extra params for dataloader function

[volbrene]

Hello, is it possible to append in the loadMany and load method a "optional" parameter? I need this for add a language code to the dataloader function, because there I need it.

Or what i the best way to do this?

Thanks

I don't believe that would fit with the design of dataloader. The intention is that you already have an ID that ties to a specific value in some data store. Without knowing your data model, it's hard to suggest how to go about a solution. If you are just looking to cache some response, a simple memory cache may be a better solution. Otherwise, maybe you can do some filtering logic once you get the response back.

or you can pass your region as part of the key to the DataLoader and implement a custom cacheKeyFn.

I am also interested in this, my use case is that I'm trying to prevent overfetching fields from my db, and in regular resolvers I can extract the needed fields from the request.

I can achieve this with regular resolvers but since the db call is in the dataloader I need to find a way to pass those required fields.

Any advice? I might just fork if I have no other choice

I resolved this by using an object for data loader key like {'id': 1, 'param1': 'val1', 'param2': 'val2'} instead of just id's. When you do this make sure you overwrite your "cacheKeyFn"

/**

• Default key => key. Produces cache key for a given load key. Useful
• when objects are keys and two objects should be considered equivalent. */ cacheKeyFn?: (key: K) => C,

Good luck.
