Inherits:

Defined in:
lib/graphql/interface_type.rb

Overview

A collection of types which implement the same fields

Examples:

An interface with three required fields

DeviceInterface = GraphQL::InterfaceType.define do
  name("Device")
  description("Hardware devices for computing")

  field :ram, types.String
  field :processor, ProcessorType
  field :release_year, types.Int
end

Constant Summary collapse

DEFAULT_RESOLVE_TYPE =

The default implementation of #resolve_type gets ‘object.class.name` and finds a type with the same name

-> (object) {
  type_name = object.class.name
  possible_types.find {|t| t.name == type_name}
}

end

#possible_types ⇒ Array<GraphQL::ObjectType>

Returns Types which declare that they implement this interface.

def possible_types
  @possible_types ||= []
end

#resolve_type(object) ⇒ GraphQL::ObjectType

Return the implementing type for ‘object`. The default implementation assumes that there’s a type with the same name as ‘object.class.name`. Maybe you’ll need to override this in your own interfaces!

Parameters:

  • object (Object) —

    the object which needs a type to expose it

Returns:
