queryField

queryField

Often times you want to split up query fields into different domains of your application, and like mutationField are another one of the most common use-cases for extendType. queryField exists as a shorthand for this common case:

1import { stringArg } from 'nexus'
2
3export const usersQueryField = queryField('user', {
4  type: SomeType,
5  args: {
6    id: nonNull(stringArg()),
7  },
8  resolve() {
9    // ...
10  },
11})

as shorthand for:

1export const usersQueryField = extendType({
2  type: 'Query',
3  definition(t) {
4    t.field('user', {
5      type: SomeType,
6      args: {
7        id: nonNull(stringArg()),
8      },
9      resolve() {
10        // ...
11      },
12    })
13  },
14})

You can also use it with a function as the first argument, which will pass the t provided to the definition block, especially useful when using with the connection plugin:

1export const usersQueryField = queryField(t => {
2  t.connectionField('users', {
3    type: SomeType,
4    resolve() {
5      // ...
6    },
7  })
8})
