# Resource

A resolved URL path resource, containing the type and optional ID.

## Type Definition

```graphql
type Resource {
  type: ResourceKind!
  id: String
  alternates: [Alternate]
}
```

## Fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| type | `ResourceKind!` | The type of resource this path resolves to. |
| id | `String` | The unique identifier of the resource. Null for system pages like login, cart, etc. |
| alternates | `[Alternate]` | Alternate language URLs for this resource, used for hreflang links and language switching. |

## Relationships

The `Resource` type represents a resolved URL path and its associated metadata. It contains a `type` field that indicates what kind of resource the path resolves to (using the `ResourceKind` enum), an optional `id` field for resource identification, and an `alternates` field that provides alternate language versions of the resource for internationalization purposes.

## Example

```graphql
query {
  resourceByPath(path: "/products/example-product") {
    type
    id
    alternates {
      hreflang
      url
    }
  }
}
```
