nestjs-prisma-dynamic-resolvers v0.1.17

nestjs-prisma-dynamic-resolvers

This package allows you to dynamically resolve the relations between Prisma models in your Nestjs application.

The usage is pretty simple and the defining navigations between two different Prisma models are possible in two different ways:

• Using the @NavigationProperty decorator.
• Using the registerNavigation function.

After defining your navigations, the application will not have its effect immediately to prevent unexpected scenarios during the setup process of your module. This also lets the developer to comment out a single line to debug the navigation effect between models.

Use the @UseDynamicResolvers decoraor on your model classes which have navigation to another model classes and with these decorators/functions the navigation setup will be completed.

As this package is designed to be used with the Prisma package, you should provide your PrismaClient instance to the dynamic resolvers.

Setup Example

Assume you have the following model classes:

// user.ts

import { UserRole } from './user-role'
import { ID, Field } from '@nestjs/graphql'
import { NavigationProperty, UseDynamicResolvers } from 'nestjs-prisma-dynamic-resolvers'

@ObjectType()
@UseDynamicResolvers({ moduleName: 'user' })
export class User {
  @Field(() => ID)
  id!: string

  @Field()
  name!: string

  @Field()
  surname!: string

  @Field(() => [ UserRole ], {
    defaultValue: []
  })
  @NavigationProperty({ target: UserRole })
  roles: UserRole[] = []
}

// user-role.ts

import { ID, Field } from '@nestjs/graphql'
import { UseDynamicResolvers } from 'nestjs-prisma-dynamic-resolvers'

@ObjectType()
@UseDynamicResolvers({ moduleName: 'user' })
export class UserRole {
  @Field(() => ID)
  id!: string

  @Field()
  name!: string
}

// user.module.ts
import { provideDynamicResolvers } from 'nestjs-prisma-dynamic-resolvers'

@Module({
  // ...
  providers: [
    // ...
    PrismaService,
    ...provideDynamicResolvers(PrismaService, 'user')
  ]
  // ...
})
export class UserModule {}

And that's it! Now you can execute the following GraphQL query easily:

-- Assuming you have allUsers query

query {
  allUsers { 
    id
    name
    surname

    roles {
      id
      name
    }
  }
}

Advanced Example

Now the best part of this library is when you have nested references between database table models. Like, when a class is referencing another class that also references another class which all are also Prisma models.

In addition to that, as JavaScript/TypeScript is not allowing recursive imports we will define navigations in another file.

Assuming you have another class:

// user-claim.ts
import { ID, Field } from '@nestjs/graphql'
import { UserRole } from './user-role'
import { NavigationProperty, UseDynamicResolvers } from 'nestjs-prisma-dynamic-resolvers'

@ObjectType()
@UseDynamicResolvers({ moduleName: 'user' })
export class UserClaim {
  @Field(() => ID)
  id!: string

  @Field()
  name!: string

  @Field(() => [ UserRole ], {
    defaultValue: []
  })
  roles: UserRole[] = []
}

And your User class is updated to this:

// user.ts
import { UserClaim } from './user-claim'
import { UserRole } from './user-role'
import { ID, Field } from '@nestjs/graphql'
import { NavigationProperty, UseDynamicResolvers } from 'nestjs-prisma-dynamic-resolvers'

@ObjectType()
@UseDynamicResolvers({ moduleName: 'user' })
export class User {
  @Field(() => ID)
  id!: string

  @Field()
  name!: string

  @Field()
  surname!: string

  @Field(() => [ UserRole ], {
    defaultValue: []
  })
  @NavigationProperty({ target: UserRole })
  roles: UserRole[] = []

  @Field(() => [ UserRole ], {
    defaultValue: []
  })
  @NavigationProperty({ target: UserClaim })
  claims: UserClaim[] = []
}

And assume your UserRole class also have UserClaims:

// user-role.ts

import { UserClaim } from './user-claim'
import { ID, Field } from '@nestjs/graphql'
import { NavigationProperty, UseDynamicResolvers } from 'nestjs-prisma-dynamic-resolvers'

@ObjectType()
@UseDynamicResolvers({ moduleName: 'user' })
export class UserRole {
  @Field(() => ID)
  id!: string

  @Field()
  name!: string

  @Field(() => [ UserClaim ], {
    defaultValue: []
  })
  claims: UserClaim[] = []
}

In another file importing these two circular classes:

// index.ts
import { UserClaim } from './user-claim'
import { UserRole } from './user-role'
import { registerNavigation } from 'nestjs-prisma-dynamic-resolvers'

registerNavigation({
  from: {
    source: UserRole,
    withProperty: 'claims',
  },
  to: {
    target: UserClaim,
    withProperty: 'roles',
  },
  relation: '*:*',
})

Now even with these recursively dependent, nested classes, the dynamic resolvers will still be generated from one model to another and the complex queries will still work.

Example GraphQL Query:

query { 
  allUsers { 
    id
    name
    surname

    claims {
      name
    }

    roles { 
      id
      name

      claims {
        id
        name
      }
    }
  }
}
