server.DatabaseReader

Deprecated

query

▸ query<TableName>(tableName): QueryInitializer<NamedTableInfo<DataModel, TableName>>

TableName	extends string

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
tableName	TableName	The name of the table to query.

Returns

QueryInitializer<NamedTableInfo<DataModel, TableName>>

• A QueryInitializer object to start building a query.

normalizeId

▸ normalizeId<TableName>(tableName, id): null | GenericId<TableName>

Returns the string ID format for the ID in a given table, or null if the ID is from a different table or is not a valid ID.

This accepts the string ID format as well as the .toString() representation of the legacy class-based ID format.

This does not guarantee that the ID exists (i.e. db.get(id) may return null).

Type parameters

Name	Type
TableName	extends string

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
tableName	TableName	The name of the table.
id	string	The ID string.

Returns

null | GenericId<TableName>
