Collection types​

This section describes introspection of collection types.

Array​

Introspection of the schema::Array:

with module schema
select ObjectType {
    name,
    links: {
        name,
    },
    properties: {
        name,
    }
}
filter .name = 'schema::Array';

{
    Object {
        name: 'schema::Array',
        links: {
            Object { name: '__type__' },
            Object { name: 'element_type' }
        },
        properties: {
            Object { name: 'id' },
            Object { name: 'name' }
        }
    }
}

For a type with an array property, consider the following:

type User {
    required property name -> str;
    property favorites -> array<str>;
}

Introspection of the User with emphasis on properties:

with module schema
select ObjectType {
    name,
    properties: {
        name,
        target: {
            name,
            [is Array].element_type: { name },
        },
    },
}
filter .name = 'default::User';

{
    Object {
        name: 'default::User',
        properties: {
            Object {
                name: 'favorites',
                target: Object {
                    name: 'array',
                    element_type: Object { name: 'std::str' }
                }
            },
            ...
        }
    }
}

Tuple​

Introspection of the schema::Tuple:

with module schema
select ObjectType {
    name,
    links: {
        name,
    },
    properties: {
        name,
    }
}
filter .name = 'schema::Tuple';

{
    Object {
        name: 'schema::Tuple',
        links: {
            Object { name: '__type__' },
            Object { name: 'element_types' }
        },
        properties: {
            Object { name: 'id' },
            Object { name: 'name' }
        }
    }
}

For example, below is an introspection of the return type of the sys::get_version() function:

with module schema
select `Function` {
    return_type[is Tuple]: {
        element_types: {
            name,
            type: { name }
        } order by .num
    }
}
filter .name = 'sys::get_version';

{
    Object {
        return_type: Object {
            element_types: {
                Object {
                    name: 'major',
                    type: Object {
                        name: 'std::int64'
                    }
                },
                Object {
                    name: 'minor',
                    type: Object {
                        name: 'std::int64'
                    }
                },
                Object {
                    name: 'stage',
                    type: Object {
                        name: 'sys::VersionStage'
                    }
                },
                Object {
                    name: 'stage_no',
                    type: Object {
                        name: 'std::int64'
                    }
                },
                Object {
                    name: 'local',
                    type: Object { name: 'array' }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
