GraphQL Query Builder
Build GraphQL queries with fields and variables easily.
How to Use the GraphQL Query Builder
This tool helps you construct GraphQL queries with proper syntax, making it easier to work with GraphQL APIs.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Enter query name: The root query field (e.g., "user", "posts")
- List fields: Add fields you want to retrieve, one per line
- Add nested fields: Use indentation and braces for nested objects
- Add variables: (Optional) Define variables for dynamic queries
- Build query: Click "Build Query" to generate the GraphQL syntax
- Copy & use: Copy the query to use in your GraphQL client
Example Query:
Query Name: user
Fields:
id
name
email
posts {
id
title
createdAt
}
Variables:
userId: 123
Generated Query:
query ($userId: Int) {
user(userId: $userId) {
id
name
email
posts {
id
title
createdAt
}
}
}
GraphQL Basics:
- Query: Read operation to fetch data
- Fields: Specific properties you want to retrieve
- Nested Fields: Related objects (e.g., user's posts)
- Variables: Dynamic values passed to the query
- Arguments: Parameters to filter or modify results
Common Use Cases:
- Learning GraphQL query syntax
- Building queries for GraphQL API testing
- Prototyping frontend data requirements
- Documenting GraphQL API usage
- Teaching GraphQL to team members
Tips:
- Use 2-space indentation for nested fields
- Wrap nested objects in curly braces { }
- Variable names should be camelCase
- Test your queries in GraphQL Playground or GraphiQL
