Get the parent field in a nested document field resolver

[nivo33]

Hi, I need to access the fields of the parent in a field resolver. @root() used to contain a $parent field, but I just updated from mongoose ~5.10 to ~5.13 and its gone. Any ideas?

Here is my classes (simplified):

ObjectType()
class Entity { 
@Field()
name: string

@Field()
data: Data
}

ObjectType()
class Data{
@Field()
type: string
}

@Resolver(() => Data)
class BResolvers {
   @FieldResolver(() => string)
   metadata(@Root() root, @Ctx() ctx) {
    // I need to access the parents Entity.name field here, but I can't. `root` contains only the Data  fields.
   // used to be that root.$parent contained the fields of the parent Entity - its now gone, and root is just an instance of Data
   }
 
}

I have a simple resolver that returns an instance of Entity.

Thanks!

The root object is just what it is. If it did have a $parent property before you upgraded mongoose, then the previous version of mongoose added it. This doesn't sounds related to TypeGraphQL.

Thanks. Solved it.
If anyone ever somehow encounters this same issue with this same setup...
The solution was accessing the field through $parent() and not $parent. This was changed somewhere in ~mongoose 5.11.x.
