Using Object Scan to Find Grandparent Value

4 replies

Last updated: Jan 19, 2023

Hey again, I would like a conditional field based on a "grandparent" value. I've read that conditional fields wont accept promises though (so no groq commands i think). Is there a way to use the

{ parent, document, currentUser, value}

properties to find the grandparent value?

I guess I'll need another package for scanning the document object? Any recommendations?

You’d have to set something up to recursively check each field in the document for the parent in this case. We unfortunately don’t have any built in tooling for this 😞

Thanks

, I managed to use the package

object-scan

to filter out the object keys and return the 'great grandparent' that I needed!

{
  name: "image",
  type: "image",
  title: "Image",

  hidden: ({document, parent}) =&gt; {
    const parents = objectScan(['++._key'], {
      joined: true,
      filterFn: ({ value }) =&gt; value === parent._key,
      rtn: 'parents'
    })(document)[0];
    return !parents[2]?.useImages;
  }
},

So good!
