Is there a way to change []*Thing to []Thing?

[frederikhors]

Using gqlgen I'm using []Thing everywhere instead of []*Thing with the option omit_slice_element_pointers in config file gqlgen.yml.

Can I ask why you preferred to use this type of signature with pointers?

Is there a way to change it like in gqlgen?

If you mean for an entity (eager-loaded) edges that are a few reasons for this, but the main 2 are: this is how Ent distinguishes between Found/NotFound (see example) and in some cases, we reuse the same object in a few references.

For gqlgen integration, we also return pointers to indicate null (not found) object. Here's an example: https://github.com/ent/contrib/blob/master/entgql/internal/todo/ent/gql_edge.go#L164
