Pass data from parent to child

[Stevemoretz]

I have asked this in stackoverflow and got some workaround as an answer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75375487/laravel-lighthouse-pass-data-from-parent-to-child/75379321#75379321, but were thinking maybe there is a cleaner way maybe via using ResolveInfo .

So just wanted to make sure if the best way to send data to child is do that extra data from parent and get it as the first argument of child (the parent data) or is there a better way.

   public function parent(
        $_,
        array $args,
        GraphQLContext $context,
        ResolveInfo $resolveInfo
    ) {
        return [
            "extra_data_for_child" => true,
            "real_data" => [
                "real_stuff" => [
                    "real" => "1",
                ],
            ],
        ];
    }

    /**
     * @param null $_
     * @param array{} $args
     */
    public function child(
        $parent,
        array $args,
        GraphQLContext $context,
        ResolveInfo $resolveInfo
    ) {
        dd($parent['extra_data_for_child']); // true
    }

Just returning the data is perfectly fine. Only root fields really resolve to a value, inbetween resolvers can return any data that is helpful to continue building the tree of data to finally return.
