How to get ancestors of an entry by slug in graphQL?

[ctigelaar]

I'm using a structure with nesting several levels deep. For the breadcrumbs I want to get a path (array of ancestors) to the current entry, based on the "slug". In Twig there seems a way with getAncestors (https://docs.craftcms.com/api/v3/craft-base-elementinterface.html#method-getancestors), but in GraphQL I couldn't find a way to get this done. Is it possible in 1 query? The ancestorsOf doesn't take a slug, and at that point I don't have the id of the requested entry. Would be nice to just read them from an ancestors property in the entry. But maybe I'm missing something and it's already possible?

{
  entry(section: "foobar", slug: "my-random-slug") {
    id
    title
  }
  parents: entries(section: "foobar", ancestorOf: 2800) { // id is not available at this moment?
    id
    title
  }
}

PS. I found some proposed solutions with compose or something, but I'm trying to keep as close as possible to standard behaviour here.

We’ve actually just added the ability to fetch entries’ ancestors for Craft 3.7.

To get on the 3.7 branch, change your craftcms/cms requirement in composer.json to "3.7.x-dev as 3.7.0-alpha" and run composer update.

Perfect, just in time for me then! Thanks a lot for the effort put into improving Craft, much appreciated.
