Announcing time helper queries: Cleaner, more expressive time-based queries

A new set of database queries, time helper queries, is now live.

Filtering by time is one of the most common patterns in real-world apps. Until now, this often meant adding extra conditions that made your queries longer and harder to read.

With time helper queries, you can now handle time-based filtering in a simple and expressive way. You’ll find four new options:

• createdBefore: Find rows created before a given date
• createdAfter: Find rows created after a given date
• updatedBefore: Find rows updated before a given date
• updatedAfter: Find rows updated after a given date

That means you can:

• Reduce boilerplate in your code
• Write cleaner, more readable queries
• Make time-based filtering faster and easier to manage
