Question about overriding the find() controller.
If I don’t override anything, by default hitting the localhost:1337/posts url 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 a strapi.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 use strapi.query('post').find() doesn’t return the results as an array?
Great video!
