Options

Name	Type	Default	Docs
type	atom		The type to use for this entity in the graphql schema. If the resource doesn't have a type, it also needs to have generate_object? false and can only expose generic action queries.
derive_filter?	boolean	true	Set to false to disable the automatic generation of a filter input for read actions.
derive_sort?	boolean	true	Set to false to disable the automatic generation of a sort input for read actions.
encode_primary_key?	boolean	true	For resources with composite primary keys, or primary keys not called :id, this will cause the id to be encoded as a single id attribute, both in the representation of the resource and in get requests
relationships	list(atom)		A list of relationships to include on the created type. Defaults to all public relationships where the destination defines a graphql type.
paginate_relationship_with	keyword	[]	A keyword list indicating which kind of pagination should be used for each has_many and many_to_many relationships, e.g. related_things: :keyset, other_related_things: :offset. Valid pagination values are nil, :offset, :keyset and :relay.
field_names	keyword		A keyword list of name overrides for attributes.
hide_fields	list(atom)		A list of attributes to hide from the domain
show_fields	list(atom)		A list of attributes to show in the domain. If not specified includes all (excluding hide_fiels).
argument_names	keyword		A nested keyword list of action names, to argument name remappings. i.e create: [arg_name: :new_name]
keyset_field	atom		If set, the keyset will be displayed on all read actions in this field. It will be nil unless at least one of the read actions on a resource uses keyset pagination or it is the result of a mutation
attribute_types	keyword		A keyword list of type overrides for attributes. The type overrides should refer to types available in the graphql (absinthe) schema. list_of/1 and non_null/1 helpers can be used.
attribute_input_types	keyword		A keyword list of input type overrides for attributes. The type overrides should refer to types available in the graphql (absinthe) schema. list_of/1 and non_null/1 helpers can be used.
argument_input_types	keyword		A keyword list of actions and their input type overrides for arguments. The type overrides should refer to types available in the graphql (absinthe) schema. list_of/1 and non_null/1 helpers can be used.
primary_key_delimiter	String.t	"~"	If a composite primary key exists, this can be set to determine delimiter used in the id field value.
depth_limit	integer		A simple way to prevent massive queries.
generate_object?	boolean	true	Whether or not to create the GraphQL object, this allows you to manually create the GraphQL object.
filterable_fields	list(atom)		A list of fields that are allowed to be filtered on. Defaults to all filterable fields for which a GraphQL type can be created.
nullable_fields	atom | list(atom)		Mark fields as nullable even if they are required. This is useful when using field policies. See the authorization guide for more.

graphql.managed_relationships

Generates input objects for manage_relationship arguments on resource actions.

Nested DSLs

• managed_relationship

Examples

managed_relationships do
  manage_relationship :create_post, :comments
end

Options

Name	Type	Default	Docs
auto?	boolean	true	Automatically derive types for all arguments that have a manage_relationship call change.

graphql.managed_relationships.managed_relationship

managed_relationship action, argument

Instructs ash_graphql that a given argument with a manage_relationship change should have its input objects derived automatically from the potential actions to be called.

For example, given an action like:

actions do
create :create do
argument :comments, {:array, :map}

change manage_relationship(:comments, type: :direct_control) # <- we look for this change with a matching argument name
end
end

You could add the following managed_relationship

graphql do
...

managed_relationships do
managed_relationship :create, :comments
end
end

By default, the {:array, :map} would simply be a json[] type. If the argument name is placed in this list, all of the potential actions that could be called will be combined into a single input object. If there are type conflicts (for example, if the input could create or update a record, and the create and update actions have an argument of the same name but with a different type), a warning is emitted at compile time and the first one is used. If that is insufficient, you will need to do one of the following:

1.) provide the :types option to the managed_relationship constructor (see that option for more) 2.) define a custom type, with a custom input object (see the custom types guide), and use that custom type instead of :map 3.) change your actions to not have overlapping inputs with different types

Since managed relationships can ultimately call multiple actions, there is the possibility of field type conflicts. Use the types option to determine the type of fields and remove the conflict warnings.

For non_null use {:non_null, type}, and for a list, use {:array, type}, for example:

{:non_null, {:array, {:non_null, :string}}} for a non null list of non null strings.

To remove a key from the input object, simply pass nil as the type.

Arguments

Name	Type	Default	Docs
action	atom		The action that accepts the argument
argument	atom		The argument for which an input object should be derived.

Options

Name	Type	Default	Docs
lookup_with_primary_key?	boolean		If the managed_relationship has on_lookup behavior, this option determines whether or not the primary key is provided in the input object for looking up.
lookup_identities	list(atom)		Determines which identities are provided in the input object for looking up, if there is on_lookup behavior. Defalts to the use_identities option.
type_name	atom		The name of the input object that will be derived. Defaults to <action_type>_<resource>_<argument_name>_input
types	any		A keyword list of field names to their graphql type identifiers.
ignore?	boolean	false	Use this to ignore a given managed relationship, preventing auto? true from deriving a type for it.
