# Valid field return types

- Scalar values, such as `i32` and `bool`. `usize`, `isize`, `u128` and `i128` are not supported
- `Vec<T>`, such as `Vec<i32>`
- Slices, such as `&[i32]`
- `Option<T>`, such as `Option<i32>`
- `BTree<T>`, `HashMap<T>`, `HashSet<T>`, `BTreeSet<T>`, `LinkedList<T>`, `VecDeque<T>`
- GraphQL objects.
- GraphQL enums.
- References to any of the above types, such as `&i32` or `&Option<String>`.
- `Result<T, E>`, such as `Result<i32, E>`

# Context

You can define a context as an argument to a method, and the context should be the first argument to the method.

```ignore
#[Object]
impl Query {
    async fn value(&self, ctx: &Context<'_>) -> { ... }
}
```

# Examples

Implements GraphQL Object for struct.

```rust
use async_graphql::*;

struct Query {
    value: i32,
}

#[Object]
impl Query {
    /// value
    async fn value(&self) -> i32 {
        self.value
    }

    /// reference value
    async fn value_ref(&self) -> &i32 {
        &self.value
    }

    /// value with error
    async fn value_with_error(&self) -> Result<i32> {
        Ok(self.value)
    }

    async fn value_with_arg(&self, #[graphql(default = 1)] a: i32) -> i32 {
        a
    }
}

# tokio::runtime::Runtime::new().unwrap().block_on(async move {
let schema = Schema::new(Query { value: 10 }, EmptyMutation, EmptySubscription);
let res = schema.execute(r#"{
    value
    valueRef
    valueWithError
    valueWithArg1: valueWithArg
    valueWithArg2: valueWithArg(a: 99)
}"#).await.into_result().unwrap().data;
assert_eq!(res, value!({
    "value": 10,
    "valueRef": 10,
    "valueWithError": 10,
    "valueWithArg1": 1,
    "valueWithArg2": 99
}));
# });
```

# Examples

Implements GraphQL Object for trait object.

```rust
use async_graphql::*;

trait MyTrait: Send + Sync {
    fn name(&self) -> &str;
}

#[Object]
impl dyn MyTrait + '_ {
    #[graphql(name = "name")]
    async fn gql_name(&self) -> &str {
        self.name()
    }
}

struct MyObj(String);

impl MyTrait for MyObj {
    fn name(&self) -> &str {
        &self.0
    }
}

struct Query;

#[Object]
impl Query {
    async fn objs(&self) -> Vec<Box<dyn MyTrait>> {
        vec![
            Box::new(MyObj("a".to_string())),
            Box::new(MyObj("b".to_string())),
        ]
    }
}

# tokio::runtime::Runtime::new().unwrap().block_on(async move {
let schema = Schema::new(Query, EmptyMutation, EmptySubscription);
let res = schema.execute("{ objs { name } }").await.into_result().unwrap().data;
assert_eq!(res, value!({
    "objs": [
        { "name": "a" },
        { "name": "b" },
    ]
}));
# });
