hey guys, I know query doesn't support relational field yet, so my idea was to try graphQL to get exact data I need from inside that relationship field but couldn't get anywhere. I tried something like graphql.query({ query: ` query { databasesListDocuments( databaseId: "[id]", collectionId: "[colId]" ) { total documents { _id, data { attachmentType, attachmentURL, body, user_id { _id avatar firstname lastname username } } } } } but that didn't work.. I really don't want to return the whole obj as it will have so many unnecessary data but not sure how, is there anyway around that? I'm building react Native app btw

TL;DR
The user is asking about support for relationships and querying for specific data within those relationships. They mention that there is limited support with GraphQL but the data is returned as a string, not an object. The user tried using a GraphQL query but it didn't work. They don't want to return the whole object as it would have unnecessary data. They are building a React Native app. Solution: Currently, relationships are not supported. The user can either wait for queries to be supported or manually fetch the related data. There is no solution provided for the GraphQL query not working or only returning the necessary data.

There's also limited support with graphql and selecting the data. If you notice, the data is returned as a string, not an object so you can't select different attributes.

For the moment, you'll have to wait for queries to be supported. Or, you can stop using relationships and manually fetch related data

Is there a rough ETA on when relationships are supported? c:
