Followed GraphQL tutorial / Resolver object to query MySQL DB fails - graphql

Question

Developing entirely local, I followed the tutorial here: https://scotch.io/tutorials/super-simple-graphql-with-node#toc-creating-the-graphql-server
Hardly any modification, only to restrict the focus to a "product" table. No "User" or "Recipe" table.
It appears the only issue I have now is retrieving the data from the MySQL DB.
Of course I've Googled and compared tutorials extensively. I've been through the code quite a bit as well to the point it's getting blurry.
If I change the "return" to {"name":"test"}, the data passes through to my local GraphQL dashboard perfectly.
models/index.js
'use strict';
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const Sequelize = require('sequelize');
const basename = path.basename(__filename);
const env = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development';
const config = require(__dirname + '/../config/config.json')[env];
const db = {};
let sequelize;
if (config.use_env_variable) {
sequelize = new Sequelize(process.env[config.use_env_variable], config);
} else {
sequelize = new Sequelize(config.database, config.username, config.password, config);
}
fs.readdirSync(__dirname).filter(file => {
return (file.indexOf('.') !== 0) && (file !== basename) && (file.slice(-3) === '.js');
}).forEach(file => {
const model = sequelize['import'](path.join(__dirname, file));
db[model.name] = model;
}); //console.log(db); Object.keys(db).forEach(modelName => { if (db[modelName].associate) { db[modelName].associate(db); } }); db.sequelize = sequelize; db.Sequelize = Sequelize;
module.exports = db;
'use strict';
module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
const Product = sequelize.define('Product', {
name: DataTypes.STRING,
urlWordRef: DataTypes.STRING,
seoTitle: DataTypes.STRING,
seoDescription: DataTypes.STRING,
standardEquipment: DataTypes.STRING,
technicalSpecs: DataTypes.STRING
}, {});
Product.associate = function(models) {
// associations can be defined here
//Product.hasMany(models.RefProductOptions)
};
return Product;
};
// src/resolvers.js
const resolvers = {
Query: {
async products (root, { id }, { models }) {
return models.Products.findById(id) // *** THE LINE OF CODE WHICH FAILS ***
return {"name":"test"} // ** SUBSTITUTING THE ABOVE LINE WITH THIS - SUCCESS! ***
}
}
}
module.exports = resolvers
// src/schema.js
const { gql } = require('apollo-server')
const typeDefs = gql `
type Products {
id: Int!
name: String
urlWordRef: String
seoTitle: String
seoDescription: String
standardEquipment: String
technicalSpecs: String
}
type Query {
products(id: Int!): Products
}
`;
module.exports = typeDefs
// src/index.js
const { ApolloServer } = require('apollo-server')
const typeDefs = require('./schema')
const resolvers = require('./resolvers')
const models = require('../models')
const server = new ApolloServer({
typeDefs,
resolvers,
context: { models }
})
server.listen({port: 4000}).then(({ url }) => console.log('Server is running on localhost:4000'))
GraphQL query via the dashboard:
{
products(id: 1) {
name
}
}
I would expect that I can pass the id via the noted GRaphQL query above and get the correct table row result.
Alas, I'm ready to start coding with my forehead!
