This library makes it easy to create paginated fields for graphql-go. We currently have the following features:
- Simple Pagination (data & count)
- Separated data and count resolvers
- Resolvers are executed only for requested fields
- Skip and Limit
Example:
fields := graphql.Fields{
"languages": pagination.Paginated(&pagination.PaginatedField{
Name: "Languages",
Type: graphql.String,
Args: nil,
DataResolve: func(p graphql.ResolveParams, page pagination.Page) (i interface{}, e error) {
return []string{"Go", "Javascript", "Ruby"}, nil
},
CountResolve: func(p graphql.ResolveParams, page pagination.Page) (i interface{}, e error) {
return 3, nil
},
}),
}
rootQuery := graphql.ObjectConfig{Name: "RootQuery", Fields: fields}
schemaConfig := graphql.SchemaConfig{Query: graphql.NewObject(rootQuery)}
Now you can query as below:
query {
languages(limit: 10, skip: 20) {
data
count
}
}
This library already has the limit
and skip
arguments ready to be used in a query with the database or external service. See the following example:
var DataResolver = func(p graphql.ResolveParams, page pagination.Page) (i interface{}, e error) {
users, err := users.FindMany(db.Filter{
Limit: page.Limit,
Skip: page.Skip,
})
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return users, nil
}
In some datasources or databases like MongoDB, calling a count comes at an additional cost and is not always used. Thus, this library takes care of resolvers only of the requested fields (data and / or count).
query {
languages {
count
}
}
As you can see in example above, only the CountResolve
you be called and the query will not have the cost of calling DataResolve because data
was not requested.
If your API or your Database already returns Data and Count, you can use DataAndCountResolver. Example:
fields := graphql.Fields{
"languages": pagination.Paginated(&PaginatedField{
Name: "Languages",
Type: graphql.String,
Args: nil,
DataAndCountResolve: func(p graphql.ResolveParams, page Page) (interface{}, int, error) {
return []string{"Go", "Javascript", "Ruby", "Elixir"}, 4, nil
},
}),
}
