Hello everyone (who's still awake!) -- are there ways to "flatten" an array returned from a GraphQL query, if the number of items returned from that array is only 1, or every forcing only the first item of the array using

first: 1

and so reading it in javascript without using

item[0]

?

@picosam could you change your query to use

Type

instead of

allTypes

?

Hmm... so let's say I have the following query:

allUsers { photos (first: 1) { url } }

so do you know that

photos

of this user only contains one element?

Of course in this case, there's always going to be only

photos[0]

in that array... so my question is, can there be anyway to return this instead as, for example,

user.photoUrl

I've seen the pattern for the Relay API to flatten the

edge->node

structure using lodash

Let me google that... maybe apollo would have something similar

With apollo, you should be able to return photos[0] in a resolverMap, that will give you a single item in the result instead of an array

Thank you; I'll google that now, since googling flattening an array using apollo didn't turn anything out 🙂
