Shapes

Sometimes it's advantageous to get the shaped query results as a JSON structure instead of the native EdgeDB objects and types. Fortunately the only thing that's needed to achieve that is to cast the result of the query into json:

Input

SELECT <json>(
    SELECT User {
        name,
        email,
        follows: {
            name,
            email
        }
    } FILTER .email = 'alice@tutorial.com'
);

SELECT <json>(
    SELECT User {
        name,
        email,
        follows: {
            name,
            email
        }
    } FILTER .email = 'alice@tutorial.com'
);
