To filter and limit nested arrays of objects in GraphQL, you can use arguments in your resolver to pass filters and limits to your database query.

  1. Define arguments in your GraphQL schema:
1
2
3
type Query {
  getObjects(filter: String, limit: Int): [Object]
}


  1. Use arguments in your resolver to filter and limit the nested arrays of objects:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
Query: {
  getObjects: (_, { filter, limit }, { dataSources }) => {
    let objects = dataSources.ObjectAPI.getObjects();

    // Filter objects based on the filter argument
    if (filter) {
      objects = objects.filter(obj => obj.property === filter);
    }

    // Limit the number of objects returned based on the limit argument
    if (limit) {
      objects = objects.slice(0, limit);
    }

    return objects;
  }
}


  1. Use the query in your GraphQL client with the desired filter and limit arguments:
1
2
3
4
5
query {
  getObjects(filter: "value", limit: 5) {
    // Query fields
  }
}


By using arguments in your resolver function, you can dynamically filter and limit the nested arrays of objects in your GraphQL query.
