Is there documentation on returning objects with relation objects as a part of the type? about graphql-laravel HOT 4 CLOSED

If it fits for graphql-laravel, I definitely welcome more docs. The updates on the readme are… not so many.

I'm still not sure what the actual issue is you are having, but maybe you should propose a PR for the docs (aka: readme.md) and we take it from there?

graphql-laravel is a wrapper over https://github.com/webonyx/graphql-php/ and therefore knowledge how this library works and handles those things is necessary to answer this.

Your question is not very specific, but in general there's the concept of a "default field resolver" which uses specific algorithm to "traverse" GraphQL request paths of fields into the returned payload (be it array, objects with getters or attributes etc.)

Specifically, I'm talking about the default implementation from http://webonyx.github.io/graphql-php/data-fetching/#default-field-resolver

This library uses the same (but it can be overriden via config defaultFieldResolver).

From there, we now can learn how the returned data facts are by default handled and so we know what we need to do with relations.

We either can use the SelectFields approach, which handles basic and some advanced cases well but has limitations in other places and therefore I would not recommend it.

Or, for relations, you implement your own resolve and use a dataloader like https://webonyx.github.io/graphql-php/data-fetching/#solving-n1-problem explains, to "lazy eager load" the relational data. But it's definitely more setup work than SelectFields but is indefinitely flexible.

So, not sure that covers your question though? 🤔

I'm closing this issue because there's no hard actionable here.

Bugfixes or doc upgrades are of course always welcome.
