How do I get posts that have a certain category set to it?

[ahmetskilinc]

Currently I'm using QueryString like so:

const stringifiedQuery = qs.stringify(
  {
    where: {
      category: {
        name: {
          equals: req.query.name,
        },
      },
    },
  },
  { addQueryPrefix: true }
);

But I am still getting back all posts instead of the ones with a certain category.

Post: {
  /*...*/
  title,
  category: Category,
  /*...*/
}

Category: {
  id,
  name,
}

How would I write my QueryString so I only get back the posts with a certain category?

Hey @ahmetskilinc — here's how you'd do that:

const stringifiedQuery = qs.stringify(
  {
    where: {
      'category.name': {
        equals: req.query.name,
      },
    },
  },
  { addQueryPrefix: true }
);

You have to use dot notation to query on nested relationship fields, but this should be golden!

Thank you!

Hey @jmikrut how about with an array of tags?

Post: {
  /*...*/
  title,
  tags: Tag[],
  /*...*/
}

Tag: {
  id,
  name,
}
