Retrieves only one row from the result. Result must be one row (e.g. using
`limit`), otherwise this will result in an error.

```js
const { data, error } = await supabase
  .from('cities')
  .select('name, country_id')
  .limit(1)
  .single()
```

## Examples

### With `select()`

```js
const { data, error } = await supabase
  .from('cities')
  .select('name, country_id')
  .limit(1)
  .single()
```
