How do you index strings longer than 32 characters?

Hi. How do you index strings longer than 32 characters?

@PaulZhemanov We use the Charfield scalar for indexing strings.

type Person {
  id: ID!
  name: Charfield! # Can be up to 255 characters long
}

In your indexer handler you can convert SizedAsciiString (the SDK's string type) to indexer string types by just doing

mod my_module {
  fn my_handler(event: MyEvent) {
    // Assuming event.name is a str[32] defined in your contract 
    let p = Person::new(event.name.to_string());
  }
}

Let me know if this helps. Also gonna move this to a discussion :)
