I tried my luck with this mini graphql api,
but before getting into the point of this question i have some questions before:
- When using swapi api for example and more specific i want to fetch films , when i write the filmType GraphQLObjectType do i have to add into fields all of the attributes that is shown under films?
Or i can choose the data i want to fetch even though when querying I will do it anyway
And now lets see the code and the error message im getting:
film.js:
const axios = require("axios");
const {
GraphQLObjectType,
GraphQLString,
GraphQLID,
GraphQLInt,
GraphQLSchema,
} = require("graphql");
const filmType = new GraphQLObjectType({
name: "Film",
fields: () => ({
title: {
type: GraphQLString,
},
episode_id: {
type: GraphQLInt,
},
opening_crawl: {
type: GraphQLString,
},
}),
});
const RootQuery = new GraphQLObjectType({
name: "RootQuery",
fields: {
film: {
type: filmType,
args: {
id: GraphQLInt,
},
resolve: (parent, args) => {
try {
return axios
.get(`http://swapi.co/api/films/${args.id}`)
.then((res) => res.data);
} catch (err) {
throw new Error("Error fetching film from swapi.dev");
}
},
},
},
});
module.exports = new GraphQLSchema({
query: RootQuery,
});
And App.js:
const express = require("express");
const { graphqlHTTP } = require("express-graphql");
const { graphql } = require("graphql");
const graphqlSchema = require("./graphql/film");
const app = express();
app.use(
"/graphql",
graphqlHTTP({
schema: graphqlSchema,
graphiql: true,
})
);
app.listen(3000);
console.log(`Listening to port 3000`);
And the query inside http://localhost:3000/graphiql
query {
film(id: 1){
title
episode_id
opening_crawl
}
}
The error Im getting:
{
"errors": [
{
"message": "The type of RootQuery.film(id:) must be Input Type but got: undefined."
}
]
}
