readField functions first argument

[BayCo]

My cached object has data({"path":"$.caption.text"}) key with text value in it.
I can't access it using readField('data({"path":"$.caption.text"})', item)
The other fields like id or created_at are accessible.

@BayCo I realize this API is under-documented (cc @StephenBarlow and @hwillson), but I have good news: the readField helper can also take ReadFieldOptions, like so:

readField({
  fieldName: "data"
  args: { path: "$.caption.text" },
  from: item,
})

Doing it this way will automatically reuse the same logic that originally serialized the arguments, so you don't have to worry about doing any serialization or string manipulation yourself.

This ReadFieldOptions API was first implemented in #6306, and released in @apollo/[email protected], so it's safe to use with any version of AC3.

@benjamn it works, thank you for your explanation :-)
