# 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 within the storefront. The `type` field indicates what kind of resource the path resolves to using the `ResourceKind` enum. For resources with identifiable entities (such as products or collections), the `id` field contains the unique identifier. System pages like login and cart pages have no associated ID. The `alternates` field provides multilingual URL variants useful for SEO and language switching functionality.

## Example

```graphql
{
  resourceByPath(path: "/products/awesome-jacket") {
    type
    id
    alternates {
      language
      path
    }
  }
}
```
