SO I have created a customer model which have an id(autogenerated by mongodb) and 5 other fields of schema type.
I have used graphql for creating apis.
Everything is working fine, I have created mutations to add data, its all tested in mongo that data is being saved.
But if you check my graphql output I am unable to query subdocuments, it shows null. I want list of all subdocuments with data.
PlEASE HELP

Answer 1

I had tried this way and its working perfectly,
Firstly as you are passing the whole model in your new Customer model so instead of that I just have stored the ID as a reference.
const CustomerSchema = new mongoose.Schema(
{
generalInformation: {
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: "GeneralInfo"
},
contactData: { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: "ContactData" },
financialData: {
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: "FinacialData"
},
personalData: { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: "PersonalData" }
},
{
timestamps: true
}
);
After that, for CustomerType, I had done this
const CustomerType = new GraphQLObjectType({
name: "Customer",
fields: () => ({
id: { type: GraphQLID },
customerContact: {
type: CustomerContactType,
resolve(parent, args) {
return CustomerContact.findById(parent.contactData);
}
},
generalInformation: {
type: CustomerGeneralType,
resolve(parent, args) {
return CustomerGeneral.findById(parent.generalInformation);
}
},
financialData: {
type: CustomerFinanceType,
resolve(parent, args) {
return CustomerFinance.findById(parent.financialData);
}
},
personalData: {
type: CustomerPersonalType,
resolve(parent, args) {
return CustomerPersonal.findById(parent.personalData);
}
}
})
});
And them for RootQuery
customers: {
type: new GraphQLList(CustomerType),
resolve(parent, args) {
return Customar.find({});
}
}
and here is my Query:
{
customers{
id
generalInformation{
purposeOfBusiness
}
customerContact{
phone
email
countryResidence
}
financialData{
taxNo
}
}
}
And Output
{
"data": {
"customers": [
{
"id": "5fa3fe066f0fda0568e56456",
"generalInformation": {
"purposeOfBusiness": "Test Purpose"
},
"customerContact": {
"phone": "123456798",
"email": "test#demo.com",
"countryResidence": "Pak"
},
"financialData": {
"taxNo": "120033244"
}
}
]
}
}
