defmodule Absinthe.Schema do
import Absinthe.Schema.Notation
@moduledoc """
Define a GraphQL schema.
See also `Absinthe.Schema.Notation` for a reference of the macros imported by
this module available to build types for your schema.
## Basic Usage
To define a schema, `use Absinthe.Schema` within
a module. This marks your module as adhering to the
`Absinthe.Schema` behaviour, and sets up some macros
and utility functions for your use:
```
defmodule App.Schema do
use Absinthe.Schema
# ... define it here!
end
```
Now, define a `query` (and optionally, `mutation`
and `subscription`).
We'll define a `query` that has one field, `item`, to support
querying for an item record by its ID:
```
# Just for the example. You're probably using Ecto or
# something much more interesting than a module attribute-based
# database!
@fake_db %{
"foo" => %{id: "foo", name: "Foo", value: 4},
"bar" => %{id: "bar", name: "Bar", value: 5}
}
query do
@desc "Get an item by ID"
field :item, :item do
@desc "The ID of the item"
arg :id, type: :id
resolve fn %{id: id}, _ ->
{:ok, Map.get(@fake_db, id)}
end
end
end
```
For more information on object types (especially how the `resolve`
function works above), see `Absinthe.Type.Object`.
You may also notice we've declared that the resolved value of the field
to be of `type: :item`. We now need to define exactly what an `:item` is,
and what fields it contains.
```
@desc "A valuable Item"
object :item do
field :id, :id
@desc "The item's name"
field :name, :string,
field :value, :integer, description: "Recently appraised value"
end
```
We can also load types from other modules using the `import_types`
macro:
```
defmodule App.Schema do
use Absinthe.Schema
import_types App.Schema.Scalars
import_types App.Schema.Objects
# ... schema definition
end
```
Our `:item` type above could then move into `App.Schema.Objects`:
```
defmodule App.Schema.Objects do
use Absinthe.Schema.Notation
object :item do
# ... type definition
end
# ... other objects!
end
```
## Default Resolver
By default, if a `resolve` function is not provided for a field, Absinthe
will attempt to extract the value of the field using `Map.get/2` with the
(atom) name of the field.
You can change this behavior by setting your own custom default resolve
function in your schema. For example, given we have a field, `name`:
```
field :name, :string
```
And we're trying to extract values from a horrible backend API that gives us
maps with uppercase (!) string keys:
```
%{"NAME" => "A name"}
```
Here's how we could set our custom resolver to expect those keys:
```
default_resolve fn
_, %{source: source, definition: %{name: name}} when is_map(source) ->
{:ok, Map.get(source, String.upcase(name))}
_, _ ->
{:ok, nil}
end
```
Note this will now act as the default resolver for all fields in our schema
without their own `resolve` function.

@default_subscription_name "RootSubscriptionType"

Defines a root Subscription object
Subscriptions in GraphQL let a client submit a document to the server that
outlines what data they want to receive in the event of particular updates.
For a full walk through of how to setup your project with subscriptions and
Phoenix see the Absinthe.Phoenix project moduledoc.
When you push a mutation, you can have selections on that mutation result
to get back data you need, IE
```
mutation {
createUser(accountId: 1, name: "bob") {
id
account { name}
}
}
```
However, what if you want to know whe OTHER people create a new user, so that
your UI can update as well. This is the point of subscriptions.
```
subscription {
newUsers {
id
account { name}
}
}
```
The job of the subscription macros then is to give you the tools to connect
subscription documents with the values that will drive them. In the last example
we would get all users for all accounts, but you could imagine wanting just
`newUsers(accountId: 2)`.
In your schema you articulate the interests of a subscription via the `topic`
macro:
```
subscription do
field :new_users, :user do
arg :account_id, non_null(:id)
topic fn args ->
args.account_id
end
end
end
```
The topic can be any term. You can broadcast a value manually to this subscription
by doing
```
Absinthe.Subscription.publish(pubsub, user, [new_users: user.account_id])
```
It's pretty common to want to associate particular mutations as the triggers
for one or more subscriptions, so Absinthe provides some macros to help with
that too.
```
subscription do
field :new_users, :user do
arg :account_id, non_null(:id)
topic fn args ->
args.account_id
end
trigger :create_user, topic: fn user ->
user.account_id
end
end
end
```
The idea with a trigger is that it takes either a single mutation `:create_user`
or a list of mutations `[:create_user, :blah_user, ...]` and a topic function.
This function returns a value that is used to lookup documents on the basis of
the topic they returned from the `topic` macro.
Note that a subscription field can have `trigger` as many trigger blocks as you
need, in the event that different groups of mutations return different results
that require different topic functions.
