Types Added to the Schema

To support the Advanced Link field type in the GraphQL Schema, additional GraphQL Object Types and Interfaces are added to the Schema:

• ACFE_AdvancedLink (interface): The interface implemented by the possible types an Advanced Link could return
• ACFE_AdvancedLink_Url (object type): The Object Type resolved if the advanced link field links to a URL
• ACFE_AdvancedLink_TermNode (object type): The Object Type resolved if the advanced link field links to a term.
• ACFE_AdvancedLink_ContentNode (object type): The Object Type resolved if the advanced link field links to a Content Node (post).

Resolve Type

Fields of the "acfe_advanced_link" resolve to the "ACFE_AdvancedLink" Interface type.

This means that when querying for an advanced link field, the response will be one of the possible types that implement the ACFE_AdvancedLink interface (ACFE_AdvancedLink_Url, ACFE_AdvancedLink_TermNode, ACFE_AdvancedLink_ContentNode).
