schema for nest model

[jackypan1989]

I have a user <-> company relation
so I build like that

const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  company: {
    type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
    ref: 'Company'
  }
})

after adding relation, it works with RootQuery.

However, it failed when I try to RootMutation user with companyId.
The graphql console shows that company is "GQLReference" not MongoID or String type
till I wrote

const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  company: {
    type: String,
  }
})

to make RootQuery and RootMutation available.

Did I miss anything?

Auto resolving of Mongoose References not implemented. And I not decided yet should it works by default or not. Cause think that mongoose models should be explicitly converted.

Anyway I'll fix your problem tomorrow. Out of work today.
Graphql-compose-Mongoose should create proper type for fields in mutations.

To solve your problem right now, just change type for input field

UserTC.get('$updateOne.@record').addField('companyId', { type: 'String' });
// The same but longer
const updateOneResolver = UserTC.getResolver('updateOne');
const argumentRecordITC = new InputTypeComposer(updateOneResolver.getArg('record'));
argumentRecordITC.addField('companyId', { type: 'String' });

Thank you @nodkz. I guess it would be great if we could handle String <-> MongoId in the middle layer. Especially we may need to use "type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId" with traditional rest API endpoint .

Mongoose converts proper mongoid provided as string to MongoID object if field has mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId type. Proof.
