03/28/2018, 9:29 PMIs it possible to link two types with an ID that is shared? I have several types that represent REST endpoints. One endpoint returns a person_id, but not the whole person

03/28/2018, 9:33 PMwhat do you mean by "link two types with an ID that is shared"? Like, you query a single endpoint and you can get two different types of models back?

03/28/2018, 9:38 PMI think I might have answered my own question...I am trying to resolve the person type from my resolvers when that person type is itself inside a type of Donation

03/28/2018, 9:40 PMI think you're saying you want to set up a relation between Person and Donation, then query for a Person inside of Donation?
Christian Genco
03/28/2018, 9:41 PMex: get the person associated with given donation?

03/28/2018, 9:41 PMYes

03/28/2018, 9:41 PMOkay neat - just set up a relation between them: https://www.graph.cool/docs/reference/database/data-modelling-eiroozae8u#relations
Christian Genco
03/28/2018, 9:43 PMShould look something like
type Person @model{donations: [Donation!]!} @relation(name: "DonationPerson")type Donation @model{person: Person! @relation(name: "DonationPerson")}j

03/28/2018, 9:43 PMYea, that doesn't really work though because my data lives in a rest endpoint, so I don't store it locally
joshjoe
03/28/2018, 9:43 PMMaybe I should, though

Christian Genco
03/28/2018, 9:45 PMI think your type definitions would be the same, you'd just need to define a resolver to get a person from a Donation node
Christian Genco
03/28/2018, 9:46 PMthen do
GET /your/rest/api/donations/ID/personj
joshjoe
03/28/2018, 9:47 PMYes, I'm trying to find some documentation on how to define a sub-resolver
c
Christian Genco
03/28/2018, 9:50 PMWhat are you writing your resolvers in? I'm pretty sure most libraries dynamically make sub resolvers based on the root resolvers you have written
Christian Genco
03/28/2018, 9:51 PMie: if you've written your
Person{Donation(id: "123"){person: {email}}j
joshjoe
03/28/2018, 9:53 PMI'm writing them in the standard prisma way
joshjoe
03/28/2018, 10:07 PMI can't seem to get that to work, not sure what I'm doing wrong
joshjoe
03/28/2018, 10:07 PMThe args I'm allowed to use should show up in the schema docs on the playground, right?

@Fitch any pointers?

03/29/2018, 12:43 AMresolvers in utils are complex .. Ive been working on a boilerplate of our framework but it isnt ready yet .. utils loads queries and mutations .. that perform operations on prisma ..

03/29/2018, 12:43 AMThere are some examples here - https://www.graph.cool/forum/t/feedback-schema-extensions-beta/405?u=nilan
