How to Resolve MongoDB Embedded Document Arrays in GraphQL with Node.js

When working with GraphQL and MongoDB, one common challenge developers face is fetching data from embedded document arrays, especially when using resolvers in Node.js. In this post, we will explore how to effectively resolve these queries to retrieve your desired data structure. Let's dive into the problem first and then address how you can solve it.

The Problem: Querying Nested Documents with GraphQL

In a recent scenario, a developer encountered an issue while trying to query embedded documents from the feedformula array in MongoDB. The initial GraphQL query that worked successfully was as follows:

This query returned the desired structure where each feed would include its formulas. However, when attempting to include name from the feeding object via this modified query:

The developer encountered an error stating:

This indicates that the GraphQL server couldn't resolve some of the feeding references because they were returning null, likely due to issues in how the references were managed in the schema or the resolver.

The Solution: Correcting the Resolvers and Schema

Through further investigation and modifications to both the GraphQL schema and the resolver, the problem was successfully resolved. Here’s how:

1. Adjust the Schema

The first step in resolving the issue was to reshape the database structure by clarifying the relationships between documents. The updated schema looked like this:

The major change here was ensuring the outstanding references were properly defined in the feeditemSchema.

2. Refining the Resolvers

The developer also refined the resolver functions to ensure that data was properly fetched and formatted. Here’s a breakdown of the new resolver:

3. Testing the Final Query

With the schema and resolvers updated, the GraphQL query was effectively restructured to include the feeding names successfully:

4. Conclusion

This revised query returned data correctly, confirming that the adjustments in the schema and resolvers resolved the null error issue.

Final Thoughts

Managing embedded documents in MongoDB when using GraphQL can be challenging, but with careful structuring of your schemas and resolvers, you can effectively resolve your queries. If you encounter similar issues, consider re-evaluating your data relationships and query structures.

By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can enhance your understanding of managing MongoDB embedded documents within GraphQL contexts and successfully get your application up and running efficiently.
