New question - where do I find docs for the arguments that the resolver passes us?

async addToCart(parent, args, ctx, info) {

prepare yourself for some blog articles! 😄 one moment

😄 thank you

A resolver function takes four arguments (in that order): parent: The result of the previous resolver call (more info). args: The arguments of the resolver’s field. context: A custom object each resolver can read from/write to. info: That’s what we’ll discuss in this article.

Thanks Max 🙂 @wesbos you can scroll directly to the “Anatomy of a resolver function” section

beautiful - thank you will read into this

yes, in most cases. there are more complex cases where you can't just pass in the

info

object into your resolver right away

great! That’s one less query I have to write

note that the mechanism of resolvers and

info

is one of the subtle superpowers of GraphQL 🙂

agreed 🙂 it's so helpful. at one point I was hand writing some queries but it was painful and only handled a small set of use cases. The strength of GraphQL is that it is so powerful but it's also a downside as the user can ask for almost anything

Good point. I'd say it's a new tool that needs to be used in a new way to reach its highest potential.

that's where

info

came in 🙂
