06/12/2017, 1:13 PM@picosam that's correct! We are looking to offer the ability to build custom resolvers with a feature we call "custom mutations/queries" (https://github.com/graphcool/feature-requests/issues/40). However, with functions you can already achieve pretty advanced use cases. What exactly do you want to do?

06/12/2017, 1:15 PMMy famous flattening-of-the-single-item-array optimization 😄
picosam
06/12/2017, 1:15 PMThis would happen on reading though (query) not on mutations

nilan
06/12/2017, 1:16 PMAh I see
nilan
06/12/2017, 1:17 PMyou have a
to-manyto-onep
picosam
06/12/2017, 1:18 PMBecause I store languages, so it has to be a to-many
picosam
06/12/2017, 1:18 PMI just filter according to the user language when I do the query

nilan
06/12/2017, 1:18 PMAhh I see
nilan
06/12/2017, 1:19 PMDid you explore Apollo afterware: http://dev.apollodata.com/core/network.html#networkInterfaceAfterware?
nilan
06/12/2017, 1:20 PMand also, why don't you like the naïve approach? Do the transformation logic on the client after receiving the data
nilan
06/12/2017, 1:21 PManother option is to transform the data before it is injected into the component: http://dev.apollodata.com/react/queries.html#graphql-props-option

06/12/2017, 1:21 PMHmm… I’m using angular, but yes, let me check this out.
n
nilan
06/12/2017, 1:21 PMoh, right. the afterware is also available for Angular because it's part of
apollo-client👍 1

picosam
06/12/2017, 1:21 PMAbout doing the mapping, it gets a bit complicated quite quickly actually

nilan
06/12/2017, 1:23 PMhm I have no experience with
afterwarenilan
06/12/2017, 1:23 PM🙂

06/12/2017, 1:24 PMLOL; hey, be careful, I take your advice seriously!
n
nilan
06/12/2017, 1:24 PMWell, it gives you the ability to look into the actual response
nilan
06/12/2017, 1:24 PMand transform it
nilan
06/12/2017, 1:24 PMbut it might be the wrong "abstraction level"
nilan
06/12/2017, 1:25 PMI think the way to transform it with React is probably the best approach and it should also be available with Angular.
nilan
06/12/2017, 1:25 PMmaybe this: http://dev.apollodata.com/angular2/queries.html#rxjs?
p
picosam
06/12/2017, 1:27 PMYeah so that’s using RxJs mapping, which is what I’m doing now… except it really got complicated very quickly

nilan
06/12/2017, 1:27 PM😕

picosam
06/12/2017, 1:27 PMBut hey, I’ll keep going down that road…

06/12/2017, 2:14 PMThe result.response.json() contains the query result in applyAfterware, so you can use that to perform the flattening. If necessary, you can use the helpers to turn it into a GraphQL document for easy parsing, but I can't find that example right now...
