graphql_connection_page_info

Filter the pageInfo that is returned to the connection.

This filter allows for additional fields to be filtered into the pageInfo of a connection, such as “totalCount”, etc, because the filter has enough context of the query, args, request, etc to be able to calcuate and return that information.

apply_filters( 'graphql_connection_page_info', array $page_info, AbstractConnectionResolver $resolver );

Params

• $page_info (array): Array containing page info
• $resolver (AbstractConnectionResolver): Instance of the connection resolver

Example

You would want to register a “total” field to the PageInfo type, like so:

add_action( 'graphql_register_types', function() {
	register_graphql_field( 'PageInfo', 'totalCount', [
		'type'        => 'Int',
		'description' => __( 'The total count of items in the connection.', 'your-textdomain' ),
		'resolve'     => static function( $source, $args, $context, $info ) {
			return $source['totalCount'];
		},
	] );

} );

Then, you would want to filter the connection query args to tell the underlying WP_Query to ask to count the total posts.

add_filter( 'graphql_post_object_connection_query_args', function( array $query_args, $source, $args, $context, $info ) {

	$field_selection = $info->getFieldSelection( 2 );

	if ( ! isset( $field_selection['pageInfo']['totalCount'] ) ) {
		return $query_args;
	}

	$query_args['no_found_rows'] = false;

	return $query_args;

}, 10, 5 );

You would also need to do the same for the other WordPress query classes. WP_Query uses no_found_rows => false to tell SQL to count the total, but WP_Term_Query and

Then filter the pageInfo to return the total for the query, something to this tune:

add_filter( 'graphql_connection_page_info', function( $page_info, $resolver ) {
	$page_info['totalCount'] = $resolver->get_query()->found_posts ?? null;
	return $page_info;
}, 10, 2 );

This uses the results of the query to return the totalCount. Again, this would need to be more advanced to account for queries that return the data differently. WP_Query returns the data as found_posts where other query classes might return differently.

Now, we can query connections like so, getting the total count:
