Augment tags from text field in GraphQL/REST API

[goellner]

Bug description

I have a text field with this in

Random {{ custom:wrap text="nonsense" }} news in your inbox. Once a month.

and a custom tag set up like this:

<?php

namespace App\Tags;

use Statamic\Tags\Tags;

class Custom extends Tags
{
    /**
     * The {{ custom:wrap text="Title text" }} tag
     *
     * @return string|array
     */
    public function wrap()
    {
        $text = $this->params->get('text', null);
        $random_int = random_int(1, 7);
        $length_class = "sketch-short sketch-short--" . $random_int;

        if (strlen($text) > 8) {
            $random_int = random_int(1, 2);
            $length_class = "sketch-long sketch-long--" . $random_int;
        }

        return '<span class="sketch ' . $length_class . '">' . $text . '</span>';
    }
}

When outputting the value in an antlers template it gets evaluated, but in the REST API or GraphQL it just returns the plain string.

Could a custom GraphQL middleware solve this?

How to reproduce

• Set up custom Tag
• use tag in regular text field
• query with graphql or rest api

Not only custom tags, but even basic tags aren't evaluated in REST API.

I was kinda hoping this would work as it's a bit of a pain in the current project after migrating from Statamic with Laravel frontend to headless as we were referencing regularly to other values of entries in content using Antlers tags (like content Title or resolving relations for e.g. opening hours of stores in the FAQs).

If someone has a suggestion on how/where to solve this I'd he happy to maybe even submit a PR, but I need guidance.

Do you have antlers: true on that text field?

Yes. It just seems to get ingored in the REST API and doesn't get evaluated like in the example above from OP. Works fine in Laravel frontend with Antlers templates, but not in the API response.

statamic/cms 5.32.0

Is this even expected to work?

Looks like it only works in the context of an Antlers template at the moment.

Do you have any pointers on where this should be handled to get this working universally?

I'm guessing this should ideally happen sometime during augmentation?
