Excluding Fields

There are two ways to ensure the GraphQL schema generation omits fields when using Kotlin reflection:

  • The first is by marking the field as non-public scope (private, protected, internal)
  • The second method is by annotating the field with @GraphQLIgnore.
class SimpleQuery {
@GraphQLIgnore
fun notPartOfSchema() = "ignore me!"

private fun privateFunctionsAreNotVisible() = "ignored private function"

fun doSomething(value: Int): Boolean = true
}

The above query would produce the following GraphQL schema:

type Query {
doSomething(value: Int!): Boolean!
}

Note that the public method notPartOfSchema is not included in the schema.
