I'm currently trying GraphQL with NodeJS and I don't know, why this error occurs with the following query:
{ library{ name, user { name email } } }
I am not sure if the type
of my resolveLibrary
is right, because at any example I had a look at they used new GraphQL.GraphQLList()
, but in my case I really want to return a single user object, not an array of users.
My code:
const GraphQL = require('graphql'); const DB = require('../database/db'); const user = require('./user').type; const library = new GraphQL.GraphQLObjectType({ name: 'library', description: `This represents a user's library`, fields: () => { return { name: { type: GraphQL.GraphQLString, resolve(library) { return library.name; } }, user: { type: user, resolve(library) { console.log(library.user); return library.user } } } } }); const resolveLibrary = { type: library, resolve(root) { return { name: 'My fancy library', user: { name: 'User name', email: { email: '[email protected]' } } } } } module.exports = resolveLibrary;
Error:
Error: Expected Iterable, but did not find one for field library.user.
So my library
schema provides a user
field which returns the right data (the console.log is called).
I ran into this problem as well. It appears that what you're returning from your resolver doesn't match the return type in your schema.
Specifically for the error message Expected Iterable, but did not find one for field library.user.
, your schema expects an array(Iterable) but you aren't returning an array in your resolver
I had this in my schema.js:
login(email: String, password: String): [SuccessfulLogin]
I changed that to:
login(email: String, password: String): SuccessfulLogin
Notice the square brackets around "SuccessfulLogin". It's up to you whether you want to update the resolver return type or update the schema's expectations
I guess your user
is an instance of GraphQLList
that is why the field user is expecting to resolve to an iterable object.
