What

Resolves the three open design questions in #1594 for v3.

One type parameter. PostgrestBuilder<T, S, R> is now PostgrestBuilder<T>, where T is what awaiting the request resolves to. Every step that changes the result (select(), single(), maybeSingle(), csv(), explain(), count(), withConverter()) supplies a private decoder T Function(Object? body, int? count), and decoders compose in call order. The converter is therefore a terminal mapping over whatever the chain resolved to, rather than an S/R pair threaded through every builder signature. The runtime R == PostgrestList re-typing of decoded JSON is kept as a single _bodyAs<T> helper.

No wrapper classes. RawPostgrestBuilder and ResponsePostgrestBuilder are gone. They only varied the return type of withConverter(). Both withConverter() and count() now live on PostgrestBuilder<T>:

// Convert the data, then count.
final response = await supabase
    .from('users')
    .select()
    .withConverter((rows) => rows.map(User.fromJson).toList())
    .count(CountOption.exact);
// response is PostgrestResponse<List<User>>

A converter placed after count() receives the whole PostgrestResponse, so the old order fails to compile and points at each call site to update. This also fixes geojson(), which returned a ResponsePostgrestBuilder whose declared T was a Map while claiming a PostgrestResponse from withConverter().

requestTimeout stays separate from the retry options. It bounds a single attempt and applies with retries disabled, so it is not retry configuration and SupabaseRetryOptions (shared with auth and storage, which have no such knob) deliberately does not carry it. To make that explicit the per-request override moves out of retry(requestTimeout:) into its own requestTimeout(Duration) method, available at the same points as retry(): on PostgrestQueryBuilder before the operation and on every executable builder after it, keeping its place in the filter chain.

Public API changes

Before After
PostgrestBuilder<T, S, R> PostgrestBuilder<T>
RawPostgrestBuilder, ResponsePostgrestBuilder removed
PostgrestBuilder(count: …, converter: …) PostgrestBuilder(…).count(…).withConverter(…)
PostgrestTransformBuilder.count() PostgrestBuilder.count()
geojson()ResponsePostgrestBuilder<Map, Map, Map> PostgrestBuilder<Map<String, dynamic>>
.retry(requestTimeout: d) .requestTimeout(d)

MIGRATION.md has a new section covering all of it, AGENTS.md describes the decoder model, and sdk-compliance.yaml is reconciled (wrapper symbols pruned, PostgrestBuilder.withConverter, PostgrestBuilder.count and the four requestTimeout methods registered).

Tests

  • withConverter before and after count(), after single() and after maybeSingle().
  • requestTimeout() on the executable builder, on the query builder before the operation, and mid-chain followed by filters and transforms.
  • Full postgrest suite passes locally with --concurrency=1 (351 tests). supabase, supabase_flutter and both example apps analyze cleanly.
  • Local runs of the pinned compliance tooling (check-api-symbols, check-drift, validate-compliance) all pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added composable result conversion with withConverter(), including selections, single-row responses, optional results, and counts.
    • Added dedicated per-request requestTimeout() configuration throughout query chains.
  • Breaking Changes

    • Simplified builder typing to a single generic type.
    • Replaced .retry(requestTimeout: ...) with .requestTimeout(...).
    • Consolidated previously separate builder types into PostgrestBuilder<T>.
    • count() is now provided by PostgrestBuilder and can be combined with result conversion.
  • Documentation

    • Updated migration guidance, query-building diagrams, and API documentation.

`PostgrestBuilder<T, S, R>` becomes `PostgrestBuilder<T>`, where `T` is what
awaiting the request resolves to. Each step that changes the result
(`select()`, `single()`, `maybeSingle()`, `csv()`, `count()`,
`withConverter()`) supplies a decoder for the response, and the decoders
compose in call order, so a converter is a terminal mapping over whatever
the chain resolved to instead of a pair of type parameters threaded through
every builder signature.

`RawPostgrestBuilder` and `ResponsePostgrestBuilder` are removed. They only
existed to give `withConverter()` two different return types, which the
composed decoders make unnecessary: `withConverter()` and `count()` live on
`PostgrestBuilder<T>` and can be called in either order.

The per-request timeout override moves from `retry(requestTimeout:)` to its
own `requestTimeout()` method on the query builder and every executable
builder. The timeout bounds a single attempt and applies with retries
disabled, so it deliberately stays out of `SupabaseRetryOptions`.

Closes #1594

PostgREST builder unification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Unified result decoder core
packages/postgrest/lib/src/postgrest_builder.dart, packages/postgrest/lib/src/raw_postgrest_builder.dart, packages/postgrest/lib/src/response_postgrest_builder.dart, packages/postgrest/test/basic_test.dart, MIGRATION.md
PostgrestBuilder<T> now composes decoders for body, count, converter, single, and nullable results. The raw and response wrapper builders were removed.
Builder API and hierarchy updates
packages/postgrest/lib/src/postgrest_query_builder.dart, packages/postgrest/lib/src/postgrest_transform_builder.dart, packages/postgrest/lib/src/postgrest_typed_builder.dart, sdk-compliance.yaml, packages/postgrest/test/order_default_test.dart
Query, transform, and typed builders use the single generic type. count() and withConverter() are exposed on the unified builder.
Per-request timeout API
packages/postgrest/lib/src/postgrest_builder.dart, packages/postgrest/lib/src/postgrest_filter_builder.dart, packages/postgrest/lib/src/postgrest_query_builder.dart, packages/postgrest/lib/src/postgrest.dart, packages/postgrest/test/retry_test.dart, MIGRATION.md
requestTimeout() replaces the timeout argument on retry(). Tests cover timeout placement before and after table operations.
Documentation and API registry alignment
AGENTS.md, MIGRATION.md, sdk-compliance.yaml, packages/postgrest/lib/src/postgrest_query_builder.dart
Documentation and SDK capability entries describe the unified builder types, decoder ordering, count behavior, and timeout method.
