Error: Material fields must be an object with field names as keys or a function which returns such an object

I have an app with a MongoDB database. I have a Schema with Customers and Tickets and everything was working fine. I’m trying to add a Materials collection, I’ve added it to my Schema and I keep getting this error:

Error: Material fields must be an object with field names as keys or a function which returns such an object.

I’ve tried searching and don’t see any questions exactly like mine, I see the same error someone had, but his was a typo, and I’m not seeing any typos in my code. Doesn’t mean there isn’t one, but I’m not seeing it. Besides the error message, my server seems to crash. I can’t get to GraphiQL by going to http://localhost:5400/graphql

If I comment out my Materials entries, everything works fine again.

Here is my Schema:

const Customer = require('../models/Customer');
const Ticket = require('../models/Ticket');
const Material = require('../models/Material');


const { GraphQLObjectType, 
        GraphQLString, 
        GraphQLSchema, 
        GraphQLID, 
        GraphQLList, 
        GraphQLInt, 
        GraphQLNonNull,
        GraphQLDeprecatedDirective,
      } = require('graphql');

//Tickets
const TicketType = new GraphQLObjectType({
  name: 'Ticket',
  fields: () => ({
    id: { type: GraphQLID },
    date: { type: GraphQLString},
    ticketNum: { type: GraphQLString},
    customer: { 
      type: CustomerType,
      resolve(parent, args) {
        return Customer.findById(parent.customerId);
      },
    },
    material: { type: GraphQLString},
    tareWeight: { type: GraphQLInt},
    grossWeight: { type: GraphQLInt},
    netWeight: { type: GraphQLInt},
    notes: { type: GraphQLString},
  }),
});

//Materials
const MaterialType = new GraphQLObjectType({
  name: "Material",
  Fields: () => ({
    id: { type: GraphQLID },

module.exports = new GraphQLSchema({

Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

>Solution :

You have Fields with an uppercase F in Materials, lower case elsewhere.
