module Types
class SomeProgramType < Types::BaseObject
implements Types:ProgramType
field :description, String, null: false
end
end
I also added queries for SomeProgram types in the query_type file. I was under the impression that adding "implement " to the object types, would allow them to inherit the fields from the interface (per this link: https://graphql-ruby.org/type_definitions/interfaces) and I would be able to query like this:
query {
someProgram(id: 1) {
name
type
description
}
}
But I am getting errors in graphiql, like "Field 'name' doesn't exist on type 'SomeProgram'". What am I missing?
Update:
My QueryType class:
class QueryType < Types::BaseObject
# Add `node(id: ID!) and `nodes(ids: [ID!]!)`
include GraphQL::Types::Relay::HasNodeField
include GraphQL::Types::Relay::HasNodesField
field :some_programs, [SomeProgramType], null: false,
description: "all some programs"
def some_programs
SomeProgram.all
end
field :some_program, SomeProgramType, null: false do
argument :id, ID, required: true
end
def some_program(id:)
SomeProgram.find(id)
end
end
I figured out the issue. I had put implements Types:SomeProgram
instead of implements Types::SomeProgram
. I was missing a colon.
