If Supabase returns data from a table that contains columns parentid
and childname
such as (with the JavaScript API):
{
"data": [
{
"parentid": 1,
"childname": "alice"
},
{
"parentid": 1,
"childname": "bobby"
},
{
"parentid": 2,
"childname": "charlie"
},
],
"status": 200,
"statusText": "OK"
}
is it possible to create a View or SQL Function that groups rows with identical parentid
into arrays, like this:
{
"data": [
{
"parentid": 1,
"children": [
{
"childname": "alice"
},
{
"childname": "bobby"
},
]
},
{
"parentid": 2,
"children": [
{
"childname": "charlie"
}
]
},
],
"status": 200,
"statusText": "OK"
}
I could form this aggregation within the client, but for efficiency I would prefer that this happens within the database.
