Handle dictionary in GraphQL type
I have the following complex/nested metrics dictionary in my Database and I would like to pass this down to my frontend through my GraphQL Session type. However, I'm not sure how to go about modelling this Dictionary since GraphQL doesn't provide a Dictionary type.
// structure of metrics
metrics
[task: string]:
[balanceKey: string]:
metricName1: float,
metricName2: float,
type Session
metrics: ???
I'm afraid the only option I have is to create the below nested structure of objects. Is this the only way to surface the data or does anyone have a better suggestion or structure in mind. Greatly appreciate the help :)
type Session
tasks: [Task]
type Tasks
name: String
balanceKeys: [BalanceKey]
type BalanceKey
name: String
metrics: [Metric]
type Metric
name: String
value: Float

You have to use the explained option & that is the only way to create custom types.
