### Examples

### Query sections
Query sections that contain a specific item

```javascript
import { sections } from "@wix/restaurants";

async function querySections() {
  const response = await sections.querySections()
    .hasSome("itemIds", ["b3dfd67a-7c77-43e8-a707-38eb53850d4a"])
    .find();
}

/* Promise resolves to:
 * {
 *   "items": [
 *     {
 *       "_id": "89732458-4d43-4f2e-90ba-59007a9287b4",
 *       "revision": "1",
 *       "name": "Mains",
 *       "description": "A diverse range of flavorful dishes which are all sourced daily and locally",
 *       "visible": true,
 *       "itemIds": [
 *         "b3dfd67a-7c77-43e8-a707-38eb53850d4a",
 *         "b8e179cc-f339-4ccb-afa9-d9e04d56c461"
 *       ]
 *     }
 *   ],
 *   "pagingMetadata": {
 *     "count": 1,
 *     "hasNext": false
 *   }
 * }
 */

```

### querySections (self-hosted)
Self-hosted SDK calls require you to [create a client](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/articles/work-with-the-sdk/about-the-wix-client.md).

```javascript
import { createClient } from '@wix/sdk';
import { sections } from '@wix/restaurants';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { sections },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function querySections(query) {
  const response = await myWixClient.sections.querySections(query);
};
```
