Defined in:
lib/graphql/execution/lookahead.rb

Overview

Lookahead creates a uniform interface to inspect the forthcoming selections.

It assumes that the AST it’s working with is valid. (So, it’s safe to use during execution, but if you’re using it directly, be sure to validate first.)

A field may get access to its lookahead by adding extras: [:lookahead] to its configuration.

Examples:

looking ahead in a field

field :articles, [Types::Article], null: false,
  extras: [:lookahead]

# For example, imagine a faster database call
# may be issued when only some fields are requested.
#
# Imagine that _full_ fetch must be made to satisfy `fullContent`,
# we can look ahead to see if we need that field. If we do,
# we make the expensive database call instead of the cheap one.
def articles(lookahead:)
  if lookahead.selects?(:full_content)
    fetch_full_articles(object)
  else
    fetch_preview_articles(object)
  end
end

end

#name ⇒ Symbol

The method name of the field. It returns the method_sym of the Lookahead’s field.

Examples:

getting the name of a selection

def articles(lookahead:)
  article.selection(:full_content).name # => :full_content
  # ...
end

Returns:

  • (Symbol)

end

#selected? ⇒ Boolean

Returns True if this lookahead represents a field that was requested.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    True if this lookahead represents a field that was requested

#selection(field_name, selected_type: @selected_type, arguments: nil) ⇒ GraphQL::Execution::Lookahead

Like #selects?, but can be used for chaining. It returns a null object (check with #selected?)

#selections(arguments: nil) ⇒ Array<GraphQL::Execution::Lookahead>

Like #selection, but for all nodes. It returns a list of Lookaheads for all Selections

If arguments: is provided, each provided key/value will be matched against the arguments in each selection. This method will filter the selections if any of the given arguments: do not match the given selection.

Examples:

getting the name of a selection

def articles(lookahead:)
  next_lookaheads = lookahead.selections # => [#<GraphQL::Execution::Lookahead ...>, ...]
  next_lookaheads.map(&:name) #=> [:full_content, :title]
end

Parameters:

  • arguments (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

    Arguments which must match in the selection

Returns:

  subselections_by_type.each do |type, ast_nodes_by_response_key|
    ast_nodes_by_response_key.each do |response_key, ast_nodes|

      subselections.push(lookahead)
    end
  end

  subselections
end

#selects?(field_name, arguments: nil) ⇒ Boolean

True if this node has a selection on field_name. If field_name is a String, it is treated as a GraphQL-style (camelized) field name and used verbatim. If field_name is a Symbol, it is treated as a Ruby-style (underscored) name and camelized before comparing.

If arguments: is provided, each provided key/value will be matched against the arguments in the next selection. This method will return false if any of the given arguments: are not present and matching in the next selection. (But, the next selection may contain more than the given arguments.)

Parameters:

  • field_name (String, Symbol)
  • arguments (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

    Arguments which must match in the selection

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
