Graphql-dotnet: Need to get parent arguments or resolve subfield on parent

[denisedelbando]

Hello,
My issue is the subfield requires what arguments was sent to parent.
How would I do this?
Is this even possible?

query:

manypersons(page: 1, size: 100, letter: "A", activeState: true){
    letters >>>>>>> returns paginated A-Z by firstname. but i had this resolve on demand because not all use cases needed it resolved. But i need to know what the activeState is so I know what letters to return
    items{  >>>>>>> resolved on DB call
      firstname
      lastname
    }
}

You can't access parent arguments directly from a child resolver, but you can access variables. ResolveFieldContext.Variables

So its either i use variables or resolve on my services layer (where it formats to return a dto).
thank you.
