04/13/2017, 2:35 PMHi! I have a tags: [String!]! field in my model. However, there's nothing (such as "tags_contains" or even plain "tags") generated in the filter for this fields (all other fields work)

04/13/2017, 2:36 PM@mikko hey, we don't feature filters for scalar lists as in your case yet. A possible workaround is promoting the string field to a model that contains a string field

04/13/2017, 2:38 PMThanks for the response. Do you have an example somewhere of how to achieve the promoting to the model?
mikko
04/13/2017, 2:38 PMAlso, do you have an estimate when lists will possibly be supported in filters?

04/13/2017, 2:46 PMCan you tell me more about the model and the tags field?

04/13/2017, 2:46 PMWe're aware of this feature request: https://github.com/graphcool/feature-requests/issues/60 I cannot comment on any ETA though, sorry! 🙂

04/13/2017, 3:10 PMA very typical model of a Post that has Tags associated with it, like in a blog
mikko
04/13/2017, 3:11 PMThen I'd like to filter all Posts that have for example Tag "food" present in it's Tag [String] field

04/13/2017, 3:12 PMI see! In this case you can instead create a new model
Tagkey: Stringnilan
04/13/2017, 3:12 PMthen you have a many-to-many relation between

04/13/2017, 3:12 PM Copy code
query {
allPosts(filter: {
tags_some: {
key: "TRAVEL"
}
}) {
id
}
}nilan
04/13/2017, 3:13 PMthis would be a query for all travel posts 🙂

04/13/2017, 3:53 PMThat works, thanks! Any thoughts on best practices when creating a new post with multiple tags: should I check for existing tags and create new ones for ones that don't yet exist or try to create them all and see which ones bounce since the key field is Unique?
