Basics
Without Params
Some fields may be implied by the REST API path, so no params are required.
# https://tracking-system/projects/1/graphql { name createdAt }
With Params
Other times, you may need to use parameters in your query.
# https://tracking-system/projects/1/graphql { tasks($name: String){ status createdAt } }{"name": "clean bathroom"}
Fragments
Fragments are a named group of fields to select on a specific object-type.
Fragments let you:
- Select type-specific fields in heterogenous collections
- Concisely describe a group of fields, DRY out queries
- Concisely describe Recursive/Nested nodes
