Support for postgis and other custom types? #1

Open insanebaba opened 3 years ago

How can I use postgis types with this library?

Electron100 commented 3 years ago

I'm afraid it's not possible today. The ability to add backend-specific support for new datatypes is on the roadmap. I don't have any plans for PostGIS specifically, but that support could be added external to Butane itself once the framework for extension is there.

I've started working on this. Version 0.3 contains the beginning of support for additional Postgres types. Most of these types need special comparison/match operators beyond the ones currently supported, however, so I still need to add support for raw query expressions to make this possible.

Anyone looking to pick this up, there is a commented out test query_custom at https://github.com/Electron100/butane/blob/master/butane/tests/custom_pg.rs#L77 which suggests to design the query expressions.
