Interface and Union not working

[mastito03]

When I try to use interface or union, laravel server always die.

using interface

class Event extends BaseType
{
    
    public function interfaces() {
        return [
            GraphQL::type('BaseEvent') // error when calling this
        ];
    }

}

when using union

class UnionEvent extends UnionType
{
    
    public function tipes() {
        return [
            GraphQL::type('Event') // error when calling this
        ];
    }

}

I have try to debug and find out that call stack is looping infinitely.

Is there a fix for this? I'm having the same Problem.

try to specify keys for your types in config

Not working for us either. We are specifying types in our Interface.

Also running into this problem, does anyone have a fix?

Pinging @dmongeau and @phatshambler on this as I really would like to get it fixed, I can help submit a PR. It appears the issue has to do with laravels service container which explains why all the unit tests still pass.

Ran into this problem as well when declaring a union Type. Found out it kept looping when trying to get the name attribute. The workaround that I did was to add a name property to the class

use Folklore\GraphQL\Support\UnionType as BaseUnionType;
use GraphQL;

class ComponentUnionType extends BaseUnionType
{
    public $name = 'LayoutComponent'; //Add this here
 ... rest of the code

@fikri-marhan thanks for debugging and sharing, shouldn't this be declared in the $attributes property? If they're the same I can work on a PR to fix this.

I also find it weird that the exampleUnionType does not include the attribute yet the tests pass.

[fikri-marhan]

@tylergets in my class i defined it in the attributes as well but it didnt work. I suspect the call to getAttributes has a cyclic dependency issue

I didn’t dive deeper once i figured the workaround as it was acceptable to me. But let me know if I can help with anything

After hitting this issue too with my first union type, the TL;DR for basic definition is this:

class YourUnionType extends UnionType
{
  public $name = 'YourUnion';
  protected $attributes = [
    'name' => 'YourUnion,
  ];

  // ... types(), resolveType(), 

I too didn't dug deeper, the type will be named after the $name property. Seems that the value in $attributes['name'] is ignored (but still needs to be present).
