GraphQL Client

Usage

To send a graphql request to a server, you need to specify:

• Endpoint (it starts with the keyword POST)
• Query/mutation
• Variables (optional)

An example of a simple query:

POST https://api.graph.cool/simple/v1/swapi

query {
  allPersons {
    name
    films {
      director
    }
  }
}

Select the above text and open the command palette and look for a command called GraphQL Client: Send request. Then use that command to send your request to the specified endpoint. Also, if you want to use variables, simply add the following after your query/mutation:

variables : {
  ...
}

Note: the content of the variables must be written in JSON format.

Troubleshooting

For Windows users, please switch your end of line sequence from CRLF to LF, otherwise the extension may not work properly. The end of line sequence can be changed via the option at the bottom right of VSCode.
