Hi there! Is it possible to select just the $id of the document in a query? When I tried this Query.select(['\$id']) I've got an internal server error. The index for the $id exists and works with other requests perfectly fine.

TL;DR
The user wants to select only the document IDs in a query instead of the whole document. Currently, it is not possible, but it may be available in a newer version. The user encountered an internal server error when attempting to select just the $id in a query. No solution is provided in the thread.

Can you not just use getDocument()?

No, that would only return a single document. I want a list of Document ids based on other queries

How? Can you elaborate on your use-case?

Well since relations are still in beta I am writing my own join tables etc. Therefore it would be nice to get only ids instead of the whole document. But of course it could be done in other ways

Gotcha, so you want to select the $id based on the query
