I'm writing my first schema and I'm wondering about the resolution of nested fields

for example { movies { name actors } } and I have a resolver for movies and one for actors ... but I was wondering if I need to know when I'm asking for only movies or for movies and actors to do a different query ....

also not sure when doing the actors resolver getting the id of the movie in order to run the query ...

@abarylko usually no, you would not need to know if you are asking for movies or for movies and actors

You can get that information if you need to (for performance reasons) bit that's well beyond what a beginner should care about

@hmaurer so how can I tell which actors I need to search for?

@abarylko the graphql resolver should take as parameter the “movie” object

so you can do a query based on that

@abarylko are you using Lacinia?

@hmaurer yes I am
