Is it Possible to Exclude Data from a GROQ Query / Request?

Is it possible to exlude data in the groq request? Right now I’m doing the following to remove data, but i guess it just gets overwritten and still queries the data in the first place? I need everything except all data from `cmsvisual`:

Not at the moment. We’ve been thinking about ways to implement it, but for now you’ll have to explicitly name everything you want

its a bit unhandy, as by naming everything i need, if a new object is added to a schema, i need to update all groq request among the whole frontend. So +1 for this feature 🙂

You can, however, use

null

instead of

""

. In JavaScript,

null

and

undefined

both work as an absent value, so

project.cmsvisual

will evaluate to one of those regardless of whether it’s in the object or not.

Thanks! Just out of curiosity, it will still get queried on the api side, which would add time to query duration, right?

Yes, in the sense that the entire document is always fetched from the underlying document storage, then pruned during query execution.
