Description

The @collection directive controls the name of the underlying database collection for the annotated type. By default, the GraphQL API uses the name of a type as the name of the collection in the database.

Example

Given the following GraphQL schema:

type User @collection(name: "users") {
  name: String
}

The database collections would be:

Paginate(Collections())
{ data: [ Collection("users") ] }
