Nested fields?

[maxpain]

This package supports nested fields like { 'profile.name': true }?

@Maxpain177 not at the moment, but shouldn't be too hard to implement

Hello. Thanks for creating this nice library! Any updates about this part? For example, I use pagination, and I want to create projection not for root, but for nested query fragment. My query looks like this:

query {
  total
  data { field1, field }
}

I would like to create projection only for data subquery. How is it possible?

Hey @du5rte

So I see this is an long standing issue and I was attempting to implement this feature since I would like to use it in a project I am currently working on.

I believe I have the functionality done, however I would like to add tests to make sure. While I was trying to get my tests to pass I notice that the MockDB was using the user.json file. So my projection as follows was not working.

{
   _id: true,
   'nested.level': 1,
   'nested.nested.level': 1,
   'nested.nested.otherField': 1
}

FYI I added another user and updated the resolver to include my nested fields.

Therefore I am asking if it would be alright with you if I changed the MockDB to using the MongoDB Jest setup? That way the resolver can query against mongodb directly, and the projection for the nested field will return the correct document shape.

@natac13 Yeah, go for it! MockDB is a big nasty hack, definitely needs to be replaced
