How to enable plain id query rather than using paths in api_platform graphql?

Question

I have implemented api_platform in my symfony 4 project, the problem is that I have to use the paths provided by the Rest api to fetch data using graphql like this

{
  user(id:"api/users/1")
  {
    id
  }
}

rather than

{
  user(id:1){
  id
  }
}

Went through the documentation and didn't find a solution for this. Using plain api paths in graph api isn't really worth moving to graphql. Any help.

Why do you need to use the path containing the id instead of the id only? Is there any particular reason for this? — fgamess

libraries like Prisma Binding allows you to query GraphQL using APIs

example on fetch user with ID of 1:

const query = `
  query ($userId: ID!){
    user(id: $userId) {
      id
      name
    }
  }
`

const variables = { userId: '1' }

prisma.request(query, variables).then(result => console.log(result))
// {"data": { "user": { "id": "1", "name": "Sarah" } } }

From here, we can write custom wrappers to translate the REST endpoints to corresponding queries
