Hi all, I have a question about nested objects! I'd like to have a schema like this:

{
    storeName: "Best Slice Shop"
    products: [{
       id: 123,
       name: pizza,
       ingredients: ["Tomatoes", "Garlic", ... ]
    }
]

But it looks like I can only define types on one layer deep (ref https://github.com/typesense/typesense/issues/227#issuecomment-1364072388), e.g.

{
    "enable_nested_fields": true,
    "name": "store",
    "fields": [
        {
			"name": "products",
			"type": "object[]"
		},
		{
			"name": "products.id",
			"type": "int[]"
		},
		{
			"name": "products.name",
			"type": "string[]"
		},
		{
			"name": "products.ingredients",
			"type": "string[][]" <-- doesn't work
		}
    ]
}

Is there a way to define a field to be list of strings on an list of objects field? Thank you!!

Interesting! Could you try this and see what happens:

{
  "name": "products.ingredients",
  "type": "string[]"
}

Ok it looks like it's string[]! Interesting. Thank you!

{
      "facet": false,
      "index": true,
      "infix": false,
      "locale": "",
      "name": "products.ingredients",
      "optional": true,
      "sort": false,
      "type": "string[]"
    },

[ { "id": "123", "ingredients": [ "Tomatoes", "Garlic" ], "name": "pizza" } ]

Btw, on a side note, the most generic field definition takes precedence in the collection schema. So if you have both

products

and

products.ingredients

explicitly listed, then products will take precedence and index all nested fields

Ah ok that makes sense and clarifies things, thank you!
