Typescript gen : invalid SQL Function types

[ngasull]

Bug report

• I confirm this is a bug with Supabase, not with my own application.
• I confirm I have searched the Docs, GitHub Discussions, and Discord.

Describe the bug

For both input and input types, typescript generation of SQL functions is invalid in some cases :

• Primitive types are generated as non-nullable (type instead of type | null) even though the function may accept NULL as input or output
• Domain types are generated as unknown

I think that this bug is not caused by a PostgreSQL limitation as views produce the correct typing : primitives are nullable, domains generate as their underlying type and when domains are marked NOT NULL they are even non-nullable in typescript.

To Reproduce

CREATE DOMAIN strict_text AS text NOT NULL;

CREATE FUNCTION some_function(arg strict_text)
RETURNS table (nulltext text, stricttext strict_text)
LANGUAGE SQL AS $$
   SELECT NULL::uuid, arg
$$;

Generated type with supabase gen types typescript --local

export interface Database {
  public: {
    Functions: {
      some_function: {
        Args: {
          arg: unknown
        }
        Returns: {
          nulltext: string
          stricttext: unknown
        }[]
      }
    }
  }
}

Expected behavior

Generated types should be

export interface Database {
  public: {
    Functions: {
      some_function: {
        Args: {
          arg: string
        }
        Returns: {
          nulltext: string | null
          stricttext: string
        }[]
      }
    }
  }
}

System information

• OS: [e.g. Linux NixOS]
• Version of supabase CLI: 1.50.8
• Version of Node.js: 18.15.0

Additional context

I ❤️ the work being done and the mindset at Supabase. I believe strict typing is crucial to the success of a "backend in the DB" and I could help with a PR if I'm being given some pointers to the code responsible of the TS generation 👋

Thanks for the detailed bug report. The typescript generation code is in postgres-meta repo if you are keen to take a look.

Just pushed a PR for this issue, feel free to have a look! 🙂

That would be a great addition to the client library tho :3 I would love to see it live in the near future!
