Schema Generation

Documentation for Umbraco Heartcore GraphQL schema generation

The GraphQL schema is generated from the Content Types upon creation, and it is generated when a Content Type or a Data Type is changed.

The type name is the Content Type's alias in Pascal Case, e.g. if a Content Type has an alias of product it's GraphQL type name would be Product.

Table of Contents

Types

The types generated depends on how the Content Types are configured.

If a Content Type is inherited from or used as a Composition it will be generated as an interface

interface NavigationBase {
  seoMetaDescription: String
  umbracoNavihide: Boolean
}

If the Document Type is marked as an Element Type it will implement the Element interface

type Feature implements Element {
  contentTypeAlias: String!
  featureName: String
  featureDescription: String
}

All other Content Types will implement either the Content or the Media interface, they will also implement all their Composition interfaces.

type Product implements Content & NavigationBase {
  ancestors(...): ContentConnection!
  category: [String]
  children(...): ContentConnection!
  contentTypeAlias: String!
  createDate: DateTime!
  descendants(...): ContentConnection!
  description: String
  features: [Element]
  id: ID!
  level: Int!
  name: String
  parent: Content
  photos: Media
  price: Decimal
  productName: String
  sku: String
  sortOrder: Int!
  seoMetaDescription: String
  umbracoNavihide: Boolean
  updateDate: DateTime
  url: String
}

A Connection and an Edge type will also be generated, these are used when quering Content of a specific type.

type ProductConnection {
  edges: [ProductEdge]
  pageInfo: PageInfo
}

type ProductEdge {
  cursor: String!
  node: Product
}

Fields

All properties on a Content Type is generated as a field on the GraphQL type. See the Property Editors page for which types the editors are returning.

If a property is marked as Allow varying by culture, a culture argument is added to that field. The argument is optional and will fallback to the parent fields culture or the default culture if none is specified.

type Product implements Content & NavigationBase {
  ...
  productName(culture: String): String
  ...
}

Root Query

The Query type is the entry to the GraphQL API. By default it contains two fields, one to get a single Content item by ID or url and one to get all Content.

type Query {
  """
  Get Content by its unique identifier or url. Either id or url must be specified but not both.
  """
  content(
    """
    The unique identifier of the content.
    """
    id: ID,
    """
    The url of the content.
    """
    url: String,
    """
    The culture to fetch the content in. If empty the default culture will be used.
    """
    culture: String
    """
    Specifies if draft content should be returned. Requires the request to be authenticated.
    """
    preview: Boolean
  ): Content
  """
  Get all Content.
  """
  allContent(
    """
    Specifies the number of edges to return starting from `after` or the first entry if `after` is not specified.
    """
    first: Int,
    """
    Only look at connected edges with cursors greater than the value of `after`.
    """
    after: String,
    """
    Specifies the number of edges to return counting reversely from `before`, or the last entry if `before` is not specified.
    """
    last: Int,
    """
    Only look at connected edges with cursors smaller than the value of `before`.
    """
    before: String,
    """
    The culture to fetch the value in. If empty the default culture will be used.
    """
    culture: String,
    """
    Specifies if draft content should be returned. Requires the request to be authenticated.
    """
    preview: Boolean
    """
    Filter the returned data.
    """
    where: ContentFilterInput,
    """
    Sort the returned data.
    """
    orderBy: [ContentOrderByInput]
  ): ContentConnection!
}

For each Document Type that is not used as a Composition or marked as an Element Type, two fields will be generated on the Query type. One for getting a single Content item by either it's ID or url and a field for getting all Content of that specific type.

type Query {
  ...
  allProduct(first: Int, after: String, last: Int, before: String, culture: String, preview: Boolean, where: ProductFilterInput, orderBy: [ProductOrderByInput]): ProductConnection!
  product(culture: String, id: ID, url: String, preview: Boolean): Product
  ...
}

Reserved Type Names and Property Aliases

GraphQL requires that type names are unique. If a Content Type will collide with one of the reserved names the type will be excluded from generation.

