Equivalent of @reverse (DQL) in Graphql

[galmeida]

I need to be able to search in both directions of a certain edge in a given type. Im writing my schemas in Graphql. Since @reverse is only available in DQL and not in GraphQL, is there any way I could have an equivalent functionality ? If it matters, its a list of edges for each node, not a single reference. Like:

type MyType{
friend: [MyType] << I want ~friend
}

I’ve seen @hasInverse bu the examples are only in different types and from a single/list to single, not list-list

Yeah, this can’t be done out-of-the-box:

I cannot map a reverse edge in GraphQL using @dgraph directive

Experience Report for Feature Request What you wanted to do Map a reverse edge to a GraphQL field instead of using a balanced @hasInverse field. type User { username: String! @id posts: [Post] @dgraph(pred: "~Post.author") } type Post { id: ID! content: String author: User! } Why do I need to do this, because I iterated upon my schema and added an inverse edge that I did not have before, see real life use case: What you actually did Use a script like Fixing Inverse Relationship…

Basically, you need to add every node manually in a linked node… OR…

use custom dql to query how you want.
