Defined in:

Overview

Subclasses must implement:

- {#cursor_from_node}, which returns an opaque cursor for the given item
- {#sliced_nodes}, which slices by `before` & `after`
- {#paged_nodes}, which applies `first` & `last` limits

In a subclass, you have access to

- {#object}, the object which the connection will wrap
- {#first}, {#after}, {#last}, {#before} (arguments passed to the field)
- {#max_page_size} (the specified maximum page size that can be returned from a connection)

Direct Known Subclasses

CURSOR_SEPARATOR =

Just to encode data in the cursor, use something that won’t conflict

"---"
CONNECTION_IMPLEMENTATIONS =

Map of collection classes -> connection_classes eg Array -> ArrayConnection

{}
METHODS_FROM_ARGUMENTS =

Provide easy access to provided arguments:

[:first, :after, :last, :before, :order]

Constructor Details

#initialize(object, arguments, max_page_size: nil) ⇒ BaseConnection

Make a connection, wrapping ‘object`

Parameters:

  • The

    collection of results

  • Query

    arguments

  • max_page_size (Int) (defaults to: nil)

    The maximum number of results to return

Class Method Details

.connection_for_items(items) ⇒ subclass of BaseConnection

Find a connection implementation suitable for exposing ‘items`

Parameters:

  • A (Object)

    collection of items (eg, Array, AR::Relation)

Returns:

  • (subclass of BaseConnection)

    a connection Class for wrapping ‘items`

def self.connection_for_items(items)
  # We check class membership by comparing class names rather than
  # identity to prevent this from being broken by Rails autoloading.
  # Changes to the source file for ItemsClass in Rails apps cause it to be
  # reloaded as a new object, so if we were to use `is_a?` here, it would
  # no longer match any registered custom connection types.
  ancestor_names = items.class.ancestors.map(&:name)

    raise("No connection implementation to wrap #{items.class} (#{items})")

    field :pageInfo, PageInfo, property: :page_info

  end

end

.register_connection_implementation(items_class, connection_class) ⇒ Object

Add ‘connection_class` as the connection wrapper for `items_class` eg, `RelationConnection` is the implementation for `AR::Relation`

Parameters:

  • A (Class)

    class representing a collection (eg, Array, AR::Relation)

  • A (Class)

    class implementing Connection methods
