How to generate views result programmatically in drupal 8?

Question

I'm trying to update the entire result set of a view using hook_views_post_execute. I've wiped out the $view->result array and have an array of nids I'm getting from a custom function. I would like to generate the ResultRow object from this nid array

Answer 1

Seems hook_views_post_execute is not the right choice for this use case. I ended up using hook_views_query_alter by adding the nid array in its addWhere clause.
