I recently started working with strapi and have been figuring out how to go about content relations and so on… Now I have reached a point when I have multiple content relations dependent on each other.

This is my strucute:

Collection Types:

  1. Categories
  2. Articles
  • with content relation: Article has one category

Single Types:

  1. Homepage
  • with content relation: Homepage has many articles

Now what I want to do is to to get all nested properties of a category for articles that are assigned to homepage just by simply making a GET request from /homepage

What I currently get is a json structure like this:

{
   "id": 1,
   "hero": {
   ....
   },
   "featuredArticles": {
   ....
   },
   "displayedArticles": [
  {
     "id": 2,
     "category": 5,
  }
   ]
}

Expected output:

{
   "id": 1,
   "hero": {
   ....
   },
   "featuredArticles": {
   ....
   },
   "displayedArticles": [
  {
     "id": 2,
     "category": [
        {
          "id": 5,
          "title": "Foundation"
        }
     ],
  }
   ]
}

My suspicion is that the properties of categories is basically too nested when trying to fetching from /homepage rather than /articles directly.

I found out that handling this could work with modifying the controllers right in the strapi directory but I haven’t figured it out quite.

Anyone willing to help please :frowning: ?
