Gatsby: How to get pageQuery variable from nested context property

[Moeriki]

It looks like there is no way to access nested context property values in page query variables. Is that correct?

What I'm doing

Right now I'm duplicating the page context variable intl.language as language so I can use it as pageQuery variable.

_gatsby-node.js_

exports.onCreatePage = ({ page, actions: { createPage, deletePage } }) => {
  if (!page.context.intl || page.context.language) {
    return;
  }
  deletePage(page);
  createPage({
    ...page,
    context: {
      ...page.context,
      language: page.context.intl.language },
  });
};

_src/pages/index.jsx_

export const query = graphql`
  query MyQuery($language: String!) {
    # …
  }
`

Ideal scenario

Ideally I could access nested context variables by default.

_gatsby-node.js_

-exports.onCreatePage = ({ page, actions: { createPage, deletePage } }) => {
-  if (!page.context.intl || page.context.language) {
-    return;
-  }
-  deletePage(page);
-  createPage({
-    ...page,
-    context: {
-      ...page.context,
-      language: page.context.intl.language },
-  });
-};

_src/pages/index.jsx_

export const query = graphql`
-  query MyQuery($language: String!) {
+  query MyQuery($intl__language: String!) {
    # …
  }
`

If this is an acceptable addition I'd love to PR.

This is not a great experience. I would PR fixes and improvements if I got feedback.

But as it is now I'm not inclined to open another issue again. You're losing potential contributors this way.

Hmmm, shame this never got any attention. However, I would like to thank you for sharing your solution nevertheless! Helped me out today

Is it still the case that this isn't possible? Running into the same thing.
