nameWithArguments

Returns a String containing the name of this field as well as encoded arguments. For an example: hero({"episode": "Jedi"}) This is mostly used internally to compute field keys / cache keys.

Note1:

The argument defaultValues are not added to the name. If the schema changes from:

type Query {
  users(first: Int = 10): [User]
}

to:

type Query {
  users(first: Int = 10_000): [User]
}

The nameWithArguments will stay "users" in both cases.

Note2:

While the defaultValues of variables are taken into account, the variables are not fully coerced. These 2 queries will have different cache keys despite being identical:

Query1:

query GetUsers($ids: [ID]) {
  users(ids: $ids) { id }
}

Variables1:

{
  "ids": [42]
}

CacheKey1: users({"ids": ["42"]})

Variables2, coercing a single item to a list:

{
  "ids": 42
}

CacheKey1: users({"ids": 42})
