How to print tablename from generic type?
I'm trying to write a
getDocOrThrow helper along the lines of whats shown in the screenshot. I would like to also be able to pass an _id for data correction purposes. I would also need to print the table of the referencing document, otehrwise it's too hard to track down from _id on its own . Can this be done?
.__tableName doesn't work, it just resolves to undefined. Can't I somehow print the tablename from my generic type R?

I noticed that the dashboard can tell very quickly from which table a given
_id originates, even when passed to some random filter. How can I leverage this?
I would recommend passing the table name into the function. It's not present at runtime. The dashboard does a hacky thing, checking the ID against every table using an internal api to get the list of all tables. and eventually the dashboard's method will no longer work, because IDs don't actually have tables in them, it's just at type-time
yeah ok thanks, that's pretty much what AI explained to me as well! I have resorted to passing the table name in until now, and its ok (especially since i get intellisense autocompletion on the table name based on the id parameter)
