Hello, Im trying to do a condition inside my groq-query. Anyone that knows how I can check if the array is empty and add other types of data?
Example:

"users" : *[_type=="user" && references(^._id)]  { 
    initial data goes here...
},
users.length === 0 => {
   new data goes here if we could not get any users 
}

count(users) > 0

Thanks, but I still cannot get it work for some reason. Can it be some issues with the time it takes to actually fetch the data inside users? Pasting the “full” query here if that can clarify

`*[_type=="docs" && uuid == $uuid][0] {
  _id,
  "users" : *[_type=="user" && references(^._id)] {
    initial data... 
   },
 count(users) > 0 => { ...more data }
}

Solved. Issues with ApiVersion… 🤦
