Error during query property from jsonb column with double quotation marks - sql

Question

I have the PostgreSQL table named 'orders' with the following columns:
id | params (jsonb type) | valid
1 | {"value": "120", is_active: true} | true
2 | {"value": "92", is_active: false} | true
I'm trying to perform SELECT query with filter by params.is_active = true.
Method which creates filter receives property like
filter.property = `(params ->>'is_active')::boolean`
The resulting query looks like:
select *
from "orders"
where "valid" = true
and "(params->>'is_active')::boolean" = true
limit 50
It gives me an error
ERROR: column "(params->>'is_active')::boolean" does not exist.
When I removed double quotes around jsonb column as:
select *
from "orders"
where "valid" = true
and (params->>'is_active')::boolean = true
limit 50
it worked fine.
My question: is it possible to provide another (in different format) parameter to filter method instead of
(params ->>'is_active')::boolean
to avoid such error. I think that I can remove double quotes from resulted query with regex or I can change filter method mechanism to bypass adding quotes but maybe there is an option to just provide another value.

Your jsonb seems wrong.
select '{"value": "92", is_active: false}'::jsonb;
will fail.

You can use #> and jsonb_path_exists. run following command in DBeaver should be fine. I am not sure nodejs.
WITH cte (
params
) AS (
SELECT
'{"value": 120, "is_active": true}'::jsonb
UNION ALL
SELECT
'{"value": 92, "is_active": false}'::jsonb
)
SELECT
params,
params #> '{"is_active": true}'::jsonb,
jsonb_path_exists(params, '$.is_active ? (#== true)'),
jsonb_path_exists(params, '$.value ? (# >= $min)', '{"min":120}')
FROM
cte;
