Add level and Parent fields for Categories query

Add level and Parent fields for Categories query. Especially helpful when creating category navigations

[markhuot]

This should already be possible. Check out,

{
  categories(level:1, ancestorOf:123) {
    #...
  }
}

In the above level is the depth and ancestor takes the entry ID of the parent you're looking for.

In the entries query this is possible, that would be cool for categories too, like:

{
  categories(groupId: 1) {
    id
    title
    level
    parent {
      id 
    }
  }
}

If we can retrieve category groups like this it's easy to build nested navigations in js because we know all the relationships we need, without relying on nesting.

Ah, I see! These new fields are implemented on dev-master. I'll leave this ticket open until it gets a stable release.

{
  category {
    id
    title
    parent {
      id
    }
    children {
      id
    }
    next { id }
    nextSibling { id }
    prev { id }
    prevSibling { id }
  }
}

I will give it try, i switched to dev-master the last day, querys on the dev master took up to 8 Seconds on our server. Is there something to consider when switching the branch?

[markhuot]

Nope, nothing performance wise should have changed. between 1.1.0 and dev-master. You will want to make sure devMode is false though otherwise GraphQL will spend a bunch of time analyzing your schema on each request. That's been there for a while though so it shouldn't vary by branch.

will check that and open a new issue if the problem resides.Am 07.09.2018 20:50 schrieb Mark Huot <[email protected]>:Nope, nothing performance wise should have changed. between 1.1.0 and dev-master.

I'm interested in whether this is planned for a release. It would really simplify some things I'm currently working on over the coming weeks and I'd be curious to know about progress.

[mashema]

Same here, I'm also waiting, do you have a release date?

Closing this issue. The fix is included in version 1.2.1.
