Variables
Client side
Variables is something that you can use with query or mutation.
First, we need to declare the variable in the operation name.
query MyQuery($username: String) {
...
}
Next, we want to user that variable with arguments by providing as a value
query MyQuery($username: String) {
findAllUserByUsername(username: $username) { username }
}
We provide the variable object to server side:
var variables = {
username: "Test"
}
Default variable values
We can provide the default value if we don't want to send the server the variables
object in the operation name
query MyQuery($username: String = "Test") {
findAllUserByUsername(username: $username) { username }
}
Server side
It's the same thing but now we're providing this object as variableValues
to our entry point
graphql({ schema, source, rootValue, variableValues: variables }).then((response) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 4));
});
