monolayer / schema / bytea

Function: bytea()

bytea(): PgBytea

Column that stores binary strings.

Returns

PgBytea

Remarks

Kysely database schema type definition

ts
{
  readonly __select__: Buffer | null;
  readonly __insert__: Buffer | string | null | undefined;
  readonly __update__: Buffer | string | null;
};

Nullability and optionality will change according to the column's constraints, generated values, and default data values.

Zod Schema

Types:

ts
{
  input?: Buffer | string | null | undefined;
  output?: Buffer | string | null | undefined;
}

Nullability and optionality will change according to the column's constraints, generated values, and default data values.

Validations:

  • Explicit undefined values are rejected.
  • Value must be a Buffer, string, or null.

Note: Since Buffer is a Node.js API, the schema will not coerce the input to Buffer for browser compatibility.

Example

ts
import { schema, table, bytea } from "monolayer/pg";
import { zodSchema } from "monolayer/zod";

const dbSchema = schema({
  tables: {
    example: table({
      columns: {
        image: bytea(),
      },
    }),
  },
});

// Kysely database schema type
type DB = typeof dbSchema.infer;
// Zod Schema
const schema = zodSchema(database.tables.example);