The same applies to Properties. If a Property alias is a reserved one it will also be excluded from generation.

Filtering

For all Document Types a FilterInput type is generated. The name is the type name postfixed by FilterInput e.g. given a type named Product the name will be ProductFilterInput.

Default Filter Fields

To filter the allContent field, ancestors, children and descendants connections the ContentFilterInput is used.

All filter inputs for Content Types will also have the default fields.

Filtering is possible only on non-complex Property Editors like Text Area and Label. Filtering on more complex types like Content Picker and Multi-node Tree Picker has to be done client-side.

Strings

For fields returning String the following filter fields are generated.

Given the following type:

Product implements Content {
...
  sku: String
...
}

The following type will be generated, incl. the fields from the ContentFilterInput.

"""

Ints

For fields returning Int or Decimal the following filters are generated.

The type is either Int or Decimal depending on the output type.

Given the following type:

Lists

For types returning [Decimal], [Int] or [String] the following filters are generated.

The type is [Decimal], [Int] or [String] depending on the output type

Given the following type:

Product implements Content {
...
  tags: [String]
...
}

The following type will be generated, incl. the fields from the ContentFilterInput.

# A filter input for the type `Product`.
input ProductFilterInput {
  """
  All of the filters must match.
  """
  AND: [ProductFilterInput]
  """
  Some of the filters must match.
  """
  OR: [ProductFilterInput]
  """
  None of the filters must match.
  """
  NOT: [ProductFilterInput]
...
  """
  Field must match all of the values.
  """
  tags_all: [String]
  """
  Field must match any of the values.
  """
  tags_some: [String]
...
}

Ordering

The result can be ordered by specifying a value for the orderBy argument.

An OrderBy type is generated for all Document Types. The name is the type name postfixed by OrderByInput e.g. given a type named Product the name will be ProductOrderByInput.

Fields returning DateTime, Decimal, Boolean, Int or String can be used to order by.

Default OrderBy Fields

To filter the allContent field, ancestors, children and descendants connections the ContentOrderBy is used.

All order by inputs for Content Types will also have the default fields.

``"""
An order input for the type `Content`.
"""
enum ContentOrderByInput {
  """
  Order by `contentTypeAlias` in ascending order.
  """
  contentTypeAlias_ASC
  """
  Order by `contentTypeAlias` in descending order.
  """
  contentTypeAlias_DESC
  """
  Order by `createDate` in ascending order.
  """
  createDate_ASC
  """
  Order by `createDate` in descending order.
  """
  createDate_DESC
  """
  Order by `level` in ascending order.
  """
  level_ASC
  """
  Order by `level` in descending order.
  """
  level_DESC
  """
  Order by `name` in ascending order.
  """
  name_ASC
  """
  Order by `name` in descending order.
  """
  name_DESC
  """
  Order by `path` in ascending order.
  """
  path_ASC
  """
  Order by `path` in descending order.
  """
  path_DESC
  """
  Order by `sortOrder` in ascending order.
  """
  sortOrder_ASC
  """
  Order by `sortOrder` in descending order.
  """
  sortOrder_DESC
  """
  Order by `updateDate` in ascending order.
  """
  updateDate_ASC
  """
  Order by `updateDate` in descending order.
  """
  updateDate_DESC
}`

### Custom OrderBy Fields

Given the following type:

```graphql
Product implements Content {
...
  price: Decimal
  sku: String
...
}

The following type will be generated, incl. the fields from the ContentOrderByInput.

"""
An order by input for the type `Product`.
"""
enum ProductOrderByInput {
...
  """
  Order by `price` in ascending order.
  """
  price_ASC
  """
  Order by `price` in descending order.
  """
  price_DESC
  """
  Order by `sku` in ascending order.
  """
  sku_ASC
  # Order by `sku` in descending order.
  sku_DESC
...
}

Default ordering

If you don't specify any order the data returned will be ordered by the path they appear in, in the Umbraco Backoffice tree.
