Make `filter` and `not` behave like their per-filter method counterparts
Feature request
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now filter
and not
just takes the operator and value as a string without additional preprocessing. This means e.g. we can't use lists in NOT IN
(see https://github.com/supabase/supabase/discussions/2055). It also causes some confusion when it comes to filter methods that use a different name to PostgREST, e.g. cs
vs. contains
.
Describe the solution you'd like
- Make
not
switch on the operator and basically copy the code for each filter methods, - make
not
accept e.g.contains
,containedBy
, etc., - keep
filter
as-is, but repurpose it as some sort of escape hatch.
This allows us to make per-filter methods and not
cover 99% of the cases, and for the 1% we can use filter
.
Question: what do we do about options like foreignTable
, textSearch config
in not
?
Describe alternatives you've considered
None.
