How to get Readme.MD from Github Graphql API?

Question

The v3 has a specific API for retrieving the readme.md file. But in the new V4 GraphQL, there is no such field in the Repository Object.

Does anyone know how to retrieve the readme file?

Thanks!

There is not yet a specific entity to get the README.md file, but you can retrieve it as you would normally retrieve any other file:

{
  repository(owner: "gitpoint", name: "git-point") {
    object(expression: "master:README.md") {
      ... on Blob {
        text
      }
    }
  }
}
