Always limit the number of items which can be returned from a list field. For example, use a limit: argument and make sure it’s not too big. The prepare: function provides a convenient place to cap the number of items:
field :items, [Types::ItemType] do
# Cap the number of items at 30
argument :limit, Integer, default_value: 20, prepare: ->(limit, ctx) {[limit, 30].min}
end
def items(limit:)
object.items.limit(limit)
end
This way, you won’t hit your database for 1000 items!
Connections accept a max_page_size option which limits the number of nodes.
