GraphQLError Schema validation while triggering a mutation - graphql-js

I am trying my hand at GraphQL and I seem to have run into a strange error.
Here is my mutation
const createNewTask = {
name: "AddATask",
description: "A mutation using which you can add a task to the todo list",
type: taskType,
args: {
taskName: {
type: new gql.GraphQLNonNull(gql.GraphQLString)
},
authorId: {
type: new gql.GraphQLNonNull(gql.GraphQLString)
}
},
async resolve(_, params) {
try {
const task = newTask(params.taskName);
return await task.save();
} catch (err) {
throw new Error(err);
}
}
};
Task type is as defined as follows
const taskType = new gql.GraphQLObjectType({
name: "task",
description: "GraphQL type for the Task object",
fields: () => {
return {
id: {
type: gql.GraphQLNonNull(gql.GraphQLID)
},
taskName: {
type: gql.GraphQLNonNull(gql.GraphQLString)
},
taskDone: {
type: gql.GraphQLNonNull(gql.GraphQLBoolean)
},
authorId: {
type: gql.GraphQLNonNull(gql.GraphQLString)
}
}
}
});
I am trying to add a task using the graphiql playground.
mutation {
addTask(taskName: "Get something", authorId: "5cb8c2371ada735a84ec8403") {
id
taskName
taskDone
authorId
}
}
When I make this query I get the following error
"ValidationError: authorId: Path `authorId` is required."
But when I remove the authorId field from the mutation code and send over a mutation without the authorId in it, I get this error
"Unknown argument \"authorId\" on field \"addTask\" of type \"Mutation\"."
So this proves that the authorId is available is in the request. I debugged the same on vscode and can see the value. I can't seem to figure out what is wrong.

I figured out what the error was. The erro was actually caused by my mongoose schema and not by graphql schema.
const taskSchema = new Schema(
{
taskName: {
type: String,
required: true
},
taskDone: {
type: Boolean,
required: true
},
authorId: {
type: mongoose.Types.ObjectId,
required: true
}
},
{
collection: "tasks"
}
);
But what is wierd is that the final error message has no indication that it was the mongoose schema validation failure. And the error states that it is a graphql error hence the confusion. Hope it helps someone.

Recursive mongoose schema does not result in correct object stores

I have a recursive model schema defined in a schema which uses the add() method in the Schema class to incrementally build the schema. It seems to build the paths correctly as shown when I print out the paths. However, when I use the Model defined to store the object in the database, it is missing the inner BNode. Here is a definition of the schema:
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
const BNodeSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
bValue: { type: [Number] },
id: String,
})
const RValue = {
rId: String,
value: Number
}
const ANodeSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
type: {
id: String,
rValues: {
type: Map,
of: RValue
},
}
})
const QuestSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
type: {
_id: { type: String, },
aNode: ANodeSchema,
bNodes: [BNodeSchema],
url: {
type: String
},
id: {
type: String
}
},
},
{ id: false }
)
ANodeSchema.add({ quest: QuestSchema });
const QuestNodeSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
_id: { type: String, unique: true },
quests: { type: [QuestSchema] },
}, {
id: false
})
export const QuestModel = mongoose.model('QuestModel', QuestNodeSchema);
QuestNodeSchema.eachPath(function(path:any) {
console.log(path);
});
{
_id: 12223,
quests:[
{
id: 'Quest-111-111' ,
aNode: {
id: 'A222222',
rValues: {
rId: 'RR1222',
value: 44422
},
quest:{
url: 'https://deptio-opcom',
id: '22222-QST',
bNodes:[{
bValue: 'B22190',
value: 22085
}]
}
}
}
]
}
I have included a sample of the json I am storing in the database. I use a class, not included for brevity to create the equivalent JSON object in the final format to be stored. My feeling is that there is something not quite right with my schema definition. I would be most grateful if someone could help me figure out what I am missing in my definition. Thanks a lot

