Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Deprecation Notice

There are many use-cases that are not supported by this library, it is recommended to use something else like graphql-parse-resolve-info

@yonderbox/graphql-fields

Turns GraphQLResolveInfo into a map of the requested fields. Flattens all fragments and duplicated fields into a neat object to easily see which fields were requested at any level. Takes into account any @include or @skip directives, excluding fields/fragments which are @include(if: $false) or @skip(if: $true).

Usage

Schema Type definition

const graphqlFields = require('@yonderbox/graphql-fields');
const graphql = require('graphql')

const UserType = new graphql.GraphQLObjectType({
    name: 'User',
    fields: {
        profile: {type: new graphql.GraphQLObjectType({
          name: 'Profile',
          fields: {
            firstName: {type: graphql.GraphQLString},
            lastName: {type: graphql.GraphQLString},
            middleName: {type: graphql.GraphQLString},
            nickName: {type: graphql.GraphQLString},
            maidenName: {type: graphql.GraphQLString}
          }
        }),
        email: {type: graphql.GraphQLString},
        id: {type: graphql.GraphQLID}
    }
});

module.exports = new GraphQLSchema({
    query: new GraphQLObjectType({
        name: 'Query',
        fields: () =>
            Object.assign({
                user: {
                    type: UserType,
                    resolve(root, args, context, info) {
                        console.log(
                            JSON.stringify(graphqlFields(info), null, 2)
                        );
                        ...
                    }
                }
            })
    })
})

Query

{
  user {
    ...A
    profile {
      ...B
      firstName
    }
  }
}

fragment A on User {
  ...C
  id,
  profile {
    lastName
  }
}

Fragment B on Profile {
  firstName
  nickName @skip(if: true)
}

Fragment C on User {
  email,
  profile {
    middleName
    maidenName @include(if: false)
  }
}

will log

{
  "profile": {
    "firstName": {},
    "lastName": {},
    "middleName": {}
  },
  "email": {},
  "id": {}
}

subfields arguments

To enable subfields arguments parsing, you'll have to provide an option object to the function. This feature is disable by default.

const graphqlFields = require('@yonderbox/graphql-fields');
const fieldsWithSubFieldsArgs = graphqlFields(info, {}, { processArguments: true });

For each subfield w/ arguments, a __arguments property will be created. It will be an array with the following format:

[
    {
        arg1Name: {
            kind: ARG1_KIND,
            value: ARG1_VALUE,
        },
    },
    {
        arg2Name: {
            kind: ARG2_KIND,
            value: ARG2_VALUE,
        }
    }
]

The kind property is here to help differentiate value cast to strings by javascript clients, such as enum values.

Exclude specific fields

Most of the time we don't need __typename to be sent to backend/rest api, we can exclude __typename using this:

const graphqlFields = require('@yonderbox/graphql-fields');
const fieldsWithoutTypeName = graphqlFields(info, {}, { excludedFields: ['__typename'] });

Include alias name

This option returns alias with field name:

const graphqlFields = require('@yonderbox/graphql-fields');
const fieldsWithoutTypeName = graphqlFields(info, {}, { includeAliasName: true });

Request:

{
  person {
    aliasName: name
  }
}

Parsed info object:

{
  aliasName:name: {}
}

Why

An underlying REST api may only return fields based on query params.

{
  user {
    profile {
      firstName
    },
    id
  }
}

should request /api/user?fields=profile,id

while

{
  user {
    email
  }
}

should request /api/user?fields=email

Implement your resolve method like so:

resolve(root, args, context, info) {
    const topLevelFields = Object.keys(graphqlFields(info));
    return fetch(`/api/user?fields=${topLevelFields.join(',')}`);
}
