As Prisma is made using Rust, it doesn’t use FB’s dataloader but it’s own implementation.

11/05/2021, 1:30 PMHi, so I'm kind of in a bind because I need to do a .unique().myChildren() and then I need a count of the children. But both unique an myChildren have where clauses. So I have to try and combine the queries, reversing the first one and do the count on the myChidren object directly.

11/05/2021, 1:31 PMThis is not working because sometimes the query is an and for the root and an or for the children and I can't combine the And and the Or in one query it seem

dataloaderr

11/05/2021, 2:45 PM@Ryan so your suggesting do my queries directly on the target object ( rather than the parent ) foregoing the prisma dataloader, but make up for it by using facebooks dataloader?

11/05/2021, 2:46 PMI was looking at that. fb dataloader, like so many of their libraries is kind of a half measure. good enough but not really user friendly. but I'll figure it out.
