在 Express GraphQL 中出错：架构必须包含唯一命名的类型，但包含多个名为“String”的类型

Question

So I was trying to create a Pinterest Clone using GraphQL and I am stuck with this error.

Project Structure looks something like this

There are 2 models, User and Pins

Pin Model

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const pinSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  title: {
    type: String,
    required: [true, 'Title is Required'],
    unique: [true, 'Title should be unique'],
  },
  imageUrl: {
    type: String,
    required: [true, 'Image URL is Required'],
  },
  description: {
    type: String,
  },
  link: {
    type: String,
  },
  userId: {
    type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, // to store which user
    required: true,
  },
  createdAt: {
    type: Date,
    default: Date.now(),
  },
});

const Pin = mongoose.model('Pin', pinSchema);
module.exports = Pin;

User Model

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: {
    type: String,
    required: [true, 'Name is Required'],
  },
  userName: {
    type: String,
    required: [true, 'Username is Required'],
    unique: [true, 'Username should be unique'],
  },
  email: {
    type: String,
    required: [true, 'Email is Required'],
    unique: [true, 'Email should be unique'],
  },
  password: {
    type: String,
    required: [true, 'Password is Required'],
  },
  createdPins: {
    type: [mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId], // store all pins created by this user
  },
  savedPins: {
    type: [mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId], // store all pins saved by this user
  },
});

const User = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
module.exports = User;

Graphql PinType

const { GraphQLObjectType, GraphQLID, GraphQLString } = require('graphql');
const User = require('../models/UserModel');

const PinType = new GraphQLObjectType({
  name: 'Pin',
  fields: () => ({
    id: { type: GraphQLID },
    title: { type: GraphQLString },
    imageUrl: { type: GraphQLString },
    description: { type: GraphQLString },
    link: { type: GraphQLString },
    user: {
      type: UserType,
      resolve(parent, args) {
        return User.findById(parent.userId);
      },
    },
    createdAt: { type: String },
  }),
});

module.exports = PinType;

const UserType = require('./UserSchema');

Graphql UserType

const {
  GraphQLObjectType,
  GraphQLID,
  GraphQLString,
  GraphQLList,
} = require('graphql');

const UserType = new GraphQLObjectType({
  name: 'User',
  fields: () => ({
      id: { type: GraphQLID },
      name: { type: GraphQLString },
      userName: { type: GraphQLString },
      createdPins: { type: new GraphQLList(PinType) },
      savedPins: { type: new GraphQLList(PinType) },
  }),
});

module.exports = UserType;

const PinType = require('./PinSchema');

Query and Mutation: schema.js file

const {
  GraphQLObjectType,
  GraphQLList,
  GraphQLID,
  GraphQLSchema,
  GraphQLNonNull,
  GraphQLString,
} = require('graphql');

const User = require('../models/UserModel');
const Pin = require('../models/PinModel');

const UserType = require('./UserSchema');
const PinType = require('./PinSchema');

// Query
const RootQuery = new GraphQLObjectType({
  name: 'RootQuery',
  fields: {
    // Get all Users
    users: {
      type: new GraphQLList(UserType),
      resolve(parent, args) {
        return User.find();
      },
    },
    // Get a Single User
    user: {
      type: UserType,
      args: { id: { type: GraphQLID } },
      resolve(parent, args) {
        return User.findById(args.id);
      },
    },
    // Get all Pins
    pins: {

    // Get a Single Pin
    pin: {

      args: { id: { type: GraphQLID } },
      resolve(parent, args) {
        return Pin.findById(args.id);
      },
    },
  },
});

// Mutation
const Mutation = new GraphQLObjectType({
  name: 'Mutation',
  fields: {
    // Create User
    createUser: {
      type: UserType,
      args: {

      resolve(parent, args) {
        // delete all pins created by this user
        Pin.find({ userId: args.id }).then((pins) => {
          pins.forEach((pin) => {
            pin.remove();
          });
        });
        return User.findByIdAndRemove(args.id);
      },
    },
    // Create a Pin
    createPin: {

const schema = new GraphQLSchema({

Getting this error

Node.js v18.10.0

Tried to search for this and found many people faced similar kind of issues, but I couldn't solve it.

Answer 1

Found the Bug. It was in the Graphql PinType file. While defining the schema, I used "String" instead of "GraphqlString" in the field "createdAt" which was causing the error.
