How to set Apollo's cacheControl Directive in Nestjs code-first - graphql

Question

I am trying to set a static cacheControl on some fields, as done here
From my understanding, I need to use a directive, so I used the following nest documentation to declare directives
So, I built a cacheControl directive, this is what my GraphQLModule.forRootAsync has in the buildSchemaOptions:
buildSchemaOptions: {
directives: [
new GraphQLDirective({
name: 'cacheControl',
locations: [
DirectiveLocation.FIELD_DEFINITION,
DirectiveLocation.OBJECT,
DirectiveLocation.INTERFACE,
DirectiveLocation.UNION
],
args: {
maxAge: { type: GraphQLInt },
scope: {
type: new GraphQLEnumType({
name: 'CacheControlScope',
values: {
PUBLIC: {
astNode: {
kind: 'EnumValueDefinition',
description: undefined,
name: {
kind: 'Name',
value: 'PUBLIC'
},
directives: []
}
},
PRIVATE: {
astNode: {
kind: 'EnumValueDefinition',
description: undefined,
name: {
kind: 'Name',
value: 'PRIVATE'
},
directives: []
}
}
}
})
},
inheritMaxAge: { type: GraphQLBoolean }
}
})
]
}
And it did create the directive in the schema:
directive #cacheControl(maxAge: Int, scope: CacheControlScope, inheritMaxAge: Boolean) on FIELD_DEFINITION | OBJECT | INTERFACE | UNION
enum CacheControlScope {
PUBLIC
PRIVATE
}
Now, I try to use it on my field declaration in my #ObjectType like so:
import { Directive, Field, Int, ObjectType } from '#nestjs/graphql'
#ObjectType('User')
export class User {
#Directive('#cacheControl(maxAge:60)')
#Field(() => Int)
id!: number
#Directive('#cacheControl(maxAge:60)')
#Field()
text!: string
}
But when doing some query to get all users, it does not seem to cache anything - and does not send a cache-control header and does the whole query each time.
I tried to do a transformer, but not sure how to implement caching for the resolvers.
What am I missing?
