Hi guys! I need help. I’m looking for a way to resolve a list_of(:object) in union.
Here’s what I did.
object :community_queries do
field :search, type: :search_result do
arg(:keyword, non_null(:string))
resolve(&CommunityResolver.search/3)
end
end
…
union :search_result do
description "A search result"
types [:person, :business]
resolve_type fn
%Person{}, _ -> list_of(:person)
%Business{}, _ -> list_of(:business)
end
end
In the code above. I tried to put a list_of(:person) in resolve_type and it returns error like this
invalid quoted expression: %Absinthe.Blueprint.TypeReference.List{errors: [], of_type: :person}
Then I tried this one
object :community_queries do
field :search, type: list_of(:search_result) do
arg(:keyword, non_null(:string))
resolve(&CommunityResolver.search/3)
end
end
…
union :search_result do
description "A search result"
types [:person, :business]
resolve_type fn
%Person{}, _ -> :person
%Business{}, _ -> :business
end
end
It returns
(BadMapError) expected a map, got: [%{name: "John"}, ...
I’ve also tried putting it in types like this but also got errors.
...
types [list_of(:person), list_of(:business)]
resolve_type fn
...
Is there a possible workaround for this?

@knvjun you should make the
field :searcha list eg:Then your union is just:

Thanks @benwilson512!
Another question, Is there a way to resolve a union type like this?
benwilson512
@knvjun If you are looking to redact values you’ll need to do that in the resolver which returns a
search_result, there is no way to attach a resolver directly to a union type.
