Solution for querying data using graphql

[0xmonkeyking]

I need to fetch data for file directory with this format.

type File {
  id: ID!
  name: String!
  size: Int!
}

type Directory {
  id: ID!
  name: String!
  files: [File]
  directories: [Directory]
}

type Query {
  directory(id: ID!): Directory
}

How can I query data from using graphql client? Thanks in advance!

There'a a lot of facets to your question, without the neccesary information it will be hard to get to the correct answer.

• Is this schema running on a server? If so you can use fetch/graphiql/any GraphQL client
• Is this a schema that you want to query? You can use the execute parameter this package exports

An example query for this schema would be

query getDirectory($dir: ID!) {
  directory(id: $id) { id name }
}

In a fetch call this would look like

fetch('your-url', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({ query, variables: { dir: 'x' } })
})

Unfortunately graphql client doesn't support recursive query for now.
Instead you can query the file directories in raw string and parse them in response.
