Nested type definitions
For readability and ergonomics, you can take advantage of nested type definitions. Let's imagine
we have a Blog
and we want to expose Author
and Categories
, but while we're at it, we want
to specify what fields they should have.
# app/_graphql/models.yml
App\PageType\Blog:
fields:
title: true
author:
fields:
firstName: true
surname: true
email: true
categories:
fields: '*'
Alternatively, we could flatten that out:
# app/_graphql/models.yml
App\PageType\Blog:
fields:
title: true
author: true
categories: true
SilverStripe\Security\Member:
fields:
firstName: true
surname: true
email: true
App\Model\BlogCategory:
fields: '*'
You cannot define operations on nested types. They only accept fields.
