How to use Before/After arguments in TranslatableResources

[Sarya_Sh]

Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out how to use the Before/After arguments in TranslatableResources GraphQL mentioned on this page. 

Root-Problem Details:

We sell second-hand clothes in Europe. This means the following:

- Each product is unique and exists only once

- We sell for different countries speaking different languages.

Based on this information, using an automatic translation app to translate our products will costs us a lot of money and won't stop charging us. 

My approach:

We decided to do it with a shopify private app that will

1- retrieve the newly added TranslatableResources

2- translate using a private service 

3- send a mutation call to update the translation.

Summary:

in order for this approach to work, I need to retrieve not only the last 99 items but more and I think my solution lies with using before/after cursors but there is nowhere on the internet where it shows how to use it  😕 

the current query I'm using:

{
      translatableResources(last: 99, resourceType: PRODUCT) {
        edges {
          node {
            resourceId
            translatableContent {
              key
              value
              digest
              locale
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }

Hi again, 
I found the answer to my problem in a german article by Shopify so I thought it will be useful to share here.

The idea is that you should retrieve the cursor so you can use it.
like this

{
  translatableResources(first: 20, resourceType: METAFIELD) {
    edges {
      cursor
      node {
        resourceId
        translatableContent {
          key
          value
          digest
          locale
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
