FieldBuilder

field(options)

• options: FieldOptions

FieldOptions

type FieldOptions = {
  type: ReturnType;
  args?: Args;
  nullable?: boolean;
  description?: string;
  deprecationReason?: string;
  resolve: (parent, args, context, info): ResolveValue;
};

• type: Type Parameter

• args: a map of arg name to arg values. Arg values can be created using an InputFieldBuilder

  (fieldBuilder.arg) or using schemaBuilder.args

• nullable: boolean, defaults to false, unless overwritten in SchemaBuilder see Changing Default Nullability.

• description: string

• deprecationReason: string

• resolve: Resolver

Type Parameter

A Type Parameter for a Field can be any TypeRef returned by one of the SchemaBuilder methods for defining a type, a class used to create an object or interface type, a ts enum used to define a graphql enum type, or a string that corresponds to one of they keys of the Objects, Interfaces, or Scalars objects defined in SchemaTypes.

For List fields, the Type Parameter should be one of the above wrapped in an array eg ['User'].

Resolver

A function to resolve the value of this field.

Return type

Field resolvers should return a value (or promise) that matches the expected type for this field. For Scalars, Objects, and Interfaces this type is the corresponding type defined SchemaTypes. For Unions, the type may be any of the corresponding shapes of members of the union. For Enums, the value is dependent on the implementation of the enum. See Enum guide for more details.

Args

• parent: Parent will be a value of the backing model for the current type specified in

  SchemaTypes.

• args: an object matching the shape of the args option for the current field

• context: The type Context type defined in SchemaTypes.

• info: a GraphQLResolveInfo object see

  https://graphql.org/graphql-js/type/#graphqlobjecttype

  for more details.

helpers

A set of helpers for creating scalar fields. This work the same as field, but omit the type field from options.

Scalars

• string(options)
• id(options)
• boolean(options)
• int(options)
• float(options)
• stringList(options)
• idList(options)
• booleanList(options)
• intList(options)
• floatList(options)
• listRef(type, options)

expose

A set of helpers to expose fields from the backing model. The name arg can be any field from the backing model that matches the type being exposed. Options are the same as field, but type and resolve are omitted.

• exposeString(name, options)
• exposeID(name, options)
• exposeBoolean(name, options)
• exposeInt(name, options)
• exposeFloat(name, options)
• exposeStringList(name, options)
• exposeIDList(name, options)
• exposeBooleanList(name, options)
• exposeIntList(name, options)
• exposeFloatList(name, options)
