*[_type == "category"]{
    _id,
    title,
    "post": *[_type == "post" && category._id == ^.categories._ref]
  }
I am trying to get all post that are in a category. The code above is retrieving all categories as expected. and from the post key I am getting date. The problem is that the post key is showing all post regardless if they are in the category. I only want it to show the post in that category. Is there a way to do this. I am using the default blog schema

Maybe you can try using 
references()
:
"post": *[_type == "post" && references(^._id))
You can find an example
here .

That worked great. I feel I have a lot to learn. Is there a query generator

Glad that the solution worked for you :) I am not aware of any query generators unfortunately.For learning purposes, you can also take a look at the
GROQ arcade in addition to the Vision plugin and GROQ in 45 min .
