using postgres functions from knex

so I’m using timestamptz with specificType I need to be able to use postgres’s native date-time functions to set a default.

I tried

table.specificType('currentTime', 'timestamptz').defaultTo('now()'); 

but that ends up setting the default value to the most current time stamp as a static value. How do i pass along postgresql functions.

basically I want to do this, But in knex.

ALTER TABLE "public"."users" ADD COLUMN "currentTime" TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT now();

Btw, for anyone having this same issue, the fix (workaround?) is to wrap that value in a knex.raw, so:

knex(tableName).insert({
  id: 1,
  name: 'Test',
  geom: knex.raw('ST_Multi(ST_GeomFromGeoJSON(\'..\'))')
}).then(...);
