a Group function so that the grouped Cell Id can be optionally aliased.

{as: (groupedCellId: Id) => void}
TypeDescription
as(groupedCellId: Id) => void

A function that lets you specify an alias for the grouped Cell Id.

Note that if two Group clauses are both aliased to the same name (or if you create two groups of the same underlying Cell, both without aliases), only the latter of two will be used in the query.

Example

This example shows a query that groups the same underlying Cell twice, for different purposes. Both groups are aliased with the 'as' function to disambiguate them.

import {createQueries, createStore} from 'tinybase';

const store = createStore().setTable('pets', {
  fido: {species: 'dog', price: 5},
  felix: {species: 'cat', price: 4},
  cujo: {species: 'dog', price: 4},
  tom: {species: 'cat', price: 3},
});

const queries = createQueries(store);
queries.setQueryDefinition('query', 'pets', ({select, group}) => {
  select('pets', 'species');
  select('pets', 'price');
  group('price', 'min').as('minPrice');
  group('price', 'max').as('maxPrice');
});

queries.forEachResultRow('query', (rowId) => {
  console.log({[rowId]: queries.getResultRow('query', rowId)});
});
// -> {0: {species: 'dog', minPrice: 4, maxPrice: 5}}
// -> {1: {species: 'cat', minPrice: 3, maxPrice: 4}}
