How to make simple select count with Ash
Hi,
maybe a noob question here 😅 but I'm wondering which is the right way of making a simple select count of my Users on a Postgres-based app.
I could do that with
MyApi.count(MyResource) but on the docs that method belongs to the ambigous Ash.Filter.ShadowApi module.
I can't find anything else on the docs 🤷🏼♂️
For context, I'm trying to make some filtered and unfiltered counts on my direct resource and not an aggregate count on related resources.3 Replies
I should hide that
ShadowApi module from the docs 🙂
count/1 is defined on your own api module as described
Yeah, it looks like we don't document those in the callbacks section, sorry about that
but resource |> Ash.Query.for_read(...) |> YourApi.count() should be what you are looking for
I've updated the docs so it should show up in Ash.Api
as a callback
so you'd still call YourApi.count(ResourceOrQuery)Thank you @Zach Daniel 😊
The docs changes I made won't show up until a new version is released though, just FYI
My pleasure 🙇
