How do I find acf data in the GraphQL IDE?

[bobdobbs]

I've created custom post types 'Albums' and 'Shows using ACF.
I've created custom fields for them, and set the fields to show in GraphQL.
I couldn't find an explicit setting for the cpt's themselves for exposing them to GraphQL.

In the GraphQL IDE query composer, I can't see anything that resembles 'albums' or 'shows'.
I've been hunting through the tree, but can't see anything.

Where should I be looking?

And if I still can't find them - what coud be preventing them from showing?

Not sure if you are having trouble with custom post types or Advanced Custom Fields.

If it's the former, have you tried adding register_graphql_field to your graphql_register_types function. Something like this for a custom field:

register_graphql_field('Business', 'views', [
        'type' => 'Int',
        'description' => __('The number of times the business has been viewed.', 'your-textdomain'),
        'resolve' => function ($post, $args, $context, $info) {
            $views = get_post_meta($post->databaseId, 'views', true);
            return isset($views) ? absint($views) : 0;
        },
    ]);

@bobdobbs have you tried the new version of WPGraphQL for ACF?

We re-architected the plugin and it's now available on WordPress.org: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpgraphql-acf

And it has a new home on Github: https://github.com/wp-graphql/wpgraphql-acf

The new version of the plugins supports the ACF Post Types and Taxonomies features released on ACF v6.1 providing a UI to set the post type / taxonomy to "show in graphql"

For Post Types / Taxonomies registered outside of ACF, see this documentation: https://www.wpgraphql.com/docs/custom-post-types
