#Creating a Query(#creating-a-query)

	namespace App\GraphQl\Type;
	
	use GraphQL\Type\Definition\Type;
	use Ayimdomnic\GraphQl\Helper\Type as GraphQLType;
    
    class UserType extends GraphQLType {
        
        protected $attributes = [
			'name' => 'User',
			'description' => 'A user'
		];
		
		public function fields()
		{
			return [
				'id' => [
					'type' => Type::nonNull(Type::string()),
					'description' => 'The id of the user'
				],
				'email' => [
					'type' => Type::string(),
					'description' => 'The email of user'
				]
			];
		}
			
			
		#########If you want to resolve the field yourself, you can declare a method
		###################with the following format resolve[FIELD_NAME]Field()
		protected function resolveEmailField($root, $args)
		{
			return strtolower($root->email);
		}
        
    }
