[bug]: User type has a different datatype than API.DocumentResponseCollection

[Steven24K]

Bug Description

I was trying to fetch all users from the Strapi CMS using the StrapiClient. The user collection type is allready in the CMS when you create a fresh install. I needed to show a list of users of a specific role on the frontend of my website. The return type of the find() method is of type DocumentResponseCollection or DocumentResponse if I'm trying to fetch a single type.

Steps to Reproduce

1. When you have a blanco Strapi project.
2. And try to fetch all the users with the following code:

let client = strapi({
            baseURL: process.env.STRAPI_URL + '/api',
            auth: process.env.STRAPI_TOKEN,
        });
const response = await this.client.collection('users').find()

3. When I try to access properties on response.data, I got an exception that data is not defined. For instance when trying to get the username.

When I log the users to the console I can see that the JSON data is as follows:

Expected Behavior

For now fixed the error by casting the type to any, I would expect that the users collection type has a separate data container. A possible way to fix this would to create a sepperate method on the Strapi Client that is only responsible for fetching the users. The main thing that I noticed is that the users are directly on the response as an array and not wrapped in an object under the data property.

I am having the same issue. The client.collection("users").find() produces the following output object shape:

const response: Document[];

But all other collection("...").find() calls produce the following output shape:

const response: {
data: Document[];
meta: ResponseMeta;
}
