I’m trying to make a query to get an 
n
number of articles from a collection but is returning an array with 3 empty objects.

Initially I had the following query which returned an object with a property 
articles
and the array inside:

const ARTICLE_BY_COLLECTION_QUERY = groq`
  *[_type == "articleCollection" && slug.current == $collection][0]{
  "articles": articles[0...$n]->{
    ${ARTICLE_FIELDS}
  }
}
`;

However I wanted to have an array returned from the articles so I tried doing this:

const ARTICLE_BY_COLLECTION_QUERY = groq`
  *[_type == "articleCollection" && slug.current == $collection][].articles[0...$n]->{
    _id
  }
`;

the query works as expected on the sanity vision but when making the actual query on the vue client it returns an empty array.

Any ideas why?
