Shortly after I started to work with GraphQL Twig contrib I've realized that the shape of GraphQl query results does not allign as well with my components. I needed to re-shape the GraphQL query result to fit my structure (remove some nested paths).
The best solution I was able to come with is to alter GraphQL result data in GraphQLTemplateTrait.php (https://git.drupalcode.org/project/graphql_twig/blob/8.x-1.x/src/GraphQL...) just before they are sent over to the template itself. Re-shaping the PHP array seems to be simple enough and with some comments in each Twig template (to explain where and how the data are being shaped) should be obvious.
I will attach patch soon (finishing some testing).
What I've tried before I settled down with the solution: "alter GraphQL result data via hook before rendering"
1.) Provide a _get and _root fields on every GraphQL object and Root to be able to:
a.) query deeper nested values with just one label
b.) create more level nested label
Basically trying to get PHP implementation of GraphQL Leveler: Controlling Shape In The Query https://www.fourkitchens.com/blog/development/graphql-leveler-controllin... (code: Graphql-leveler https://github.com/chasingmaxwell/graphql-leveler), but it turned out to be pretty difficult and could introduce unforseen bugs.
2.) Provide a markup into the GraphQL query to know how do we want to process it, remove and save the instructions and then process it before handing over to webonyx/graphql-php library (https://github.com/webonyx/graphql-php) and reshape it with collected instructions after getting GraphQL query result. It would mean to kind of rework the JavaScript solution: GraphQL Lodash https://github.com/APIs-guru/graphql-lodash. Basically just parsing the query by Parser from webonyx/graphql-php library (https://github.com/webonyx/graphql-php). Still quite difficult.
Realizations:
* Each GraphQL object/type has its resolver (most usually a callback/callable in form of function or method).
* I could use resolvers one by one to get a value for the whole nested path (I've got the feeling that the drupal/graphql implementation and webonyx/graphql-php library doesn't have a functionality decoupled enough to do this easily.
I'm happy to hear your ideas.
