GraphQ...:Union(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

GraphQL::Type::Union — bestie, it's literally the GraphQL union type 💅 this is the GraphQL::Type::Union page from your friendly neighbourhood User Contributed Perl Documentation, and we're gonna make unions make sense, no cap 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the whole vibe, copy-paste ready:

use GraphQL::Type::Union;
my $union_type = GraphQL::Type::Union->new(
  name => 'Union',
  types => [ $type1, $type2 ],
  resolve_type => sub {
    return $type1 if ref $_[0] eq 'Type1';
    return $type2 if ref $_[0] eq 'Type2';
  },
);

see how she eats? 🔥 you hand her a name, a lil types array, and a resolve_type sub that looks at a value and decides which type it belongs to. iconic behaviour honestly.

---

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

she inherits name and description straight from GraphQL::Type — those are the family genes 💖

💜 types

a thunked array-ref of GraphQL::Type::Object objects. yes bestie, thunked — she'll call it when she's good and ready, not a second sooner ⭐

💜 resolve_type

optional code-ref, lowkey the main character here 👑 you feed her a value, she hands back a GraphQL type object for it. simple as.

but — and listen — if you don't give her one? she falls back on her possible type objects having a provided is_type_of. so like, either bring your own resolver or make sure your types can identify themselves. pick a lane, both work 🦋

---

🌈 METHODS 🌈

🍓 get_types

returns a list of GraphQL::Type::Objects of which the object is a union — and yeah, she runs validation while she's at it, because she's not about to let you ship something broken, fr fr 💀
