I'm using Astro DB and have a config.ts and seed.ts file working fine. However I need to create a View (which my production DB has) for when I'm testing locally. How and where can I define that?

Hi @placid shoal. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
I apologize, but I don't have enough information in the provided knowledge sources to answer your specific question about creating Views for local testing with Astro DB. The documentation I have access to doesn't mention Views or how to define them for local development.
Astro DB does provide ways to seed development data (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/astro-db/#seed-your-database-for-development) and query your database (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/astro-db/#query-your-database), but there's no explicit information about creating Views for local testing.
If you need to work with Views that exist in your production database while testing locally, you might want to consider:
- Connecting to your remote database (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/astro-db/#connecting-to-remote-databases) during development.
- Exploring if there's a way to define Views in your
config.tsfile, though this isn't mentioned in the current documentation.
