Class GraphQlArgumentBinder

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.graphql.data.GraphQlArgumentBinder

public class GraphQlArgumentBinder
extends Object

Binder that instantiates and populates a target Object to reflect the complete structure of the GraphQL arguments input map.

The input map is navigated recursively to create the full structure of the target type. Objects in the target type are created either through a primary, data constructor, in which case arguments are matched to constructor parameters by name, or through the default constructor, in which case arguments are matched to properties. Scalar values are converted, if necessary, through a ConversionService.

The binder does not stop at the first error, but rather accumulates as many errors as it can in a BindingResult. At the end it raises a BindException that contains all recorded errors along with the path at which each error occurred.

The binder supports Optional as a wrapper around any Object or scalar value in the target Object structure. In addition, it also supports ArgumentValue as a wrapper that indicates whether a given input argument was omitted rather than set to the "null" literal.

Method Details

bind

public @Nullable Object bind(DataFetchingEnvironment environment,
 @Nullable String name,
 ResolvableType targetType)
                      throws BindException

Create and populate an Object of the given target type, from a single GraphQL argument, or from the full GraphQL arguments map.

Parameters:

environment - for access to the arguments

name - the name of an argument, or null to use the full map

targetType - the type of Object to create

Returns:

the created Object, possibly wrapped in Optional or in ArgumentValue, or null if there is no value

Throws:

BindException - containing one or more accumulated errors from matching and/or converting arguments to the target Object

bind

public @Nullable Object bind(@Nullable Object rawValue,
 boolean isOmitted,
 ResolvableType targetType)
                      throws BindException

Variant of bind(DataFetchingEnvironment, String, ResolvableType) with a pre-extracted raw value to bind from.

Parameters:

rawValue - the raw argument value (Collection, Map, or scalar)

isOmitted - true if the argument was omitted from the input and false if it was provided, but possibly null

targetType - the type of Object to create

Throws:

BindException
