Orchard Harvest 2024 Program, expose Content Fields Indexing via GraphQL for content field filtering - This week in Orchard (26/07/2024)
Fix Liquid script tag does not render custom attributes, and exposing Content Fields Indexing via GraphQL for content field filtering are the topics for this week. The full program of the Orchard Harvest conference, with all the speaker and talk details, is out! Without further ado, let's dive in!
Orchard Core updates
Fix Liquid script tag does not render custom attributes
The following Liquid template line
{% script name:"pdf.js", src:"/Vendor/pdfjs/build/pdf.js", type:"module", defer:"defer", at:"head", depends_on:"jQuery" %}renders in <head> as:
<script src="/t4h/OrchardCore.Resources/Scripts/jquery.min.js"></script><script src="/Vendor/pdfjs/build/pdf.js"></script>
As you can see, the defer and type attributes are missing. The issue was a missing clause in the ScriptTag.cs file.
Expose Content Fields Indexing via GraphQL for content field filtering
If you want to filter (with where) the value of content fields, you must implement a WhereInputObjectGraphType for it. There's no built-in way to filter content field values from GraphQL.
We already have Content Fields Indexing to be able to run SQL queries for field values. The goal of this change is to build on that and expose such SQL indices in GraphQL too.
The GraphQL module now allows for filtering content fields, making it easier to query specific content fields using GraphQL. This enhancement relies on having the OrchardCore.ContentFields.Indexing.SQL module enabled.
Additionally, the GetAliases method in the IIndexAliasProvider interface is now asynchronous and has been renamed to GetAliasesAsync. Implementations of this interface should be modified by updating the method signature and ensuring they handle asynchronous operations correctly.
To see this in action, we need to enable the mentioned Content Fields Indexing (SQL) module under Configuration -> Features. We also enabled the GraphQL feature to have the GraphiQL option under the Configuration menu for easier testing.
The following example demonstrates filtering Product content types based on a numeric content field named Amount, which is attached to a content part named Price Part, where the Amount is greater than 10. Note that in our example the Price Part is collapsed with the prevent field name collision option enabled. You can set these if you edit the content part settings of the attached Price Part.
As you can see, we have two products where the value of the Amount numeric field is greater than 10.

Orchard Harvest 2024 Program
The full Orchard Harvest program has finally arrived. This year’s program is packed with insightful sessions, engaging panels, and ample opportunities to connect with the Orchard community and to make Orchard Harvest the biggest Orchard Core event of the year. All sessions will be recorded and published on the Orchard YouTube channel after the event, so even if you can't make it live, you can see the sessions.
