.contains()

const { data, error } = await supabase
  .from('countries')
  .select('name, id, main_exports')
  .contains('main_exports', ['oil'])

Notes​

  • .contains() can work on array columns or range columns. It is very useful for finding rows where a tag array contains all the values in the filter array.

    .contains('arraycol',["a","b"]) // You can use a javascript array for an array column
    .contains('arraycol','{"a","b"}') // You can use a string with Postgres array {} for array column.
    .contains('rangecol','(1,2]') // Use Postgres range syntax for range column.
    .contains('rangecol',`(${arr}]`) // You can insert an array into a string.

Examples​

With select()​

const { data, error } = await supabase
  .from('countries')
  .select('name, id, main_exports')
  .contains('main_exports', ['oil'])

With update()​

const { data, error } = await supabase
  .from('countries')
  .update({ name: 'Mordor' })
  .contains('main_exports', ['oil'])

With delete()​

const { data, error } = await supabase
  .from('countries')
  .delete()
  .contains('main_exports', ['oil'])

With rpc()​

// Only valid if the Postgres function returns a table type.
const { data, error } = await supabase
  .rpc('echo_all_countries')
  .contains('main_exports', ['oil'])
