Node Model

Gatsby exposes its internal data store and query capabilities to GraphQL field resolvers on context.nodeModel.

Example usage

createResolvers({
  Query: {
    mood: {
      type: `String`,
      resolve(source, args, context, info) {
        const coffee = context.nodeModel.getAllNodes({ type: `Coffee` })
        if (!coffee.length) {
          return 😞
        }
        return 😊
      },
    },
  },
})

      Optional type of the node

  • pageDependencies Object

    Optional page dependency information.

    • path string

      The path of the page that depends on the retrieved nodes’ data

    • connectionType string

      Mark this dependency as a connection

Return value

Node | null

Get nodes from the store by IDs and optional type.

Parameters

  • args Object
    • ids string[]
