I am trying to order an array returned by resolver in GraphQL. I can only think of way of ordering data using DB Query, but how can we order data that GraphQL resolves using its resolver functions?
Below is my Query resolver:
getAllNotifications: (
_parent,
_args: { authorId: string },
context: Context
) => {
return context.prisma.blog.findMany({
where: {
authorId: _args.authorId,
},
orderBy: {
created_at: "desc",
},
});
},
And my query:
query Query($authorId: String) {
getAllNotifications(authorId: $authorId) {
title
comment {
id
created_at
}
}
}
And result:
{
"data": {
"getAllNotifications": [
{
"title": "First Ride! ",
"comment": [ <--- I am trying to order this comment array using created_at date
{
"id": "cl8afqaqx001209jtxx7mt5h6",
"created_at": "2022-09-20T16:53:07.689Z"
},
{
"id": "cl8agiq71001509l27or7oxyd",
"created_at": "2022-09-20T17:15:14.077Z"
},
{
"id": "cl8ahmvrm003109l8dp684bn6",
"created_at": "2022-09-20T17:46:27.538Z"
},
{
"id": "cl99kj24p002609iajdbpycg0",
"created_at": "2022-10-15T06:59:24.169Z"
}
]
}
]
}
}
I didn't found anything in Graphql docs regarding ordering data returned by resolver
GraphQL doesn't have functions for selection and ordering, those are jobs that resolvers must do.
Add a resolver for comment
that sorts the comment
array. Your existing sort just sorts based on the created_at
date of the post.
