Filtering the Response

A lot of the times you only need a property from the response object, this is usually data. You'll see/write stuff like this:

const { data } = axios.get('https://dummyjson.com/products/1')

With this package you can do that by adding [data] to the end of the URL.

<div x-data="{ productData: {} }">
  <!-- Single -->
  <button
    @click="productData = await $get('https://dummyjson.com/products/1[data]')"
  >
    Get
  </button>

  <!-- Multiple -->
  <!-- Comma separation is optional -->
  <button
    @click="productData = await $get('https://dummyjson.com/products/1[data, status]')"
  >
    Get
  </button>

  <pre x-text="JSON.stringify(productData, null, 2)"></pre>
</div>

This works for all the requests and isn't limited to the data property. Anything that is part of the response object can be used to filter the response. For example, [status].

Heads up! Syntax is important, the filter property key must be place in square brackets [x].

Nested Filters

Sometimes you don't want the whole object back, in this example data returns a lot of information but we only want title and price back. Here's how you can do that.

  <button
    @click="productData = await $get('https://dummyjson.com/products/1[data.title, data.price]')"
  >
    Get
  </button>

  <pre x-text="JSON.stringify(productData, null, 2)"></pre>
</div>

This will return with the first key, in this case data omitted.

{
  "title": "iPhone 9",
  "price": 549
}

Note! You can still pass other filters in when using nested filters, something like [data.title, status] will work fine!
