Query with different types in GraphQL
0
So I have a graphQL userType and EventType and on my userType I have to make a nested query using EventType but I also need to return user information but since EventType doesn't have fields same as user info so to pass my code on testing I had to manually copy-paste UserType to EventType but I dont want this to solution. is there a way to like merge types? I'm using mongoDB as my database so when trying to do a POPULATE the user info comes back but Graphql making it hard. sorry im still new to graphql.
so this is what I did on EventType to pass the test. under fixme i copy the UserType
module.exports = {
EventType: new GraphQLObjectType({
name: 'Event',
fields: () => ({
id: {type: GraphQLID},
organizerId: {type: new GraphQLList(GraphQLID)},
title: {type: GraphQLString},
image: {type: GraphQLString},
description: {type: GraphQLString},
location: {type: GraphQLString},
items: {type: GraphQLInt},
date: {type: GraphQLString},
attendeesId: {type: new GraphQLList(GraphQLID)},
supplies: {type: new GraphQLList(GraphQLString)},
test: {type: GraphQLString},
// FIXME: USER TYPES!
firstName: {type: GraphQLString},
lastName: {type: GraphQLString},
email: {type: GraphQLString},
age: {type: GraphQLInt},
token: {type: GraphQLString},
image: {type: GraphQLString},
phone: {type: GraphQLInt},
address: {type: GraphQLString},
// ! TYPE RELATION
userRelatedToEvent: {
type: UserType,
resolve: async (parent, args) => {
const id = {
id: parent.organizerId
};
return await getCurrentUser(id);
}
}
})
})
};
this is my code on UserType that is doing a Type relation on EventType see resolve prop
module.exports = {
UserType: new GraphQLObjectType({
name: 'User',
fields: () => ({
id: {type: GraphQLID},
firstName: {type: GraphQLString},
lastName: {type: GraphQLString},
email: {type: GraphQLString},
age: {type: GraphQLInt},
token: {type: GraphQLString},
image: {type: GraphQLString},
phone: {type: GraphQLInt},
address: {type: GraphQLString},
eventsId: {type: new GraphQLList(GraphQLID)}, // <-- this will be the query for userRelatedToUser
statusCode: {type: GraphQLInt},
isSuccess: {type: GraphQLBoolean},
msg: {type: GraphQLString},
test: {type: GraphQLString}, // testing query
// errors: { type: GraphQ LString },
eventRelatedToUser: {
type: require('./eventTypeDef').EventType,
resolve: async (parent, args) => {
const event = {
event: parent.eventsId
};
const test = await getEventWithEventId(event); // <-- queries event
const id = {
id: test.attendeesId
};
const users = await getCurrentUser(id); // <-- user info
console.log(users);
return {...users, ...test};
}
}
})
})
};

Does an event itself have a first name, last name, etc., or are those fields copies of the fields on the associated user?

The ordinary GraphQL way would be to not have those fields directly; a query likesomeEvent { user { firstName } }would retrieve it.
