Queries using repositories

[luka-init]

Looking into this find-users.query-handler.ts query handler i noticed you were using the user repository for fetching the users.
Since on the read side we're not looking into enforcing any business rules, like we are on the command/write side with Aggregates, is there a reason for using repositories?

For example if we were to have a Post aggregate and Comment entities within that aggregate there'd be no point in building out eachPost and fetching all of its Comment relations when fetching something like a list of all posts.

I couldn't find much on this online but i found this blog post which might explain this better than i can.

Btw, great work on the repo <3

Yes, for queries you can skip a repository and database -> entity -> dto mapping and just do a database -> dto mapping right away, skipping the entire domain/repository part (if you don't need to execute any methods from an entity, like calculating something).
Since any repository must have a method like findMany, In find-users.query-handler.ts I was just re-utilizing it since I already had it there. But I prefer the approach you described, I will add a clarification to README and refactor this query handler as an example. Thanks

Update: I refactored a query handler in this commit 92515cf
