* get
* read_one
* list
* action
* [mutations](#graphql-mutations)

list :list_posts, :read
end
mutations do
create :create_post, :create
update :update_post, :update
destroy :destroy_post, :destroy
end
end
```
### Options
| Name | Type | Default | Docs |
|------|------|---------|------|
| [`type`](#graphql-type){: #graphql-type } | `atom` | | The type to use for this entity in the graphql schema. If the resource doesn't have a type, it also needs to have `generate_object? false` and can only expose generic action queries. |
| [`derive_filter?`](#graphql-derive_filter?){: #graphql-derive_filter? } | `boolean` | `true` | Set to false to disable the automatic generation of a filter input for read actions. |
| [`derive_sort?`](#graphql-derive_sort?){: #graphql-derive_sort? } | `boolean` | `true` | Set to false to disable the automatic generation of a sort input for read actions. |
| [`encode_primary_key?`](#graphql-encode_primary_key?){: #graphql-encode_primary_key? } | `boolean` | `true` | For resources with composite primary keys, or primary keys not called `:id`, this will cause the id to be encoded as a single `id` attribute, both in the representation of the resource and in get requests |
| [`relationships`](#graphql-relationships){: #graphql-relationships } | `list(atom)` | | A list of relationships to include on the created type. Defaults to all public relationships where the destination defines a graphql type. |
| [`paginate_relationship_with`](#graphql-paginate_relationship_with){: #graphql-paginate_relationship_with } | `keyword` | `[]` | A keyword list indicating which kind of pagination should be used for each `has_many` and `many_to_many` relationships, e.g. `related_things: :keyset, other_related_things: :offset`. Valid pagination values are `nil`, `:offset`, `:keyset` and `:relay`. |
| [`field_names`](#graphql-field_names){: #graphql-field_names } | `keyword` | | A keyword list of name overrides for attributes. |
| [`hide_fields`](#graphql-hide_fields){: #graphql-hide_fields } | `list(atom)` | | A list of attributes to hide from the domain |
| [`show_fields`](#graphql-show_fields){: #graphql-show_fields } | `list(atom)` | | A list of attributes to show in the domain. If not specified includes all (excluding `hide_fiels`). |
| [`argument_names`](#graphql-argument_names){: #graphql-argument_names } | `keyword` | | A nested keyword list of action names, to argument name remappings. i.e `create: [arg_name: :new_name]` |
| [`keyset_field`](#graphql-keyset_field){: #graphql-keyset_field } | `atom` | | If set, the keyset will be displayed on all read actions in this field. It will be `nil` unless at least one of the read actions on a resource uses keyset pagination or it is the result of a mutation |
| [`attribute_types`](#graphql-attribute_types){: #graphql-attribute_types } | `keyword` | | A keyword list of type overrides for attributes. The type overrides should refer to types available in the graphql (absinthe) schema. `list_of/1` and `non_null/1` helpers can be used. |
| [`attribute_input_types`](#graphql-attribute_input_types){: #graphql-attribute_input_types } | `keyword` | | A keyword list of input type overrides for attributes. The type overrides should refer to types available in the graphql (absinthe) schema. `list_of/1` and `non_null/1` helpers can be used. |
| [`argument_input_types`](#graphql-argument_input_types){: #graphql-argument_input_types } | `keyword` | | A keyword list of actions and their input type overrides for arguments. The type overrides should refer to types available in the graphql (absinthe) schema. `list_of/1` and `non_null/1` helpers can be used. |
| [`primary_key_delimiter`](#graphql-primary_key_delimiter){: #graphql-primary_key_delimiter } | `String.t` | `"~"` | If a composite primary key exists, this can be set to determine delimiter used in the `id` field value. |
| [`depth_limit`](#graphql-depth_limit){: #graphql-depth_limit } | `integer` | | A simple way to prevent massive queries. |
| [`generate_object?`](#graphql-generate_object?){: #graphql-generate_object? } | `boolean` | `true` | Whether or not to create the GraphQL object, this allows you to manually create the GraphQL object. |
| [`filterable_fields`](#graphql-filterable_fields){: #graphql-filterable_fields } | `list(atom)` | | A list of fields that are allowed to be filtered on. Defaults to all filterable fields for which a GraphQL type can be created. |
| [`nullable_fields`](#graphql-nullable_fields){: #graphql-nullable_fields } | `atom \| list(atom)` | | Mark fields as nullable even if they are required. This is useful when using field policies. See the authorization guide for more. |

### Introspection
Target: `AshGraphql.Resource.Subscription`
## graphql.managed_relationships
Generates input objects for `manage_relationship` arguments on resource actions.
