defmodule Absinthe.Relay.Connection do
@moduledoc """
Support for paginated result sets.
Define connection types that provide a standard mechanism for slicing and
paginating result sets.
For information about the connection model, see the Relay Cursor Connections Specification
at https://facebook.github.io/relay/graphql/connections.htm.
## Connection
Given an object type, eg:
```
object :pet do
field :name, :string
end
```
You can create a connection type to paginate them by:
```
connection node_type: :pet
```
This will automatically define two new types: `:pet_connection` and `:pet_edge`.
We define a field that uses these types to paginate associated records
by using `connection field`. Here, for instance, we support paginating a
person's pets:
```
object :person do
field :first_name, :string
connection field :pets, node_type: :pet do
resolve fn
pagination_args, %{source: person} ->
Absinthe.Relay.Connection.from_list(
Enum.map(person.pet_ids, &pet_from_id(&1)),
pagination_args
)
end
end
end
end
```
The `:pets` field is automatically set to return a `:pet_connection` type,
and configured to accept the standard pagination arguments `after`, `before`,
`first`, and `last`. We create the connection by using
`Absinthe.Relay.Connection.from_list/2`, which takes a list and the pagination
arguments passed to the resolver.
It is possible to provide additional pagination arguments to a relay connection:
```
connection field :pets, node_type: :pet do
arg :custom_arg, :custom
# other args...
resolve fn
pagination_args_and_custom_args, %{source: person} ->
# ... return {:ok, a_connection}
end
end
```
Note: `Absinthe.Relay.Connection.from_list/2`, like `connectionFromArray` in
the JS implementation, expects that the full list of records be materialized
and provided -- it just discards what it doesn't need. Planned for future
development is an implementation more like
`connectionFromArraySlice`, intended for use in cases where you know
the cardinality of the connection, consider it too large to
materialize the entire array, and instead wish pass in a slice of
the total result large enough to cover the range specified in the
pagination arguments.
Here's how you might request the names of the first `$petCount` pets a person
owns:
```
query FindPets($personId: ID!, $petCount: Int!) {
person(id: $personId) {
pets(first: $petCount) {
pageInfo {
hasPreviousPage
hasNextPage
}
edges {
node {
name
}
}
}
}
}
```
`edges` here is the list of intermediary edge types (created for you
automatically) that contain a field, `node`, that is the same `:node_type` you
passed earlier (`:pet`).
`pageInfo` is a field that contains information about the current view; the `startCursor`,
`endCursor`, `hasPreviousPage`, and `hasNextPage` fields.
### Pagination Direction
By default, connections will support bidirectional pagination, but you can
also restrict the connection to just the `:forward` or `:backward` direction
using the `:paginate` argument:
```
connection field :pets, node_type: :pet, paginate: :forward do
```
### Customizing Types
If you'd like to add additional fields to the generated connection and edge
types, you can do that by providing a block to the `connection` macro, eg,
here we add a field, `:twice_edges_count` to the connection type, and another,
`:node_name_backwards`, to the edge type:
```
connection node_type: :pet do
field :twice_edges_count, :integer do
resolve fn
_, %{source: conn} ->
{:ok, length(conn.edges) * 2}
end
end
edge do
field :node_name_backwards, :string do
resolve fn
_, %{source: edge} ->
{:ok, edge.node.name |> String.reverse}
end
end
end
end
```
Just remember that if you use the block form of `connection`, you must call
the `edge` macro within the block.
## Creating Connections
This module provides two functions that mirror similar Javascript functions,
`from_list/2,3` and `from_slice/2,3`. We also provide `from_query/2,3` if you
have Ecto as a dependency for convenience.
Use `from_list` when you have all items in a list that you're going to
paginate over.
Use `from_slice` when you have items for a particular request, and merely need
a connection produced from these items.
## Schema Macros
For more details on connection-related macros, see
`Absinthe.Relay.Connection.Notation`.

Get a connection object for a list of data.
A simple function that accepts a list and connection arguments, and returns
a connection object for use in GraphQL.
The data given to it should constitute all data that further pagination requests
may page over. As such, it may be very inefficient if you're pulling data
from a database which could be used to more directly retrieve just the desired
data.

Build a connection from slice
This function assumes you have already retrieved precisely the number of items
to be returned in this connection request.
Often this function is used internally by other functions.
## Example
This is basically how our `from_query/2` function works if we didn't need to
worry about backwards pagination.

Build a connection from an Ecto Query
This will automatically set a limit and offset value on the ecto query,
and then run the query with whatever function is passed as the second argument.
Notes:
- Your query MUST have an `order_by` value. Offset does not make sense without one.
- `last: N` must always be acompanied by either a `before:` argument to the query,
or an explicit `count: ` option to the `from_query` call.
Otherwise it is impossible to derive the required offset.
