Hi is there a way to disable adding “Input” suffix for Graphql input types?

hi 👋 there is no option to disable it globally but you can overwrite individual entries using @GraphQLName

see https://expediagroup.github.io/graphql-kotlin/docs/schema-generator/customizing-schemas/renaming-fields

Thanks, I tried it, it still added the Input at the end.

[Dariusz Kuc]

it should work (as per https://github.com/ExpediaGroup/graphql-kotlin/blob/master/graphql-kotlin-schema-generator/src/test/kotlin/com/expediagroup/graphql/generator/types/GenerateInputObjectTest.kt#L49) if you can provide a GH repo with a repro we can fix it

note: renaming input object will most likely require custom data fetcher logic to correctly serialize the renamed input type to corresponding graphql type (or I guess jackson annotation might work as well)

Thanks Dariusz,

The test you linked is actually showing that the Input suffix is always added.

The @GraphQLName annotation says the type name should be InputClassRenamed

@GraphQLName("InputClassRenamed")
    private class InputClassCustomName {
        @GraphQLName("myFieldRenamed")
        val myField: String = "car"
    }

But the test asserts that the name is InputClassRenamedInput :

@Test
fun `Test custom naming on classes`() {
    val result = generateInputObject(generator, InputClassCustomName::class)
    assertEquals("InputClassRenamedInput", result.name)
}

Anyway it’s not a big deal I think we can live with Input suffix 🙂

My bad, indeed it seems we always append input
