Postgrest function errors

I'm having some issues constructing some functions using postgrest for my senior capstone.

to my understanding the following should work to delete a category connected to a supabase database. (In this context a category is an object with a name and an arraylist of items. items in turn are objects with an ID number, name, price, categoryId and organizationID)

override suspend fun deleteCategory(id: Int) {
withContext(Dispatchers.IO)
    {
     postgrest["category"]
        .delete
            {
             eq("id", id)
        }
        .execute()

    }

}

however execute is being thrown as a unresolved reference

as well for the update of a category name to my understanding this should work

override suspend fun updateCategory(name: String) {
        withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
            postgrest["category"]
                    .update()
                    .set("name", name)
                    .execute()
        }
    }

But set is being thrown as an unresolved reference as well.

Any help in resolving this would be appreciated.

Also if this is not a good way to achieve what i'm trying to do, please let me know. Always eager to learn how to do these better and easier.

If you look at the documentation, you will notice that there is no .execute() call on the Kotlin library for Supabase.

https://supabase.com/docs/reference/kotlin/delete

You should be able to delete your data with code something like this:

supabase.from("category").delete {
    filter {
        eq("id", id)
    }
}
