Cosmos DB: Nested JSON object - GraphQL schema

[vrm535]

Hi Team:

I am trying to create DAB layer for my backend CosmosDB. Item collection is a nested JSON object. I created the dab-configuration file with just one entity that is employee and created the graphql schema as shown below.

When I am validating/starting the application, I am seeing the error as Azure.DataApiBuilder.Service.Exceptions.DataApiBuilderException: The entity 'Contact' was not found in the
runtime config.

Could you please guide me here how to deal with this scenario.

GraphQL- schema

type Address {
address1: String
address2: String
city: String
state: Sting
}

type Phone {
home: String
office: String
}

type Contact {
address: Address
phone: Phone
}

type Employee @model {
firstName: String
lastName: String
middleName: String
contact: Contact
}

I had the similar issue today too, and tried the following which seemed to work. Basically it seems, you will need to add each entity, but point them at the same source:

dab add Employee --source "employees" --permissions "anonymous:*"
dab add Contact --source "employees" --permissions "anonymous:*"

It was this file that led me to this.

Good luck 🙂
