Consider following GraphQL query:\n\n\n{\n lastStory {\n title\n author {\n name\n }\n }\n}\n\n\n\n\nWe need Schema that can fulfill it. On the very top level Schema contains Query type:\n\n\n$queryType = new ObjectType([\n 'name' =\n 'Query',\n 'fields' =\n [\n\n 'lastStory' =\n [\n 'type' =\n $blogStoryType,\n 'resolve' =\n function() {\n return [\n 'id' =\n 1,\n 'title' =\n 'Example blog post',\n 'authorId' =\n 1\n ];\n }\n ]\n\n ]\n]);\n\n\n\n\nAs we see field \nlastStory\n has \nresolve\n function that is responsible for fetching data.\n\n\nIn our example we simply return array value, but in real-world application you would query\nyour database/cache/search index and return result.\n\n\nSince \nlastStory\n is of complex type \nBlogStory\n this result is passed down to fields of this type:\n\n\n$blogStoryType = new ObjectType([\n 'name' =\n 'BlogStory',\n 'fields' =\n [\n\n 'author' =\n [\n 'type' =\n $userType,\n 'resolve' =\n function($blogStory) {\n $users = [\n 1 =\n [\n 'id' =\n 1,\n 'name' =\n 'Smith'\n ],\n 2 =\n [\n 'id' =\n 2,\n 'name' =\n 'Anderson'\n ]\n ];\n return $users[$blogStory['authorId']];\n }\n ],\n\n 'title' =\n [\n 'type' =\n Type::string()\n ]\n\n ]\n]);\n\n\n\n\nHere \n$blogStory\n is the array returned by \nlastStory\n field above. \n\n\nAgain: in real-world applications you would fetch user data from datastore by \nauthorId\n and return it.\nAlso note that you don't have to return arrays. You can return any value, \ngraphql-php\n will pass it untouched\nto nested resolvers.\n\n\nBut then the question appears - field \ntitle\n has no \nresolve\n option. How is it resolved?\n\n\nThe answer is: there is default resolver for all fields. When you define your own \nresolve\n function\nfor a field you simply override this default resolver.\n\n\nDefault Field Resolver\n\n\ngraphql-php\n provides following default field resolver:\n\n\nfunction defaultFieldResolver($source, $args, $context, ResolveInfo $info)\n{\n $fieldName = $info-\nfieldName;\n $property = null;\n\n if (is_array($source) || $source instanceof \\ArrayAccess) {\n if (isset($source[$fieldName])) {\n $property = $source[$fieldName];\n }\n } else if (is_object($source)) {\n if (isset($source-\n{$fieldName})) {\n $property = $source-\n{$fieldName};\n }\n }\n\n return $property instanceof \\Closure ? $property($source, $args, $context) : $property;\n}\n\n\n\n\nAs you see it returns value by key (for arrays) or property (for objects). If value is not set - it returns \nnull\n.\n\n\nTo override default resolver - use:\n\n\nGraphQL\\GraphQL::setDefaultFieldResolver($myResolverCallback);\n\n\n\n\nDefault Field Resolver per Type\n\n\nSometimes it might be convenient to set default field resolver per type. You can do so by providing\n\nresolveField option in type config\n. For example:\n\n\n$userType = new ObjectType([\n 'name' =\n 'User',\n 'fields' =\n [\n\n 'name' =\n Type::string(),\n 'email' =\n Type::string()\n\n ],\n 'resolveField' =\n function(User $user, $args, $context, ResolveInfo $info) {\n switch ($info-\nfieldName) {\n case 'name':\n return $user-\ngetName();\n case 'email':\n return $user-\ngetEmail();\n default:\n return null;\n }\n }\n]);\n\n\n\n\nKeep in mind that \nfield resolver\n has precedence over \ndefault field resolver per type\n which in turn\n has precedence over \ndefault field resolver\n.\n\n\nSolving N+1 Problem\n\n\nSince: 9.0\n\n\nOne of the most annoying problems with data fetching is so-called \nN+1 problem\n.\n\n\nConsider following GraphQL query:\n\n\n{\n topStories(limit: 10) {\n title\n author {\n name\n email\n }\n }\n}\n\n\n\n\nNaive field resolution process would require up to 10 calls to underlying data store to fetch authors for all 10 stories.\n\n\ngraphql-php\n provides tools to mitigate this problem: it allows you to defer actual field resolution to later stage \nwhen one batched query could be executed instead of 10 distinct queries.\n\n\nHere is an example of \nBlogStory\n resolver for field \nauthor\n that uses deferring:\n\n\n'resolve' =\n function($blogStory) {\n MyUserBuffer::add($blogStory['authorId']);\n\n return new GraphQL\\Deferred(function () use ($blogStory) {\n MyUserBuffer::loadOnce();\n return MyUserBuffer::get($blogStory['authorId']);\n });\n}\n\n\n\n\nIn this example we fill up buffer with 10 author ids first.
