Hello, I wanted to create an input object with an enum type and a default value but I can’t make it work.
My query
query GetStatuses {
statuses {
text
recipient {
nickname
nickname
}
sender {
nickname
}
}
}
And my resolver function head
def list_statuses(_, %{input: filters}, %{context: %{current_user: current_user}})
I am trying to start simple with one filter and add more filters later
# the types module
input_object :statuses_privacy do
field :privacy, :privacy
end
enum :privacy do
value :public
value :private
end
# in the query object
field :statuses, list_of(:status) do
arg :input, :statuses_privacy, default_value: :public
resolve &Statuses.list_statuses/3
end
This gives
Request: POST /graphql/graphiql
** (exit) an exception was raised:
** (Protocol.UndefinedError) protocol Enumerable not implemented for :public of type Atom. This protocol is implemented for the following type(s): Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Stream, Postgrex.Stream, DBConnection.Stream, DBConnection.PrepareStream, HashSet, Date.Range, MapSet, IO.Stream, Map, Function, List, HashDict, Stream, GenEvent.Stream, Range, File.Stream
# in the query object
field :statuses, list_of(:status) do
arg :input, :statuses_privacy, default_value: %{privacy: :public}
resolve &Statuses.list_statuses/3
end
This works for a query but when graphiql tries to fetch the schema I get again
Request: POST /graphql/graphiql
** (exit) an exception was raised:
** (Protocol.UndefinedError) protocol String.Chars not implemented for %{privacy: :public} of type Map.

end
enum :privacy do
value :public
value :private
end
# in the query object
field :statuses, list_of(:status) do
arg :input, :statuses_privacy
resolve &Statuses.list_statuses/3
end
This time the input map is not passed at all in the resolver
** (exit) an exception was raised:
** (FunctionClauseError) no function clause matching in TweetCloneWeb.Resolvers.Statuses.list_statuses/3

How can I have an input argument as a map with default values like this:
%{input: {privacy: :public}}
and default value set to :public?
