graphql-mongodb-projection

Uses GraphQL resolve's info to generate mongoDB projections

Supports:

• Fields
• InlineFragments
• FragmentSpreads
• Relay Edge Node Pattern

references:

• Getting selectionSet from fieldASTs
• Risingstack Getting Started with GraphlQL and MongoDB

Usage

$ npm install --save-dev graphql-mongodb-projection

Just add it has a second parameter in a .findOne inside the resolve function, make sure to pass it info. (example using koa with express is the 3rd parameter).

import graphqlMongodbProjection from 'graphql-mongodb-projection'
 
const user = {
  type: UserType,
  description: 'Get User by ID',
  args: {
    _id: {type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLString)},
  },
  resolve(root, args, ctx, info) {
    return db.collection('users').findOne({_id: ObjectId(args._id)}, graphqlMongodbProjection(info))
  }
}

Conditional fields

resolve(root, args, ctx, info) {
  const projection = graphqlMongodbProjection(info, {
    // if asked for `avatar` will project `profile.avatar`
    'avatar': 'profile.avatar',
    // always return `verified`
    'verified': true
  })
}
 

on GraphiQL

fragment userInfo on User {
  email
  firstname
}

query {

  # standard fields
  test1: user(_id: "574f263d19bb93d88f1d586d") {
  	_id
  	email
  	firstname
  	lastname
  }

  # with fragment
  test2: user(_id: "573124fb17c1b1631b00ccd1") {
    ...userInfo
  }

  # with fragment
  test3: user(_id: "573124fb17c1b1631b00ccd1") {
    ...userInfo
  }

  # edge node pattern
  test4: users {
    edges {
      node {
  			email
  			firstname
      }
    }
  }

  # edge node pattern with fragment
  test5: users {
    edges {
      node {
                ...userInfo
      }
    }
  }
}
