feat(db): support custom aggregate functions - #1702
Conversation
Add a global, case-insensitive registry for user-defined aggregates. The group-by compiler now looks up registrations before the built-in switch, so custom names work anywhere built-ins do — select, having, and orderBy via $selected — and built-ins can be overridden (warned about in dev) and restored by unregistering. Public API: - createAggregate(name, factory): registers and returns a typed builder, so the aggregate name is declared once and its result type flows into select() - registerAggregate / unregisterAggregate / getRegisteredAggregates for dynamic registration - toExpression, ExpressionLike and the Aggregate type are now exported for the low-level path Factories receive the raw value extractor plus the row key, letting aggregates such as group_concat stay deterministic despite preMap outputs being consolidated by value hash. Arguments after the first are evaluated once at compile time and must be constant, otherwise NonConstantAggregateArgumentError is thrown; UnsupportedAggregateFunctionError now lists registered names. Closes TanStack#1558

🎯 Changes
Aggregate support in
packages/db/src/query/compiler/group-by.tswas a hardcoded switch oversum,count,avg,min,max; every other name threwUnsupportedAggregateFunctionError. Domain-specific aggregations (group_concat,array_agg, bitwise OR, geometric mean, …) required forking the package.This adds a registry for user-defined aggregates built on the existing
{ preMap, reduce, postMap? }contract from@tanstack/db-ivm.Public API
createAggregateregisters an aggregate and returns a typed builder forselect():A lower-level API is exported for dynamic/plugin scenarios:
Also newly exported to support the low-level path:
toExpression, theExpressionLiketype, and theAggregatetype (the class remains reachable asIR.Aggregate).Design notes
preMapoutputs are consolidated by hash insidedb-ivm'sIndex, so two rows producing the same value collapse into one entry with multiplicity 2, and iteration order is map order rather than row order. Passingctx.key(entry)lets aggregates such asgroup_concatkeep per-row identity and sort deterministically.ctx.valueis the raw value — no numeric coercion, unlike thesum/avgpath.reduceis a full recompute.ReduceOperatorpasses the complete consolidated multiset for the group on every change, so implementations need no incremental accumulator bookkeeping. Ignoringmultiplicityunder-counts duplicates; this is called out in the docs.getAggregateFunctionchecks the registry before the built-in switch. That is what allows overriding a built-in, and it also meansunregisterAggregate('sum')restores the built-in for free — no special-casing.paramstuple. A column reference there now throws the newNonConstantAggregateArgumentErrorinstead of silently evaluating toundefined.group_concat(SQL STRING_AGG function in groupBy #422) and the unusedmedian/modeoperators indb-ivmare intentionally out of scope; they are now expressible in user land.aggregatesEqualcompares name + args), nested-in-expression extraction (__agg_N), and ordering via$selected.<alias>.Files
