SOFA

Using objects instead of IDs

Simplify GraphQL object handling with Sofa. Learn how to ignore the default ID behavior and send entire objects using the ignore parameter. #GraphQL #Sofa

There are some cases where sending a full object makes more sense than passing only the ID. Sofa allows you to easily define where to ignore the default behavior:

api.use(
  '/api',
  useSofa({
    schema,
    ignore: ['Message.author'],
  })
);

Whenever Sofa tries to resolve an author of a message, instead of exposing an ID it will pass whole data.
