Querying the API

Let's say we have this generated data structure:

By default Marblism will generate all the following endpoint for the table Tweet:

Api.Tweet.findMany(queryOptions: QueryOptions)
Api.Tweet.findOne(id: string)
Api.Tweet.createOne(Partial<Tweet>)
Api.Tweet.updateOne(id: string, Partial<Tweet>)
Api.Tweet.deleteOne(id: string)
Api.Tweet.findByUserId(id: string)
Api.Tweet.createByUserId(id: string, Partial<Tweet>)

QueryOptions allows you to do four things:

  • includes related objects in the objects you are fetching
  • filter data
  • order data
  • pagination

Comment is related to Tweet. I can include the comments and the user associated to each comment of a specific tweet with just one request:

const tweets = Api.Tweet.findOne('73733892', {
  includes: ['comments', 'comments.user'],
})
console.log(tweets)
// {
//   'id': '73733892',
//   'userId': '9393939',
//   'content': 'Im a tweet',
//   'comments': [{
//     'userId': '93493939',
//     'comment': 'Top tweet!',
//     'user': {
//        'id':'9393939',
//        'profilePicture': 'https://...'
//      }
//   }],
// }

Filter data by attributes​

const tweets = Api.Tweet.findMany({
  filters: {
    content: {
      like: 'Im a tweet',
    },
  },
})
// fetch all tweets with the field 'content' containing "Im a tweet"

Here are all the available filters available:

eq?: number // Equal to
neq?: number // Not equal to
gt?: number // Greater than
gte?: number // Greater than or equal to
lt?: number // Less than
lte?: number // Less than or equal to
in?: any[] // In array
nin?: any[] // Not in array
like?: string // case sensitive
ilike?: string // not case sensitive

Order by date​

const tweetsRecent = Api.Tweet.findMany({
  orders: { dateCreated: 'DESC' },
})
const tweetsOld = Api.Tweet.findMany({
  orders: { dateCreated: 'ASC' },
})
