"Cannot read property 'get' of undefined" when add array of objects to mutation react-graphql-apollo-mongoose

Question

I got the "Cannot read property 'get' of undefined" error only when i add product Array of Objects to mutation, if i only add orderId Int there is no error. Below are more info:

Schema

type Order {
    orderId: Int
    product: [ProductInput]
}

input ProductInput {
    prodId: String
    value: [ValueInput]
}

type Product {
    prodId: String
    value: [Value]
}

type Value{
    name:String,
    props:String
}

input ValueInput{
    name:String,
    props:String
}

Mutation

 addOrder(orderId: Int, product: [ProductInput]):Order

Resolver (with mongoose)

 addOrder(parent, args, context, info) {
 let orderId;
 let product;

 if (args.orderId) {
      orderId = { orderId: args.orderId };
      }
 if (args.product) {
      product= { product: args.product};
      }

return context.Order.findOneAndUpdate(
      { orderId: args.orderId },
      {
        $setOnInsert: {
          ...orderId,
          ...product
        }
      },
      { new: true, upsert: true }
    );
}

Even I get error, the mutation is successfully in database,but graphql return

Mutation

 addOrder(orderId: Int, product: [ProductInput]):Order

Mutation addOrder should return Order object

findOneAndUpdate method inserts a new record but returning result is optional - it can be done using returnNewDocument: true (default: false) - see docs

Second

If you're inserting nested/embeded entities - array of ProductInput - you need to insert/create them, too - see slightly related question - of course it depends on mongoose schema (you didn't provided).

It's easier to have mongose parts working and 'wrap' with graphql resolvers than adapt/change mongoose schema to reflect grpahql types/resolver changes.

Hi, {new:true} in mongoose i think is same as returnNewDocument in mongo. Anyway, i tried using returnNewDocument but still got error. Also i tried to create nested entity , also i got the same result (error, but succesfully mutation) : ``` if (args.product) { product = { product: args.product.map((product) => { return { prodId: product.prodId, variation: product.variation.map((variation) => { return { name: variation.name, value: variation.value }; }) }; }) }; }```

actually you are right: i adjusted schema like product.prodId, instead of {product:{prodId:x}} and i got no error now! Thanks! Also

It's easier to have mongose parts working and 'wrap' with graphql resolvers than adapt/change mongoose schema to reflect grpahql types/resolver changes.

Can you point me to something more detailed? I would love to learn a different and easier method

it shouldn't be required but probably helps [apollo] in recognizing types - defining __typename [for products and variants] property should do the trick ... show mongoose schema (how is related to graphql types)

Thanks to @xadm I solved the error via replacing in resolver:

 if (args.product) {
      product= { product: args.product};
      }

with

if (args.product) {
      product = args.product.map((product) => {
        return {
          'product.prodId': product.prodId,
          'product.variation': product.variation.map((variation) => {
            return {
              'product.variation.name': variation.name,
              'product.variation.value': variation.value
            };
          })
        };
      });
    }
