I have a rails app and I use gem GraphQL.
The app contain this type in:
app/graphql/types/category_type.rb
module Types
class CategoryType < Types::BaseObject
field :id, ID, null: false
field :name, String, null: false
field :weight, Integer, null: false
field :parent_id, Integer
field :categories, [Types::CategoryType]
field :shoes, [Types::ShoeType]
def categories
object.categories.all
end
def shoes()
object.shoes.all
end
end
end
and this query in
app/graphql/types/query_type.rb
field :category, CategoryType, "Find shoes by category" do
argument :name, String
argument :order_by, String
end
def category(name:, order_by:)
@category = Category.find_by(name: name)
if order_by == "name"
@category.shoes = @category.shoes.order(name: :asc)
elsif order_by == "popularity"
@category.shoes = @category.shoes.order(popularity: :asc)
end
@category
end
This line of code: @category.shoes = @category.shoes.order(name: :asc)
does absolutely nothing.
How can I query one category and have all the shoes belonging to that category ordered by my custom order option?
I have tried to do this in
app/graphql/types/category_type.rb
field :shoes, [ShoeType], null: true do
argument :order_by, String, required: false
end
...
def shoes(order_by: nil)
if order_by == "popularity"
object.shoes.all.order(order: :asc)
elsif order_by == "name"
object.shoes.all.order(name: :asc)
else
object.shoes.all
end
end
app/graphql/types/query_type.rb
field :category, CategoryType, "Find shoes by category" do
argument :name, String
end
def category(name:)
@category = Category.find_by(name: name)
@category
end
But when I query with this:
query { category (name: "Casual") {name shoes(order_by: "popularity"){name} } }
I get this error:
"message": "Field 'shoes' doesn't accept argument 'order_by'"
