To filter nested arrays of objects in GraphQL, you can use arguments on the fields of your queries to specify the criteria for filtering. Here's an example of how you can filter nested arrays of objects in GraphQL:

  1. Define your GraphQL schema with the nested arrays of objects:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
type Author {
  id: ID!
  name: String!
  books: [Book!]!
}

type Book {
  id: ID!
  title: String!
  genre: String!
}


  1. Write a query to fetch authors with their books:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
query {
  authors {
    id
    name
    books {
      id
      title
      genre
    }
  }
}


  1. Use arguments on the fields to filter the results:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
query {
  authors {
    id
    name
    books(genre: "Mystery") {
      id
      title
      genre
    }
  }
}


In this example, we are filtering the books field of each author to only include books with the genre "Mystery". You can use any criteria you want to filter the nested arrays of objects in GraphQL by using arguments on the fields in your queries.
