Bug: problems in v1.0.0-beta.5 with select, delete and update functions when providing ID and inconsistency when returning JSON results from select and create functions. about surrealdb.js HOT 2 CLOSED

Hey @dodanex! I haven't had the time just yet to update the docs unfortunately, but the way Record IDs and some other native types are represented is changing in surrealdb.js v1.0.0. Due to the newly introduced CBOR protocol, we now have an understanding of values native to SurrealQL, but not JSON, like Record IDs.

This means that you would now use the new RecordId class to select, create or alter specific records, like so:

await db.select(new RecordId("table", "id"));

As some people mentioned they had some usecases where they need to be able to work with string representations of Record IDs, I did the work in #256 to make this possible again, like

const res = await db.select(new StringRecordId("table:id"));
res.id.toString();

Lastly, selecting, creating or altering a specific Record ID instead of a table in general will now return just the object representing that record, instead of an array of objects.

This will be pushed in the next beta, I hope this helps!
