Summary

Functions

Create a ShapeDefinition for the given table_name.

Return a string representation of the shape's table, quoted for use in API URLs.

Types

@type option() ::
  {:where, nil | binary()}
  | {:columns, nil | [binary()]}
  | {:namespace, nil | binary()}
  | {:parser, {module(), [term()]}}
@type options() :: [option()]
@type t() :: %Electric.Client.ShapeDefinition{
  columns: [String.t(), ...] | nil,

@spec new(String.t(), options()) :: {:ok, t()} | {:error, term()}

Create a ShapeDefinition for the given table_name.

Options

  • :where - Filter the table according to the where clause. The default value is nil.

  • :columns - List of columns to include in the shape. Must include all primary keys. If nil this is equivalent to all columns (SELECT *) The default value is nil.

  • :namespace - The namespace the table belongs to. If nil then Postgres will use whatever schema is the default (usually public). The default value is nil.

  • :parser - A {module, args} tuple specifying the Electric.Client.ValueMapper implementation to use for mapping values from the sync stream into Elixir terms. The default value is {Electric.Client.ValueMapper, []}.