GraphQL Mongoose: Cast to ObjectId failed for value

I have the following resolver for GraphQL:
const Post = require("../../models/Post");
module.exports = {
getAllActivePosts: async (userId) => {
try {
const posts = await Post.find({
userId: userId
})
.select(["name", "createdAt"])
.populate("posts", ["name", "createdAt"]);
return posts;
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
throw err;
}
},
};
which tries to get all active posts by the ID of the user from the Post model:
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const PostSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
userId: {
type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: "User",
required: true,
},
content: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
createdAt: {
type: Date,
required: true,
}
});
module.exports = Post = mongoose.model("Post", PostSchema);
Here's the GraphQL Schema:
const { buildSchema } = require('graphql');
module.exports = buildSchema(`
type User {
_id: MongoId!
email: String!
password: String
}
type Post {
_id: MongoId!
userId: MongoId!
content: String!
createdAt: String!
}
scalar MongoId
input LoginInput {
email: String!
password: String!
}
type RootQuery {
login(email: String!, password: String!): AuthData!
getAllActivePosts(userId: MongoId!): [Post]
}
type RootMutation {
createUser(loginInput: LoginInput): AuthData!
}
schema {
query: RootQuery
mutation: RootMutation
}
`);
... and the GraphQL query I'm running in GraphiQL:
{
getAllActivePosts(userId: "5fbfc92312b90071179a160f") {
name
createdAt
}
}
For this, the result of the query is:
{
"errors": [
{
"message": "Cast to ObjectId failed for value \"{ userId: '5fbfc92312b90071179a160f' }\" at path \"userId\" for model \"Post\"",
"locations": [
{
"line": 2,
"column": 3
}
],
"path": [
"getAllActivePosts"
]
}
],
"data": {
"getAllActivePosts": null
}
}
Searched here for similar issues, tried wrapping userId in ObjectId, but nothing helped. What am I missing here?
I was go through this problem once a year ago with no solution till i get main concept of graphql.
Here you are passing string
{
getAllActivePosts(userId: "5fbfc92312b90071179a160f") {
name
createdAt
}
}
and graphql expecting to have mongoose.Types.ObjectId
getAllActivePosts(userId: MongoId!): [Post]
You need to do sync like
getAllActivePosts(userId: mongoose.Types.ObjectId("5fbfc92312b90071179a160f")) {
But using above way you are not eligible for run query in graphiQL becuse there is no mongoose defined.
type RootQuery {
login(email: String!, password: String!): AuthData!
getAllActivePosts(userId: String!): [Post]
}
Better solution is use userId input as string and then validate on your resolver function like
getAllActivePosts: async ({ userId }) => {
try {
if(mongoose.Types.ObjectId.isValid(userId)) {
const posts = await Post.find({
userId: userId
})
.select(["name", "createdAt"])
.populate("posts", ["name", "createdAt"]);
// you can;t return null you need to return array
return posts ? posts : []
} else {
// if mongoose id is wrong
return []
}
} catch(error) {
// it is better to throw error return blank array to complete flow
throw error
}
}
Turned out, I was using userId directly, whereas I should've used args.userId. The proper resolver below:
module.exports = {
getAllActivePosts: async (args) => {
try {
const posts = await Post.find({
userId: args.userId
})
.select(["name", "createdAt"])
.populate("posts", ["name", "createdAt"]);
return posts;
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
throw err;
}
},
};
and for the schema:
getAllActivePosts(userId: String!): [Post]

graphql query return object with null id

Graphql return Oject with null id.
with mongodb.
It looks strange to me.
If I delete new GraphQLNonNull() on MailType id,
It works with id: null, another fields working fine.
const MailType = new GraphQLObjectType({
name: 'Mail',
fields: () => ({
id: { type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLID), },
...
})
const Query = {
mails: {
type: new GraphQLList(MailType),
args: {
senderId: { type: GraphQLID },
isOffline: { type: GraphQLBoolean },
},
async resolve(root, args, req, ctx) {
if (args.isOffline === false) {
let a = await model.aggregate([
{ $match: { isOffline: false } },
]);
let b = await model.find({ isOffline: false });
console.log(JSON.stringify(a) == JSON.Stringify(b)) /// return true
return a // error
return b // working
}
return model.find({senderId: args.senderId});
}
}
}
// with a
"errors": [
{
"message": "Cannot return null for non-nullable field Mail.id."
}]
I am in trouble for 2 hours but I do not get the answer.
Can anybody help me?
You probably have a mistake in your mongodb schema, not in graphQl.
make sure you did not define you id by id key, it should be _id.
for example if you are using mongoose it can be something like this:
const MailSchema = new Schema({
_id: {
type: String,
unique: true,
},
....
....
});

