I created a user model

type User {
  id: ID!
  first_name: String!
  last_name: String!
  email_address: String!
}

and would like to group

first_name

and

last_name

into a

name

object that, when the user is queried, nests the two names like

name: { first, last }

so I can do a

name.first

etc. Can this be done without creating a 'name' table in the database? I.e. Simply at the Prisma interpretation level, not database. Thanks for any advice for converting my current (flat) structure.

You can do that in your GraphQL server

Thanks. I actually already looked that guide but its not quite what I'm after. I don't want to add an auto-calculated field like

fullname

, but rather nest the name details or (another example) email information, say if I store

email_address

and

email_verified

, I would like to know if I can make an

email

type (just without creating another table for this type) that nests the two fields (e.g.

email: { address, verified }

) instead of a flat structure.

You can do that. In your GraphQL API, define the

email

type and the resolvers for it's fields
