Creation of dynamic property GraphQL\Type\Definition\InputObjectField::$rules is deprecated

Should I move all my input rules to mutations?

Is there a better approach?

InputObjectField is not part of rebing/graphql-laravel but of webonyx/graphql-php`

What's your code triggering this?

Hi Markus, thanks for the quick reply.

I'm getting several of these warnings in my logs:

Creation of dynamic property GraphQL\Type\Definition\InputObjectField::$rules is deprecated in /var/www/api/vendor/webonyx/graphql-php/src/Type/Definition/InputObjectField.php on line 105

I'm using PHP 8.2.6 and rebing/graphql-laravel v. 8.6.0.

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing the warnings are being triggered from my input classes. Most of them have the rules property, such as:

<?php

namespace App\GraphQL\InputObjects;

use App\Models\Client;
use GraphQL;
use GraphQL\Type\Definition\Type;
use Rebing\GraphQL\Support\InputType;

class ClientInput extends InputType
{
    protected $attributes = [
        'name' => 'ClientInput',
        'description' => "Input object for Client models.",
    ];

    public function fields(): array
    {
        return [
            'id' => [
                'name' => 'id',
                'description' => "The ID of the record in the database.",
                'type' => Type::int(),
                'rules' => [
                    'present',
                    'nullable',
                    'integer',
                    function ($attribute, $value, $fail) {
                        if (! $value) {
                            return true;
                        }
                        if (Client::where('id', $value)->doesntExist()) {
                            $fail(__("The value “:value” for attribute “:attribute” is not valid.", [
                                'value' => $value,
                                'attribute' => $attribute
                            ]));
                        }
                    },
                ]
            ],
// ...

Ah, I see.

I would be interesting if you experience the same with https://github.com/rebing/graphql-laravel/releases/tag/9.0.0-rc1 ; a lof (also, unfortunately, breaking) changes has been made and the code is quite different in both libraries (this and webonxy).
