How do I use a schema fields default value in a template?

Question

if I have a schema that has this  
  
type light{  
  status: String = 'Off'  
}  
  
and a query like this...  
getLightStatus(status:String)

and it is call like this  
getLightStatus()  
  
how can I use the default value of the status "Off" in the templates (VTL)?  
  
I have seen this  
$util.defaultIfNull()  
and   
$util.defaultIfNullOrEmpty()  
  
but it looks like I need to supply the default to these function instead of access the value in the schema...or am I missing something?

Answer

The short answer is I can't. I removed the default values from the schema and added them to the request resolver using a util function.  
  
Like this:

```
#if( $util.defaultIfNull(${context.arguments.events},0) == 1 )
```

The defaultIfNull will test to see if the value events param has a value and if not set it to 0

Answer

This behavior is not yet supported and, as of writing, resolver templates cannot access default values from the schema.
