Overview

This module contains some types and fields that could support Relay conventions in GraphQL.

You can use these classes out of the box if you want, but if you want to use your own GraphQL extensions along with the features in this code, you could also open up the source files and copy the relevant methods and configuration into your own classes.

For example, the provided object types extend Types::Relay::BaseObject, but you might want to:

  1. Migrate the extensions from Types::Relay::BaseObject into your app’s base object
  2. Copy BaseConnection, BaseEdge, etc into your app, and change them to extend your base object.

Similarly, BaseField’s extensions could be migrated to your app and Node could be implemented to mix in your base interface module.

NodeField =

This can be used for implementing Query.node(id: ...), or use it for inspiration for your own field definition.

Examples:

Adding this field directly

add_field(GraphQL::Types::Relay::NodeField)

Implementing a similar field in your own Query root


field :node, GraphQL::Types::Relay::Node, null: true,
  description: "Fetches an object given its ID" do
    argument :id, ID, required: true
  end

def node(id:)
  context.schema.object_from_id(id, context)
end
GraphQL::Schema::Field.new(**HasNodeField.field_options, &HasNodeField.field_block)
NodesField =

This can be used for implementing Query.nodes(ids: ...), or use it for inspiration for your own field definition.

Examples:

Adding this field directly

add_field(GraphQL::Types::Relay::NodesField)

Implementing a similar field in your own Query root


field :nodes, [GraphQL::Types::Relay::Node, null: true], null: false,
  description: Fetches a list of objects given a list of IDs." do
    argument :ids, [ID], required: true
  end

def nodes(ids:)
  ids.map do |id|
    context.schema.object_from_id(context, id)
  end
