JetEngine CCTS | Gato GraphQL for WordPress

Integration with Crocoblock's JetEngine plugin.

The GraphQL schema is provided fields to query Custom Content Type (CCT) data.

Root fields

Field	Description
`jetengineCCTEntries`	Returns a list of CCT entries (`JetEngineCCTEntry` type).
`jetengineCCTEntryCount`	Returns the number of CCT entries.
`jetengineCCTEntry`	Returns a single CCT entry (`JetEngineCCTEntry` type).

The CCT slug must be provided via the slug argument (the CCT must be set as queryable in the plugin Settings, see below).

JetEngineCCTEntry type

On JetEngineCCTEntry type, we can query field values via:

Field	Description
`id`	The entry's database ID.
`uniqueID`	A unique identifier for the entry, composed by the CCT slug and the entry's ID.
`cctSlug`	The slug of the CCT this entry belongs to.
`status`	The entry's status (e.g. `publish`, `draft`).
`createdDate`	When the entry was created.
`createdDateStr`	The entry's creation date, formatted as a string.
`modifiedDate`	When the entry was last modified.
`modifiedDateStr`	The entry's last modification date, formatted as a string.
`authorID`	The ID of the entry's author.
`author`	The author user connection object.
`singleCustomPostID`	The ID of the linked single custom post, if any.
`singleCustomPost`	The linked single custom post connection object.
`fieldValues`	A JSON object with all CCT fields for that entry.
`fieldValue(slug)`	To query a single field by slug.

CCT field values

Values from fieldValue(slug) and from each key in fieldValues are cast according to the field type defined in the CCT.

Implicit ID fields (always cast to int when present and non-empty): id, singleCustomPostID, authorID.

How each CCT field type is cast in the GraphQL response:

Text (default): Unchanged (string or as stored).

Number: float if decimal point; otherwise int.

Switcher: Boolean; true for 1, true, yes, on (case-insensitive).

Media: "ID" → int; "Both" → object { id, url }; else unchanged.

Gallery: Comma-separated or array of IDs → int[].

Checkbox: Array; if field is "array type" → list of values; otherwise keyed object.

Posts: Single → int; multiple → int[].

Repeater: Array of rows; subfields cast recursively by type.

The example below uses a CCT with slug "sample_cct" and fields of different types (text, number, gallery, etc).

Executing the following query:

query JetEngineCCTEntries {
  jetengineCCTEntry(cctSlug: "sample_cct", by: { id: 1 }) {
    label_text: fieldValue(slug: "label_text")
    textarea: fieldValue(slug: "textarea")
    date: fieldValue(slug: "date")
    time: fieldValue(slug: "time")
    datetime: fieldValue(slug: "datetime")
    wysisyg: fieldValue(slug: "wysisyg")
    switcher: fieldValue(slug: "switcher")
    checkbox: fieldValue(slug: "checkbox")
    checkbox_array: fieldValue(slug: "checkbox_array")
    iconpicker: fieldValue(slug: "iconpicker")
    media_id: fieldValue(slug: "media_id")
    media_url: fieldValue(slug: "media_url")
    media_array: fieldValue(slug: "media_array")
    gallery: fieldValue(slug: "gallery")
    radio: fieldValue(slug: "radio")
    repeater: fieldValue(slug: "repeater")
    options_select: fieldValue(slug: "options_select")
    options_multiple_select: fieldValue(slug: "options_multiple_select")
    number: fieldValue(slug: "number")
    colorpicker: fieldValue(slug: "colorpicker")
    post: fieldValue(slug: "post")
    posts: fieldValue(slug: "posts")
  }
}

...each field in the response is cast to its CCT type:

    "jetengineCCTEntry": {
      "label_text": "Some label",
      "textarea": "Some description here\r\n\r\nSome description there",

The same type casting applies to every field in the JSON returned by fieldValues:

query JetEngineCCTEntries {
  jetengineCCTEntry(cctSlug: "sample_cct", by: { id: 1 }) {
    fieldValues
  }
}

Granting access to CCTs

By default, no CCTs are queryable.

To grant access to a CCT, the CCT must be set as queryable in the plugin Settings.

There are 2 places where this configuration can take place, in order of priority:

Custom: In the corresponding Schema Configuration
General: In the Settings page

In the Schema Configuration applied to the endpoint, select option Use custom configuration and then input the desired entries:

Defining the queryable CCTs in the Schema Configuration

Otherwise, the entries defined in the Queryable JetEngine CCTS option under the JetEngine CCTS section from the Settings will be used:

Defining the queryable CCTs in the Settings

Example Queries

List CCT entries:

query {
  jetengineCCTEntries(cctSlug: "sample_cct") {
    id
    uniqueID
    cctSlug
    status
    createdDate
    modifiedDate
    authorID
    author {
      id
      name
    }
    singleCustomPostID
    singleCustomPost {
      id
      title
    }
    fieldValues
    someField: fieldValue(slug: "some_field_slug")
  }
}

Single CCT entry by slug and ID:

query {
  jetengineCCTEntry(cctSlug: "sample_cct", by: { id: 1 }) {
    id
    uniqueID
    cctSlug
    status
    createdDate
    modifiedDate
    author {
      id
      name
    }
    singleCustomPost {
      id
      title
    }
    fieldValues
    someField: fieldValue(slug: "some_field_slug")
  }
}

List and count CCT entries with filter, pagination, and sort:

query {
  jetengineCCTEntryCount(
    cctSlug: "sample_cct"
    filter: { search: [{ field: "cct_author_id", value: 1, operator: EQUALS }] }
  )
  jetengineCCTEntries(
    cctSlug: "sample_cct"
    filter: { search: [{ field: "cct_author_id", value: 1, operator: EQUALS }] }
    pagination: { limit: 10, offset: 0 }
    sort: { by: "cct_created", order: DESC }
  ) {
    id
    authorID
  }
}
