Support nodes shorthand in connections

[jasonkuhrt]

Perceived Problem

• relay connections spec can be verbose for clients

Ideas / Proposed Solution(s)

• a lot of benefit can be maintained but with less verbosity by dropping edges

  query {
    products(first: 100) {
      edges {
        node {
          name
        }
      }
    }
  }
  
  # Excerpt From: Marc-Andre Giroux. “Production Ready GraphQL.”
  

  to:

  query {
    products(first: 100) {
      nodes {
        name
      }
    }
  }
  
  # Excerpt From: Marc-Andre Giroux. “Production Ready GraphQL.”
  

• allow api authors to choose between three styles:

  1. nodes and edges
  2. just nodes
  3. just edges

Looks like an option to include the nodes field was added: https://nexus.js.org/docs/plugin-connection#including-a-nodes-field
