@searchable transforms and connections

Is there a way to get the @searchable to also work with @connection. Say I have these models.

type Post @model @searchable {
    id: ID!
    text: String
    votes: [Vote] @connection(name: "PostVotes")
}

type Vote @model @searchable {
    id: ID!
    vote: Int!
    post: Post! @connection(name: "PostVotes")
}

The generated searchVotes query would then only be able to filter on id and vote. But say I want to get all the votes for a certain postId.

Likewise the ListVotes query doesn’t either provide a filter on the post connection.

So how would I in this case go about to get all the Votes on a certain post?

Hey y’all 👋 I wanted to follow-up on this one and show how this is now possible with GraphQL Transformer v2 and the new relational directives! Using the following schema we will be able to create a Post, create a Vote linked to the Post, then run a search query by post ID.

type Post @model @searchable {
  id: ID!
  text: String
  votes: [Vote] @hasMany
}

type Vote @model @searchable {
  id: ID!
  vote: Int!
  post: Post!
}

Then we can execute the following in order to ultimately search Votes by Post ID

mutation CREATE_POST {
  createPost(input: {text: "my first post"}) {
    id
  }
}

mutation CREATE_VOTE {
  createVote(input: {vote: 10, postVotesId: "a7173361-d420-44fd-abb9-88b26f7a506b"}) {
    id
  }
}

query SEARCH_BY_ID {
  searchVotes(filter: {postVotesId: {eq: "a7173361-d420-44fd-abb9-88b26f7a506b"}}) {
    items {
      id
      postVotesId
      vote
    }
  }
}

Where the search query will return:

{
  "data": {
    "searchVotes": {
      "items": [
        {
          "id": "34caeece-2530-452c-8965-0f3d097b545c",
          "postVotesId": "a7173361-d420-44fd-abb9-88b26f7a506b",
          "vote": 10
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Closing issue 🙂 if you feel this does not quite cover your use case please reply back to this thread and we can re-open to investigate further!