### Nested DSLs
* [managed_relationship](#graphql-managed_relationships-managed_relationship)
### Examples
```
managed_relationships do
manage_relationship :create_post, :comments
end
```
### Options
| Name | Type | Default | Docs |
|------|------|---------|------|
| [`auto?`](#graphql-managed_relationships-auto?){: #graphql-managed_relationships-auto? } | `boolean` | `true` | Automatically derive types for all arguments that have a `manage_relationship` call change. |
## graphql.managed_relationships.managed_relationship
```elixir
managed_relationship action, argument
```
Instructs ash_graphql that a given argument with a `manage_relationship` change should have its input objects derived automatically from the potential actions to be called.
For example, given an action like:
```elixir
actions do
create :create do
argument :comments, {:array, :map}
change manage_relationship(:comments, type: :direct_control) # <- we look for this change with a matching argument name
end
end
```
You could add the following managed_relationship
```elixir
graphql do
...
managed_relationships do
managed_relationship :create, :comments
end
end
```
By default, the `{:array, :map}` would simply be a `json[]` type. If the argument name
is placed in this list, all of the potential actions that could be called will be combined
into a single input object. If there are type conflicts (for example, if the input could create
or update a record, and the create and update actions have an argument of the same name but with a different type),
a warning is emitted at compile time and the first one is used. If that is insufficient, you will need to do one of the following:
1.) provide the `:types` option to the `managed_relationship` constructor (see that option for more)
2.) define a custom type, with a custom input object (see the custom types guide), and use that custom type instead of `:map`
3.) change your actions to not have overlapping inputs with different types
Since managed relationships can ultimately call multiple actions, there is the possibility
of field type conflicts. Use the `types` option to determine the type of fields and remove the conflict warnings.
For `non_null` use `{:non_null, type}`, and for a list, use `{:array, type}`, for example:
`{:non_null, {:array, {:non_null, :string}}}` for a non null list of non null strings.
To *remove* a key from the input object, simply pass `nil` as the type.
### Arguments
| Name | Type | Default | Docs |
|------|------|---------|------|
| [`action`](#graphql-managed_relationships-managed_relationship-action){: #graphql-managed_relationships-managed_relationship-action } | `atom` | | The action that accepts the argument |
| [`argument`](#graphql-managed_relationships-managed_relationship-argument){: #graphql-managed_relationships-managed_relationship-argument .spark-required} | `atom` | | The argument for which an input object should be derived. |
### Options
| Name | Type | Default | Docs |
|------|------|---------|------|
| [`lookup_with_primary_key?`](#graphql-managed_relationships-managed_relationship-lookup_with_primary_key?){: #graphql-managed_relationships-managed_relationship-lookup_with_primary_key? } | `boolean` | | If the managed_relationship has `on_lookup` behavior, this option determines whether or not the primary key is provided in the input object for looking up. |
| [`lookup_identities`](#graphql-managed_relationships-managed_relationship-lookup_identities){: #graphql-managed_relationships-managed_relationship-lookup_identities } | `list(atom)` | | Determines which identities are provided in the input object for looking up, if there is `on_lookup` behavior. Defalts to the `use_identities` option. |
| [`type_name`](#graphql-managed_relationships-managed_relationship-type_name){: #graphql-managed_relationships-managed_relationship-type_name } | `atom` | | The name of the input object that will be derived. Defaults to `<action_type>_<resource>_<argument_name>_input` |
| [`types`](#graphql-managed_relationships-managed_relationship-types){: #graphql-managed_relationships-managed_relationship-types } | `any` | | A keyword list of field names to their graphql type identifiers. |
| [`ignore?`](#graphql-managed_relationships-managed_relationship-ignore?){: #graphql-managed_relationships-managed_relationship-ignore? } | `boolean` | `false` | Use this to ignore a given managed relationship, preventing `auto? true` from deriving a type for it. |
