Best Practice Using Batch loader on Graphql 1.8.11

[im-not-a-robot]

My code for batch loader :

BatchLoader.for(object.id).batch(default_value: []) do |province_ids, loader|
    City.where(province_id: province_ids).each do |city|
         loader.call(city.province_id) { |data| data << city }
     end
end

Result :

Province Load (0.7ms)  SELECT "provinces".* FROM "provinces"
↳ app/controllers/graphql_controller.rb:11
City Load (0.5ms)  SELECT "cities".* FROM "cities" WHERE "cities"."province_id" = $1  [["province_id", 1]]
↳ app/graphql/types/province_type.rb:21
 City Load (1.1ms)  SELECT "cities".* FROM "cities" WHERE "cities"."province_id" = $1  [["province_id", 2]]
↳ app/graphql/types/province_type.rb:21
City Load (0.5ms)  SELECT "cities".* FROM "cities" WHERE "cities"."province_id" = $1  [["province_id", 3]]

Here's my gemfile :

source 'https://rubygems.org'
git_source(:github) { |repo| "https://github.com/#{repo}.git" }

ruby '2.4.5'

# Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'
gem 'rails', '~> 5.2.1'
# Use sqlite3 as the database for Active Record
# gem 'sqlite3'
# Use postgresql as the database for Active Record
gem 'pg'
# Use Puma as the app server
gem 'puma', '~> 3.11'
# Build JSON APIs with ease. Read more: https://github.com/rails/jbuilder

# Use Redis adapter to run Action Cable in production
# gem 'redis', '~> 4.0'
# Use ActiveModel has_secure_password
# gem 'bcrypt', '~> 3.1.7'

# Use ActiveStorage variant

# Use Capistrano for deployment

# Reduces boot times through caching; required in config/boot.rb
gem 'bootsnap', '>= 1.1.0', require: false

# Use Rack CORS for handling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), making cross-origin AJAX possible

group :development, :test do
  # Call 'byebug' anywhere in the code to stop execution and get a debugger console
  gem 'byebug', platforms: [:mri, :mingw, :x64_mingw]
end

group :development do
  gem 'listen', '>= 3.0.5', '< 3.2'
  # Spring speeds up development by keeping your application running in the background. Read more: https://github.com/rails/spring

end


# Windows does not include zoneinfo files, so bundle the tzinfo-data gem
gem 'tzinfo-data', platforms: [:mingw, :mswin, :x64_mingw, :jruby]
gem 'graphql'

gem 'batch-loader'

Im already use your quick fix on this comment
#22 (comment)
It can solved this problem.

The other solution :
rmosolgo/graphql-ruby#1778 (comment)
But it must make scope attribute to false

Is there best practice to solve this problem ?
Thank you

Hi @im-not-a-robot!

Did you add use BatchLoader::GraphQL to your schema?

It should work without scope: false and any manual wrapping #22 (comment). Here is the test from the current master, which uses version 1.8.11 in the build:

batch-loader/spec/graphql_spec.rb

Lines 4 to 28 in a726994

	it 'resolves BatchLoader fields lazily' do
	user1 = User.save(id: "1")
	user2 = User.save(id: "2")
	Post.save(user_id: user1.id)
	Post.save(user_id: user2.id)
	query = <<~QUERY
	{
	posts {
	user { id }
	userId
	}
	}
	QUERY
	expect(User).to receive(:where).with(id: ["1", "2"]).once.and_call_original
	result = GraphqlSchema.execute(query)
	expect(result['data']).to eq({
	'posts' => [
	{'user' => {'id' => "1"}, "userId" => 1},
	{'user' => {'id' => "2"}, "userId" => 2}
	]
	})
	end

Yes im already add use BatchLoader::GraphQLto my schema.
I dont know why when im using make new rails project with new ruby version (2.4.5) and new graphql version (1.8.11), batch loader not work without scope: false or manual wrapping.

May if you want to see the issue, i can send you the project.

[exAspArk]

@im-not-a-robot yes, please 🙏 If you can send me the project (e.g. a github repo), that'll save me some time.

Hello,

Currently having the same problem above and the scope: false fixed my issue as well.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.

Hello @exAspArk
Have you try that project?

[exAspArk]

Looking into it now

[exAspArk]

@im-not-a-robot unfortunately, I couldn't run your rails example app. Something is wrong with a DB: partially pg, partially sqlite, no migrations, no seed data, etc.

I created a new very basic Rails app which should be relatively simple to run https://github.com/exAspArk/batch-loader-graphql. I use graphql ruby gem version 1.8.13 with the latest batch-loader version 1.2.2, and I can't reproduce it:

Please let me know if you can reproduce it with that rails app. Maybe the latest graphql ruby gem versions fixed compatibility again.

@exAspArk Sorry for the problem. I'm already update the project, please check it again. Thank you.
Note:

1. Im using postgresql with default username password
2. Im already add some data to database from seeds file
3. Im already update gemfile

[exAspArk]

@im-not-a-robot awesome, thank you!

Could you please try these changes:

# Gemfile
gem 'batch-loader', github: 'exAspArk/batch-loader', branch: 'graphql'

You'd need to replace BatchLoader.for with BatchLoader::GraphQL.for to make it actually batch requests with the latest graphql versions. For example:

class PostType < GraphQL::Schema::Object
  field :user, UserType, null: false

  def user
    BatchLoader::GraphQL.for(object.user_id).batch do |user_ids, loader|
      User.where(id: user_ids).each { |user| loader.call(user.id, user) }
    end
  end
end

I will write more details on the issue later.

Yeah its works well. Thank you !
