在 spring 启动 graphql 启动器中等效的 Kickstarter 类型字典

Question

When using spring-boot-starter-graphql Spring is using a simple name to class mapping. Eg for a mutation:

mutation {
  addCategory(id: 6, name: "Green Fruits", products: [8, 2, 3]) {
    name
    products {
      name
    }
  }
}

Spring will check for a mutation called addCategory and for a class named Product .

graphql-java-kickstart offers a way to maintain a dictionary for classes not matching that pattern: https://www.graphql-java-kickstart.com/tools/schema-definition/#type-dictionary

Is there anything similar for spring-boot-starter-graphql ?

Spring's TypeResolver seem to to this for Interfaces and Unions

Answer 1

By default Spring for GraphQL will use a ClassNameTypeResolver to find the GraphQL Object Type from the value returned by the data fetcher. This is looking at the simple class name of the value and if it is not successful, it also navigates its super types including base classes and interfaces.

In case the Class name doesn't match any of the type names in the schema, you can configure a custom type resolver and have additional logic there.

You can instantiate a ClassNameTypeResolver and set its

ClassNameTypeResolver classNameTypeResolver = new ClassNameTypeResolver();
classNameTypeResolver.setClassNameExtractor((klass) -> {
    // Look up into a custom dictionnary
    // fall back to klass.getSimpleName() if none found
});

This can be contributed through a GraphQlSourceBuilderCustomizer in Spring Boot. See https://docs.spring.io/spring-graphql/docs/current-SNAPSHOT/reference/html/#execution-graphqlsource-default-type-resolver .

Answer 2

There is no such dictionary, but you can override the default behavior and customize the type resolver.
