Limit nesting on nested docs plugin

[jsc604]

Hi, is there a way to limit the nested docs plugin to x nested docs? A field for this would help prevent deep nesting.

For example, max /slug-1/slug-2/slug-3
anything after would throw an error

I've been looking for a way to achive this as well.

I was hoping I could do it with filterOptions and check the breadcrumbs length, but I have not found a way to do it in a Where query.

Best I could do is this thing:

    createParentField('categories', {
      name: 'parentCategory',
      filterOptions: (args) => {
        const noLoopsWhere: Where = {
          id: { not_equals: args.id },
          'breadcrumbs.doc': { not_in: [args.id] },
        }

        const depthQueryKey = (new Array(MAX_CATEGORY_DEPTH - 1)).fill('parentCategory').join('.')
        const where: Where = {
          ...noLoopsWhere,
          [depthQueryKey]: { exists: false }
        }

        return where
      },

    }),

Which works, but is nowhere near as readable than e.g. made up syntax 'breadcrumbs[length]': { less_than: MAX_CATEGORY_DEPTH }.

It can become quite the expenseive query depending on how deep you wanna go, so I think I'll maintain my own depth field and update it with a hook whenever the parent changes.
