How to use aliases?

[ghost]

I want to retrieve the meta_description field as description. According to directus docs it should work somehow like this:

const { data, error } = await useAsyncData('about', () => getSingletonItem({
    collection: 'about',
    params: {
        fields: ['*', 'meta_description'],
        alias: '[description]=meta_description'
    }
}))

… but it doesn’t work …

Close! The way to translate query params to JS params object is slightly different:

const { data, error } = await useAsyncData('about', () => getSingletonItem({
    collection: 'about',
    params: {
        'alias[description]': 'meta_description'
    }
}))

(you can omit fields here, as it defaults to *, and * already includes meta_description as well)

@rijkvanzanten Nice, the one variation I did not try ;)

Thanks!
