[FIXED] How to queries in supabase realtime?

Issue

Most of the blogs and stacks suggests below database for chat.

message_table
-id
-message
-conversationId
-sender
-receiverId

conversation_table
-id
-conversationId

Now message_table look like this.

So, for the chat screen I subscribe the message table.

final mySubscription = supabase
  .from('message_table')
  .on(SupabaseEventTypes.all, (payload) {
    // Handle realtime payload
  })
  .subscribe();

if user1 and user2 are chatting, they will get all messages from this table.

So, how to filter this data with specified conversationId in supabase to stop receive the other message of other users and for reduce of bandwidth ?

And Is this database viable ?

Solution

You can add eq filter on your realtime listeners like this:

supabase-flutter v1.X

final subscription = supabase.channel('unique_channel').on(
    RealtimeListenTypes.postgresChanges,
    ChannelFilter(
      event: '*',
      schema: 'public',
      table: 'message_table',
      filter: 'conversationId=eq.conv12',
    ), (payload, [ref]) {
      // handle realtime here
}).subscribe();

supabase-flutter v0.X

final subscription = supabase
  .from('message_table:conversationId=eq.conv12')
  .on(SupabaseEventTypes.all, (payload) {
    // Handle realtime payload
  })
  .subscribe();
