Ask: Pass parent arguments down to the children

[igloo12]

Hi,

I want to add all my filter parameters to the top-level object of the query because I want to filter out top-level items that don't have the child filter parameters.

eg)

I have People -> Address class structure. I want to find all individuals with the name Luke who have addresses in the province of Quebec. I don't want People with no addresses.

My query object is

{
  "name": "Luke'
  "addressWhere:{
    "province": "Quebec"
  }
}

Currently, I am passing down the argument with context.

  if (where != null) {
            graphQLContext.put(contextPersonWhere, where)
        }

Is there a better way to do this? Can I get the parent arguments injected into the @schemamapping object?

Thanks

I'm not sure I understand the use case. Can you share a minimal GraphQL schema, sample request and expected response?
There might be several ways to solve this, from using input types to indeed storing information in the graphql context.

Schema

type Query {
    findPersonsBy(first: Int, after:String, last:Int, before:String, where:PersonWhere): PersonConnection
}

input PersonWhere {
    name: String
    addressWhere: AddressWhere
}

type AddressWhere{
    province: String
}

type Person {
    name: String
    address: (first:Int, after:String, last:Int, before:String): AddressConnection
}

type Address{
    province
}

Request

query search{
query search {
    findPersonBy(where:{name: "Luke", addressWhere:{province:"Quebec"}}){
        edges{
            node{
                name
                address{
                    edges{
                        node{
                            province
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

I have a maximum window size of 25. If I have 1000 people named "Luke" and only four living in Quebec, I want just the results with Quebec
