rename transform

rename transforms allow you to rename a GraphQL field, type, or field argument. Renaming allows you to avoid conflicting names, simplify complicated names, and make queries look more like mutations. In the example below, we rename a long API field name from integrationCustomerTokenServiceV1CreateCustomerAccessTokenPost to the shorter CreateCustomerToken.

rename elements can contain arrays of individual renaming operations, defined in separate renames objects. Each of these objects must define the from and to values.

Usage

The following example renames the currency query field to currencyType in the Adobe Commerce source:

{
  "meshConfig": {
    "sources": [
      {
        "name": "AdobeCommerce",
        "transforms": [
          {
            "rename": {
              "renames": [
                {
                  "from": {
                    "type": "Query",
                    "field": "currency"
                  },
                  "to": {
                    "type": "Query",
                    "field": "currencyType"
                  }
                }
              ]
            }
          }
        ],
        "handler": {
          "graphql": {
            "endpoint": "https://venia.magento.com/graphql"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

You can use regular expression flags to enable the use of regular expressions when renaming using this transform. This way you can rename multiple types, fields, or both.

For example, you could use the key-value pair field: API(.*) in the from object to rename any field of the corresponding type that begins with "API".

[
  {
    "rename": {
      "mode": "bare | wrap",
      "renames": [
        {
          "from": {
            "type": "API(.*)"
          },
          "to": {
            "type": "$1"
          },
          "useRegExpForTypes": true
        },
        {
          "from": {
            "type": "Query",
            "field": "API(.*)"
          },
          "to": {
            "type": "Query",
            "field": "$1"
          },
          "useRegExpForFields": true
        }
      ]
    }
  }
