Does deleting a file from the File Type not delete the actual file? Or do you have some kind of cleanup cron job running in the background?

In graph.cool's default

user

node, is there any conventional/best type (e.g. string, json, etc) for storing a user's names (first/middle/last/suffix) ?

For example, you could use a string array by checking

Store multiple values in this field

But I was kind of thinking of something more like:

type

User { id: ID! name: { first: string!, middle: string!, last: string!, suffix: string! } }

Any suggestions as to which type would allow me to implement that ^

Furthermore, how do I determine whether it is better to place individual fields on my

User

for name, address, phone, email, etc.. or if I should just place an info field on my user which contacts name,address,phone,email, etc..

For example:

User: { id: ID! name:[String!] address:[String!] phone:[Int!] email: String! }

..versus..

User: { id: ID! info:{...} }

where info contains name/address/phone/email

JSON would enable that

But you can't query directly on JSON fields (I think), so keep that in mind when deciding

hmm --I want all the data to be queryable so it sounds like I'll need to have individual fields for each: first/middle/last/suffix/address/telephone/email/etc..

@nilan Per the above discussion, are JSON fields non-queryable?

With queryable, I meant can be used for filtering, ordering, etc.

they will show up in query results of course

If you want to query a list of users ordered by last name, and last name is part of a JSON field, you can't do that

JSON fields are meant to be used to incoming data of which the structure is not known beforehand (user defined fields for example) or similar use cases

Question: speaking of ordering, does anyone know what's the collation used for ordering?

Hi guys, was playing around a bit with graphdoc to generate API documentation. I published the generated docs here in case anyone wants to know what it looks like: https://schema-kgfnulgaal.now.sh/ The link to graphdoc is on the API documentation pages. Cheers!

hi! i am integrating stripe payements following this tutorial: https://www.graph.cool/docs/tutorials/stripe-payments-with-mutation-callbacks-using-micro-and-now-soiyaquah7/

it's all ok but i cannot understand what

gc-pat

is, at the step "Setup now", here: https://www.graph.cool/docs/tutorials/stripe-payments-with-mutation-callbacks-using-micro-and-now-soiyaquah7/#setup-now

ok, found it! it is Permanent Authentication Token https://www.graph.cool/docs/reference/auth/authentication-tokens-eip7ahqu5o/#token-types

I'm having problems with debugging a permission query issue

In a permission query, is the

$node_id

variable available for CREATE permissions? I thought it was, and according to the documentation it is, but on the right-hand side where all the available variables are listed, it doesn't show up.

Hi all..I've been working on this problem for the last two days in my React/GraphQL website using Auth0. I've followed the examples closely. I'm able to successfully create users in the Auth0 console, but the users never get created on the GraphQL Server. Any Help is greatly appreciated 🙂 I keep getting this error:

I actually get the same error when using the hosted version of the tutorial here... http://apollo-auth0.netlify.com/