The method findOneAndUpdate change the id of my element in a array

I'm working with mongoDB, mongoose and graphQL. I'm trying to make an update in my DB.
I'm doing an update in an array called phones, the changes work perfectly, the only problem is that when the update ends, the value of the objectId changes.
// Models -> Schema Organization
const organizationSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: String,
address: String,
phones: [
{
number: Number,
prefix: Number
}
],
email: String
})
// Types -> Organization
type Response {
success: Boolean!
token: String
errors: [Error]
}
type Error {
path: String!
message: String!
}
input iOrganization {
_id: ID
arrID: ID
address: String
email: String
number: Int
prefix: Int
name: String
}
type Mutation {
updateOrgGeneric(iOrg: iOrganization): Response!
}
// Resolvers -> Organization (1st way)
Mutation: {
updateOrgGeneric: (parent, args, {models}) => {
return models.Organization.findOneAndUpdate(
{ "_id": args.iOrg._id, "phones._id": args.iOrg.arrID },
{ $set: { "phones.$": { number: args.iOrg.number, prefix: args.iOrg.prefix }} },
{new: true}
)
.then((resp) => {
console.log(resp);
return {
success: true,
errors: []
}
})
.catch((error) => {
return {
success: false,
errors: error
};
})
},
}
// Resolvers -> Organization (2nd way)
Mutation: {
updateOrgGeneric: (parent, args, {models}) => {
return models.Organization.findOneAndUpdate(
{ "_id": args.iOrg._id },
{ $set: { "phones.$[arr]": { number: args.iOrg.number, prefix: args.iOrg.prefix }} },
{new: true}
{ arrayFilters:[{ "arr._id": mongoose.Types.ObjectId(args.iOrg.arrID) }], new: true}
)
.then((resp) => {
console.log(resp);
return {
success: true,
errors: []
}
})
.catch((error) => {
return {
success: false,
errors: error
};
})
}
}
// Playground (http://localhost:5000/graphql)
mutation {
updateOrgGeneric(
iOrg: {
_id: "5bdbee1b794b972bc8562aeb"
arrID: "5bdcea7cae88be098c020b19"
number: 85239,
prefix: 862
}
){
success
errors {
path
message
}
}
}
Both _id, as arrID, exist in the BD.
In the playground example the initial arrID was: _id:ObjectId("5bdcea7cae88be098c020b19"), but after the update is another, example: _id:ObjectId("5bdcec0a2ab78533b4bd1d98"). What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!
Mongodb is a nosql database which means that every object in the database should consist of an Id and revision values. Once an update occurs the revision value changes as part of the update process to implement the changes made to the data object. Since your data object don't have the revision value then the id value changes. Because it is unique. Now I'm no expert with mongo but you should check the docs on how to persist data objects and change accordingly
In case anyone lands here (despite this being old post), the problem probably lies in trying to update the entire phones object, of which the overwritten _id is a part. Since there's a model defined for phonesin mongoose, it will try to create a new _id any time an entire new phones object is created.
Someone who wanted to keep the same id would need to $set only the fields they want to change, rather than the entire object. So
{ $set: { "phones.$[arr]": { number: args.iOrg.number, prefix: args.iOrg.prefix }} }
could be changed to
{ $set: { "phones.$[arr].number": args.iOrg.number, "phones.$[arr].prefix": args.iOrg.prefix } }

mongodb: only update document if is not updated

I have this function. Allow take a service only is not taken:
is taken only if the available param is true.
function takeService(req, res) {
var serviceId = req.params.id;
var driverId = req.body.driverId;
Service.findById(serviceId, (err, service) =>{
if (!err) {
if (!service) {
res.status(404).send({message: 'Not found'});
} else {
if (service.available === false ) {
res.status(409).send({message: 'The service is taken'});
} else {
Service.findByIdAndUpdate(serviceId, {
driverId,
status: 1,
available: false
}, (err, serviceUpdated) =>{
if (!err && serviceUpdated) {
res.status(200).send({message: "tomado"});
}
});
}
}
}
});
}
Schemas:
var ServiceSchema = Schema({
clientId: {
type: String,
ref: 'Client'
},
available: Boolean,
routeId: {
type: String,
ref: 'Route'
},
date: Date,
radius: Number,
driverId: {
type: String,
ref: 'Driver'
},
status: Number,
time: String,
createdTime: Number,
rateId: {
type: String,
ref: 'Rate'
}
});
var DriverSchema = Schema({
name: String,
surname: String,
username: String,
password: String,
status: { type: Number, default: 0 },
oneSignalId: String,
plate: String,
make: String,
year: String,
model: String,
groupId: [{
type: String,
ref: 'DriverGroup'
}],
unit: String,
telephone: String
});
The problem is when two devices call to this function, in some cases both find the document and check if is available and then both update the same document. I am looking a some validation in the schema for autocheck this property.
If I understand the problem correctly, the main issue is that two devices may think that a service is still available.
The ultimate cause of this is that there's a race condition between findById and findByIdAndUpdate: between those two calls, there's a window of time in which another request can change the document in the database.
To fix this, you can use the atomic findAndModify command, which Mongoose exposes as (amongst others) Model#findOneAndUpdate.
Your code would become something like this:
function takeService(req, res) {
var serviceId = req.params.id;
var driverId = req.body.driverId;
Service.findOneAndUpdate({
_id : serviceId,
available : true
}, {
driverId : driverId,
status : 1,
available : false,
}, (err, service) => {
if (err) {
return res.status(500);
} else if (! service) {
return res.status(409).send({message: 'The service is taken'});
} else {
return res.status(200).send({message: "tomado"});
}
});
}
There are a few differences with your original code that you should be aware of:
you can't distinguish between a service not existing (invalid/unknown serviceId) and a service that is not available anymore; in both cases, the update will yield no result and a 409 response is sent back;
findOneAndUpdate will return the old document, before it was updated. If you want to receive the updated document, pass the new option in the query:
Service.findOneAndUpdate({ ... }, { ... }, { new : true }, (err, service) => { ... })
I added an error handler in there, that sends back a 500 ("Internal Server Error") response.
