Class: GraphQL::Types::Relay::BaseConnection

Inherits:
BaseObject show all
Extended by:
Forwardable
Defined in:
lib/graphql/types/relay/base_connection.rb

Overview

Use this to implement Relay connections, or take it as inspiration for Relay classes in your own app.

You may wish to copy this code into your own base class, so you can extend your own BaseObject instead of GraphQL::Schema::Object.

Examples:

Implementation a connection and edge

# Given some object in your app ...
class Types::Post < BaseObject
end

# Make a couple of base classes:
class Types::BaseEdge < GraphQL::Types::Relay::BaseEdge; end
class Types::BaseConnection < GraphQL::Types::Relay::BaseConnection; end

# Then extend them for the object in your app
class Types::PostEdge < Types::BaseEdge
  node_type(Types::Post)
end
class Types::PostConnection < Types::BaseConnection
  edge_type(Types::PostEdge)
end

end

.edge_type(edge_type_class, edge_class: GraphQL::Relay::Edge, node_type: edge_type_class.node_type, nodes_field: true) ⇒ Object

Configure this connection to return edges and nodes based on edge_type_class.

This method will use the inputs to create: - edges field - nodes field - description

It’s called when you subclass this base connection, trying to use the class name to set defaults. You can call it again in the class definition to override the default (or provide a value, if the default lookup failed).

#nodes ⇒ Object

By default this calls through to the ConnectionWrapper’s edge nodes method, but sometimes you need to override it to support the nodes field
