Hi, I can’t find anything related to aggregation functions in the v4 documentation ( REST / Entity Service / Query engine).
My assumption is that it the Strapi layer doesnt provide those at this time. So how could I do to customize my controller in the mean time ?
I know that Strapi is built on top of BookshelfJS, which itself uses KnexJS, but I can’t find any examples of how to use those within a Strapi controller.
My usecase is : Get the SUM of all the amount in the table PAYMENT for a given USER
Thanks !
Could you use the API to gather all payment information and calculate a sum that way?
Hi, thank you for your answer ! That could be a solution when I only retrieve the user’s payments and there’s not a lot of them.
Problem is : I also have an admin dashboard, with a view that shows all the payments from all the users in a server-paginated table. In this view I also would like to have stats ( so for example, the sum of all the payments amount from all users in a given time range).
My table is paginated so I cannot use its payload to calculate this amount if I have more than 1 page. I could create another endpoint just to calculate those stats, and use findMany, then loop and sum the amounts manually, but that would be expensive on a relatively big array of payments ? ( like 1000-5000 items ) ?
That’s why I thought about aggregation…
