Overview

A Connection wraps a list of items and provides cursor-based pagination over it.

Connections were introduced by Facebook’s Relay front-end framework, but proved to be generally useful for GraphQL APIs. When in doubt, use connections to serve lists (like Arrays, ActiveRecord::Relations) via GraphQL.

Unlike the previous connection implementation, these default to bidirectional pagination.

Pagination arguments and context may be provided at initialization or assigned later (see Schema::Field::ConnectionExtension).

Constructor Details

#initialize(items, parent: nil, context: nil, first: nil, after: nil, max_page_size: :not_given, last: nil, before: nil, edge_class: nil) ⇒ Connection

Returns a new instance of Connection.

Parameters:

  • items (Object) —

    some unpaginated collection item, like an Array or ActiveRecord::Relation

  • context (Query::Context) (defaults to: nil)
  • parent (Object) (defaults to: nil) —

    The object this collection belongs to

  • first (Integer, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    The limit parameter from the client, if it provided one

  • after (String, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    A cursor for pagination, if the client provided one

  • last (Integer, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    Limit parameter from the client, if provided

  • before (String, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    A cursor for pagination, if the client provided one.

  • max_page_size (Integer, nil) (defaults to: :not_given) —

    A configured value to cap the result size. Applied as first if neither first or last are given.
