Need ability to query z.array() fields (e.g. tags) in the latest nuxt-content module (v3.alpha.8)

In the previous version of nuxt-content (v2) I would simply query tags like so:

  .where({ tags: { $contains: tagSlug } })

However there is no contains in v3, and the logic for IN seems to require the reverse operation. I've tried LIKE and that doesn't work either.

Definitely need to know the best way to find values in z.array() field types.

As it stands, I'm forced to retrieve all, then run JS .filter() on the results. Quite inefficient.

Could you provide a simple reproduction?
The proper way to do this in sqlite is using json_each operator, which is not yet supported in Content query builder.
However, I believe we can achieve your goal with simpler solution with LIKE. If you provide a simple reproduction we can sort it out.

 .where('tags', 'LIKE', `%${route.params.tag}%`)
