keyArgs: array of objects support

[younes0]

There is not support array of objects as keyArgs.

With variables

variables: {
  limit: 12,
  offset: 0
  myArray: [
     { myFirst: false, mySecond: true },
     { myFirst: true, mySecond: false },
  ]
}

The following field policies do not work

myThings: offsetLimitPagination(["myArray", ["myFirst", "mySecond"]]),
// or
myThings: offsetLimitPagination(["myArray", [["myFirst", "mySecond"]]]),

This question/feature was already asked but didn't get any answer: #7314 (comment)

In such a complex case, you can use a keyArgs function.

We aim to provide functionality for all the common use cases, but once it gets complex like this, it's impossible for us to find a notation that fits everyone - and if we could find one, it would add significant bundle size as a burden to everyone, including those who would not be needing it.

In that case, it's better (and probably much simpler to use for you) to implement this in userland.

PS It seems that we do have that functionality in fact, I just had never encountered it. I'm investigating.

PS2: Please excuse the back-and-forth - I stand with my initial answer. We do have a feature like that, but only for objects, not arrays. In the array case, please provide your own function.

@phryneas thanks for your feedback. I will provide then a working example here so it can be used as reference for people having the same usecase.

PS: I noticed that the offsetLimitPagination function doesn't accept keyArgs function.

@younes0 The KeyArgs type there includes KeyArgsFunction. What exactly are you seeing?

[younes0]

@phryneas my bad, i was wrong.

[younes0]

specifying keyArgs function doesn't help: changing helpers that extract the key/value would do the work but I'm struggling very much to understand how the parsing code works.

I will change my GraphQL schema in the end to avoid nested object in arrays.

[younes0]

I changed my GraphQL schema to accept a (JSON) string value.
The JSON is then parsed on the server side.
Not ideal but works flawlessly: in my case i had an array of objects contains dates.
