Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
**computed field** is an extra field added to a table, its value is
|
|
computed via an SQL function which has the table row type as an input argument.
|
|
Currenty, the Hasura GraphQL engine supports functions returning
|
|
`base types <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/extend-type-system.html#id-1.8.3.5.9>`__ or
|
|
`table row types <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/rowtypes.html#ROWTYPES-DECLARING>`__
|
|
as computed fields.

|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
``pg_add_computed_field`` is used to define a computed field in a table.
|
|
There cannot be an existing column or relationship or computed field with
|
|
the same name.
|
|
|
|
Create a ``computed field`` called ``full_name`` on an ``author`` *table*, using
|
|
an SQL function called ``author_full_name``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: http
|
|
|
|
POST /v1/metadata HTTP/1.1
|
|
Content-Type: application/json
|
|

{

"type":"pg_add_computed_field",
|
|
"args":{

"table":{

"name":"author",
|
|
"schema":"public"
|
|
},
|
|
"source": "default",
|
|
"name":"full_name",
|
|
"definition":{
|
|
"function":{
|
|
"name":"author_full_name",
|
|
"schema":"public"
|
|
},
|
|
"table_argument":"author_row"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}

|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
``pg_drop_computed_field`` is used to drop a computed field of a table. If
|
|
there are other objects dependent on this computed field, like permissions, the request will fail and report the
|
|
dependencies unless ``cascade`` is set to ``true``. If ``cascade`` is set to ``true``, the dependent objects
|
|
are also dropped.
|
|
|
|
Drop a computed field ``full_name`` from a table ``author``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: http
|
|
|
|
POST /v1/metadata HTTP/1.1
|
|
Content-Type: application/json
|

},
|
|
"source": "default",
|

|
"cascade": false
|
|
}
