Auke Booij caf9957aca Remove Unique from Definition
GraphQL types can refer to each other in a circular way. The PDV framework used to use values of type `Unique` to recognize two fragments of GraphQL schema as being the same instance. Internally, this is based on `Data.Unique` from the `base` package, which simply increases a counter on every creation of a `Unique` object.

**NB**: The `Unique` values are _not_ used for knot tying the schema combinators themselves (i.e. `Parser`s). The knot tying for `Parser`s is purely based on keys provided to `memoizeOn`. The `Unique` values are _only_ used to recognize two pieces of GraphQL _schema_ as being identical. Originally, the idea was that this would help us with a perfectly correct identification of GraphQL types. But this fully correct equality checking of GraphQL types was never implemented, and does not seem to be necessary to prevent bugs.

Specifically, these `Unique` values are stored as part of `data Definition a`, which specifies a part of our internal abstract syntax tree for the GraphQL types that we expose. The `Unique` values get initialized by the `SchemaT` effect.

In #2894 and #2895, we are experimenting with how (parts of) the GraphQL types can be hidden behind certain permission predicates. This would allow a single GraphQL schema in memory to serve all roles, implementing #2711. The permission predicates get evaluated at query parsing time when we know what role is doing a certain request, thus outputting the correct GraphQL types for that role.

If the approach of #2895 is followed, then the `Definition` objects, and thus the `Unique` values, would be hidden behind the permission predicates. Since the permission predicates are evaluated only after the schema is already supposed to be built, this means that the permission predicates would prevent us from initializing the `Unique` values, rendering them useless.

The simplest remedy to this is to remove our usage of `Unique` altogether from the GraphQL schema and schema combinators. It doesn't serve a functional purpose, doesn't prevent bugs, and requires extra bookkeeping.

{- Note [Optional fields and nullability]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GraphQL conflates optional fields and nullability. A field of a GraphQL input
object (or an argument to a selection set field, which is really the same thing)
is optional if and only if its type is nullable. Its worth fully spelling out
the implications here: if a field (or argument) is non-nullable, it /cannot/ be
omitted. So, for example, suppose we had a table type like this:
type article {
comments(limit: Int!): [comment!]!
}
Since we made `limit` non-nullable, it is /illegal/ to omit the argument. Youd
/always/ have to provide some value---and that isnt what we want, because the
row limit should be optional. We have no choice but to make it nullable:
type article {
comments(limit: Int): [comment!]!
}
But this feels questionable. Should we really accept `null` values for `limit`?
That is, should this query be legal?
{
articles {
comments(limit: null) { ... }
}
}
A tempting answer to that question is “yes”: we can just treat a `null` value
for any optional field as precisely equivalent to leaving the field off
entirely. That is, any field with no default value really just has a default
value of `null`. Unfortunately, this approach turns out to be a really bad idea.
Its all too easy to write something like
mutation delete_article_by_id($article_id: Int) {
delete_articles(where: {id: {eq: $article_id}})
}
then accidentally misspell `article_id` in the variables payload, and now youve
deleted all the articles in your database. Very bad.
So wed really like to be able to have a way to say “this field is optional, but
`null` is not a legal value,” but at first it seems like the GraphQL spec ties
our hands. Fortunately, there is a way out. The spec explicitly permits
distinguishing between the following two situations:
comments { ... }
comments(limit: null) { ... }
That is, the spec allows implementations to behave differently depending on
whether an argument was omitted or whether its value was `null`. This is spelled
out in a few different places in the spec, but §3.10 Input Objects
<http://spec.graphql.org/June2018/#sec-Input-Objects> is the most explicit:
> If the value `null` was provided for an input object field, and the fields
> type is not a nonnull type, an entry in the coerced unordered map is given
> the value `null`. In other words, there is a semantic difference between the
> explicitly provided value `null` versus having not provided a value.
Note that this is only allowed for fields that dont have any default value! If
the field were declared with an explicit `null` default value, like
type article {
comments(limit: Int = null): [comment!]!
}
then it would not be legal to distinguish the two cases. Yes, this is all
terribly subtle.
Okay. So armed with that knowledge, what do we do about it? We offer three
different combinators for parsing input fields:
1. `field` — Defines a field with no default value. The fields nullability is
taken directly from the nullability of the fields value parser.
2. `fieldOptional` — Defines a field with no default value that is always
nullable. Returns Nothing if (and only if!) the field is omitted.
3. `fieldWithDefault` — Defines a field with a default value.
The last of the three, `fieldWithDefault`, is actually the simplest. It
corresponds to a field with a default value, and the underlying value parser
will /always/ be called. If the field is omitted, the value parser is called
with the default value. (This makes it impossible to distinguish omitted fields
from those explicitly passed the default value, as mandated by the spec.) Use
`fieldWithDefault` for any field or argument with a non-`null` default value.
`field` is also fairly straightforward. It always calls its value parser, so if
the field is omitted, it calls it with a value of `null`. Notably, there is no
special handling for non-nullable fields, since the underlying parser will raise
an error in that case, anyway. Use `field` for required fields, and combine
`field` with `nullable` for optional fields with a default value of `null`.
`fieldOptional` is the most interesting. Unlike `field` and `fieldWithDefault`,
`fieldOptional` does not call its underlying value parser if the field is not
provided; it simply returns Nothing. If a value /is/ provided, it is passed
along without modification. This yields an interesting interaction when the
value parser does not actually accept nulls, such as a parser like this:
fieldOptional $$(litName "limit") Nothing int
This corresponds to the `limit` field from our original example. If the field is
omitted, the `int` parser is not called, and the field parser just returns
Nothing. But if a value of `null` is explicitly provided, it is forwarded to the
`int` parser, which then rejects it with a parse error, since it does not accept
nulls. This is exactly the behavior we want.
This semantics can appear confusing. We end up with a field with a nullable type
for which `null` is not a legal value! A strange interpretation of “nullable”,
indeed. But realize that the nullability really means “optional”, and the
behavior makes more sense.
As a final point, note that similar behavior can be obtained with
`fieldWithDefault`. The following creates a boolean field that defaults to
`false` and rejects `null` values:
fieldWithDefault $$(litName "includeDeprecated") Nothing (VBoolean False) boolean
This is a perfectly reasonable thing to do for exactly the same rationale behind
the use of `fieldOptional` above. -}
