Overview

An Interface contains a collection of types which implement some of the same fields.

Interfaces can have fields, defined with ‘field`, just like an object type.

Objects which implement this field inherit field definitions from the interface. An object type can override the inherited definition by redefining that field.

Examples:

An interface with three 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

Implementing an interface with an object type

Laptoptype = GraphQL::ObjectType.define do
  interfaces [DeviceInterface]
end
