schema design question: say I have a type/model called

Game

, and I have a property on it called

Similar

which I want to be an array of other `Game`s that are similar. How do I set up that self-referencing relationship? When I add it as a 1 to many relationship, it automatically recreates my

Similar

prop to 2 new props called:

games1

and

games2

I don’t know if this will help you but this is how I set up a User model with a list of their family members:

type User @model {
  id: ID! @isUnique
  family: Family @relation(name: "FamilyMembers")
}

type Family @model {
  id: ID! @isUnique
  members: [User!]! @relation(name: "FamilyMembers")
}

That’s probably not what you’re looking for though huh

yes, I was trying to avoid having to have another "bridge" type/model

Is the idea that the game similarities are computed, or are they modified / added by users?

they're added by user (admin really)

Gotcha

so when a user is playing Game A he sees a list of similar games he might like

I’m pretty new to the graphcool framework, but for that relation I don’t know if there’s another way to express that relationship without adding an in-between model. Seems like you should be able to though…

right, same thought here, and I'm also new to graphcool

you don’t know how to do ‘computed’ fields do you? like if you have a user model with a first and last name, and you want a

fullName

field that just combines them, do you know if that’s doable with graphcool?

Hi Steve, I think Mike is correct in creating a bridge table 😉

@Mike Gallagher like this? https://github.com/graphcool/framework/issues/56

Yeah I saw this but it wasn’t clear to me if anything changed since Graphcool Framework was released

@Mike Gallagher so when you do the user/family thing like you're doing, how do you initially create the family?

It’s just going to be added by the users themselves

FYI, I ended up posting my question to the forum and got a reply:
