Expand model fields only without sensitive data

[wpplumber]

Welcome, I was able to get the Vendor (Customer) using expand from the previous discussion closed.

Now I want to select only 1 or 2 fields i.e first_name and name.

Is that possible by using expand: ["vendor.first_name"]?

....
const product = await swell.get(`/products/${id}`, {
      id,
      expand: ["vendor"]
...

@wpplumber good question. Did you try it? Can't remember if that works but it is similar to semantics for nested links

If not, you can use an include statement, for example:

const product = await swell.get(`/products/${id}`, {
  id,
  include: {
    vendor: {
      url: '/products/{id}/vendor', // note: this would be more efficient if you use the absolute vendor endpoint here instead of the nested path starting with /products/{id}
      data: {
        fields: 'first_name'
      }
    }
  }
})

I does't work but your suggestion works fine.

url: '/products/{id}/vendor', // note: this would be more efficient if you use the absolute vendor endpoint here instead of the nested path starting with /products/{id}

Is this something mentioned on the doc or a tip?

Just a tip. Each nested link in a URL causes an additional DB request, thus it's more efficient to go directly to the target record when possible.
