I think this is proper behavior of the parser, since you defined a specific sub property of the flexible object in the schema it should at least contains a test
property.
Using CREATE test SET obj = { test: "hello world" };
or CREATE test SET obj = { test: "hello world", a: "don't mind me", b: 10 };
should work.
You could make the test
property optional using option<string>
for what you want to achieve (thus enforcing a specific type for this specific property), but that is currently failing too (which in this case is a bug).
also not that your schema is incorrect it should be DEFINE FIELD
and not DEFINE FILED
from surrealdb.
I believe whenever there's a *
in the path, it should be optional, as it currently is for sub-array types. You can't assume if they key will be present or not.
In the case of *
for objects, I don't think it would make sense to restrict objects to require at least 1 key to be present, you can use ASSERT
if you need this. It really should be optional, so empty objects should be allowed.
from surrealdb.
I suppose to emphasize my last point, if you currently write
DEFINE FIELD test.* ON TABLE test TYPE string;
If you run INFO FOR TABLE test
, you'll notice that it rewrote the field definition to:
DEFINE FIELD test[*] ...
insinuating that whildcard parts of a type path really should be optional as they are for arrays.
from surrealdb.
In my eyes it makes more sense to rely on the subfield definition using the option
keyword :
- it's more readable
- it's more practical for the parser implementation (avoiding the need to go back to the parent definition when parsing objects recursively)
Furthermore :
- the
ASSERT
keyword is supposed to check logical constraints not types constraints (that's why we haveSCHEMAFULL
definitions) - the
FLEXIBLE
keyword is only there to allow extra values not specified in aSCHEMAFULL
context, as per the documentation says :
Flexible types allow you to have SCHEMALESS functionality on a SCHEMAFULL table. This is necessary for working with nested object types, which by nature do not have defined fields.
