I don’t think you’re understanding what make is doing. And you’re just trying to work around a problem that doesn’t actually exist.
Make calls APIs with the apps and returns data ready for you use. A collection is simply an object with multiple keys and values. The values can be strings numbers booleans or arrays. They are data structures. These can be used in mapping or manipulated before used in other scenarios. Knowing how to do this is the key knowledge to using make.
