defmodule Absinthe.Type.Object do @moduledoc """ Represents a non-leaf node in a GraphQL tree of information. Objects represent a list of named fields, each of which yield a value of a specific type. Object values are serialized as unordered maps, where the queried field names (or aliases) are the keys and the result of evaluating the field is the value. Also see `Absinthe.Type.Scalar`. ## Examples Given a type defined as the following (see `Absinthe.Schema.Notation.object/3`): ``` @desc "A person" object :person do field :name, :string field :age, :integer field :best_friend, :person field :pets, list_of(:pet) end ``` The "Person" type (referred inside Absinthe as `:person`) is an object, with fields that use `Absinthe.Type.Scalar` types (namely `:name` and `:age`), and other `Absinthe.Type.Object` types (`:best_friend` and `:pets`, assuming `:pet` is an object). Given we have a query that supports getting a person by name (see `Absinthe.Schema`), and a query document like the following: ``` { person(name: "Joe") { name best_friend { name age } pets { breed } } } ``` We could get a result like this: ``` %{ data: %{ "person" => %{ "best_friend" => %{ "name" => "Jill", "age" => 29 }, "pets" => [ %{"breed" => "Wyvern"}, %{"breed" => "Royal Griffon"} ] } } } ``` """ alias Absinthe.Type use Absinthe.Introspection.Kind @typedoc """ A defined object type. Note new object types (with the exception of the root-level `query`, `mutation`, and `subscription`) should be defined using `Absinthe.Schema.Notation.object/3`. * `:name` - The name of the object type. Should be a TitleCased `binary`. Set automatically. * `:description` - A nice description for introspection. * `:fields` - A map of `Absinthe.Type.Field` structs. Usually built via `Absinthe.Schema.Notation.field/4`. * `:interfaces` - A list of interfaces that this type guarantees to implement. See `Absinthe.Type.Interface`. * `:is_type_of` - A function used to identify whether a resolved object belongs to this defined type. For use with `:interfaces` entry and `Absinthe.Type.Interface`.
