Knex alias where












0














I use knex to query my backend



knex('project AS p')
.select('p.name as projectName')
.where('p.name', 'abc')


If i use p.name = 'abc' then the code works



However I got error when I use:



.where(projectName, 'abc') 
.where(p.name, 'abc')
.where({projectName: abc})


I want to use alias to query not the p.name because when the frontend send a request, tehy send ?projectName='abc' not 'p.name'='abc'. Do you know how to do it



Example



SELECT 
cp.id AS cId,
(CASE WHEN cp.id = 7 THEN 'abc' ELSE 'NOT abc' END) AS abc
FROM customer_project AS cp
;


How I query like this



SELECT 
cp.id AS cId,
(CASE WHEN cp.id = 7 THEN 'abc' ELSE 'NOT abc' END) AS abc
FROM customer_project AS cp
WHERE abc = 'abc'
;


Got error column abc does not exits. But I really want to query on abc column (although it does not exits on schema but I create it)

          Use .toSQL() to check out what kind of queries knex generates in your case. Your examples in post are not working (there are even syntax errors), so I cannot tell exactly what you are doing wrong.



          However this should work correctly also with knex:



          > const Knex = require('knex');
          undefined
          > const knex = Knex({
          ... client: 'pg',
          ... });
          undefined
          >
          > console.log(
          ... knex('project AS p')
          ... .select('p.name as projectName')
          ... .where('p.name', 'abc')
          ... .where('projectName', 'abc')
          ... .toSQL()
          ... );
          { method: 'select',

          And to me that generated SQL looks just fine.
