Is it possible to use inheritance with GraphQL input types?



Something like that (this, of course, doesn't work with input types):



interface UserInputInterface 
firstName: String
lastName: String


input UserInput implements UserInputInterface
password: String!


input UserChangesInput implements UserInputInterface
id: ID!
password: String

    @LB2 unfortunately not, I'm keeping 2 separate types at the moment repeating properties.

  • Thanks! I'm trying to represent a boolean expression (much like SQL's WHERE clause), and without inheritance, it seems impossible to express an arbitrary boolean expression without possibility of syntax-matching nonsense. Bummer that it's not part of the language.

No, the spec does not allow input types to implement interfaces. And GraphQL type system in general does not define any form of inheritance. Even interfaces can not inherit other interfaces. The spec is intentionally constrained to stay simple. This means that you're stuck repeating fields across input types.



That said, depending on the way you construct your schema, you could build some kind of type transformer that appends the common fields programmatically based on some meta-data, e.g. a directive.
