Skip or Include DQL

Hi,

Is there anything similar to the @skip and @include directive in DQL?

Thanks,

Nope.

But you can use pagination (first/offset) coupled with ordering (orderasc/ orderdesc) to achieve skipping. Also you can use filters to filter specific things out.

Both include and skip directive has a specific behavior in the query. I don’t think that pagination or sorting fits well. In general, it is based on a bool value that comes in the GraphQL variables.

I think that in DQL would be cool to have it. As we could mix DQL vars and value variables to decide whether or not to return a block or a nested one. For example, combine the Password function with the Skip directive. It would reduce some code in the server-side or lambda side if using DQL there.

Ok, it seems like there was no request for it back then…
Amm about features requests, maybe you can open a channel for it since messages and pools are disappearing on the mainstream quickly
