Query latest post from each category

I know there are quite a few questions about wp_queries but none are quite answering what I want.

I was wrecking my brain on how to query 1 most recent post from each of my blog categories but using the notation instead of an array:

function get_latest_posts($query_args, $grid_name) {
$categories = array(1593, 1594, 1595, 1596, 1597);

if ($grid_name == 'get_latest_posts') {
$query_args['posts_per_page'] = 1;
}
return $query_args;
}
add_filter('tg_wp_query_args', 'get_latest_posts', 10, 2);
// This returns one post but just one post, not one post per category


Using this style of query_args instead of a "traditional" array, would it be possible to have something like:

foreach($categories as $category) {
return $query_args;
}
// Something like this would be awesome ❥


Thank you in advance! Sorry I'm such a newbie.

Try this:

<?php
function post_from_each_category(){
$categories = array(1593, 1594, 1595, 1596, 1597);
$posts = ;
foreach($categories as $category) {
$posts = get_posts([
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'tax_query' => [
[
'taxonomy' => 'category',
'field' => 'term_id',
'terms' => [$category],
],
],
]);
}
return $posts;
}

I think it will solve your problem.
