Question about overriding the
find()controller.If I don’t override anything, by default hitting the
localhost:1337/postsurl returns an array of all the posts.If I add an
aync find()function into the controller (I’m adding url query param to also filter posts by specific user), and even just do astrapi.query('post').find(), the result is now an object with keys rather than an array?Does it not use
strapi.query('post').find()by default, and if it does, how come manually telling it to usestrapi.query('post').find()doesn’t return the results as an array?Great video!
