Using conditional statements in Groq queries to add fields with null values

4 replies
Last updated: May 30, 2023
Hi, how can I use something similar to a ternary operator in a groq query?
Basically I want to add two fields together but if one of the fields is null I don't want to add them together

You can use `select()`:
"foo": select(x != null && y != null => x + y, null)

At the object level, conditionals allow the same thing instead of a key expression:
* {
  _id,
  _type,
  (x != null && y != null) => {
    "foo": x + y
  }
}
