Alias A Model Method Or Field in a GraphQL Type

If you need to override the name of a model method or field in a GraphQL type, you can use the property argument.

Let's say we have a model called Message:

class Message < ApplicationRecord
  def bar
    "bar"
  end
end

We can then make an alias to the bar method by specifying a property in our MessageType:

Types::MessageType = GraphQL::ObjectType.define do 
  field :foo, types.String, property: :bar
end
