Apollo Server: pass arguments to nested resolvers

Question

My GraphQL query looks like this:

{
    p1: property(someArgs: \"some_value\") {
        id
        nestedField {
            id
            moreNestedField {

Please check this answer here on how to pass the arguments: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63300135/11497165

To simplify it, you can define your field type with args:

In your Type Definition

type Query{
  getCar(color: String): Car
  ... other queries
}

type Car{
  door(color: String): Door // <-- added args
  id: ID
  previousOwner(offset: Int, limit: Int): Owner // <-- added args
  ...
}

then, in your client query (from apollo client or your gql query):

query getCar(carId:'123'){
  door(color:'grey') // <-- add variable
  id
  previousOwner(offset: 3) // <-- added variable
  ... other queries
}

You should be able to access color in your child resolver arguments:

In your resolver:

Car{
  door(root,args,context){
   const color = args.color // <-- access your arguments here
  }
  previousOwner(root,args,context){
   const offset = args.offset // <-- access your arguments here
   const limit = args.limit // <-- access your arguments here
  }
  ...others
}

For your example:

it will be like this

{
    p1: property(someArgs: "some_value") { // <-- added variable
        id
        nestedField(someArgs: "some_value") { // <-- added variable
            id
            moreNestedField(offset: 5) {
                id
            }
        }
    }
}
