Adding a query builder to Lokka

[imolorhe]

So I currently have an issue, or rather a feature request. I am beginning to have to work with queries with optional arguments that may not be provided in certain instances, but having created the query string, it isn't very flexible to remove arguments dynamically. Is there any proposed query builder tool to be used? Or could this be added to Lokka? I believe it would be a useful feature, given that scenarios where dynamically adding arguments would occur in a lot of projects.

We use this: https://github.com/kadirahq/graphqlify

@arunoda Oh wow.. cool! Any documentation for that? And is that used internally in Lokka or where is it used?

[arunoda]

Documentation is in the above repo itself. Isn't that useful.
Basically, it'll create a GraphQL query string.
So, you could use it with anything.

[imolorhe]

@arunoda It doesn't seem to cover all the use cases, like using fragments and query variables.

[arunoda]

Yeah! True.

[imolorhe]

@arunoda But does it kinda handle those implicitly? Even though the examples aren't there in the README?

I need to ask this from @mnmtanish
Hey do we support fragments, I mean something like this:

{
  teamFourStar {
    members {
      ...memberFields
    }
}

Opened issues for fragments and query variables. I'll post an update when they are ready.

Was with a colleague today and he came up with

actionCall(${ternary_operation} , ${ternary_operation}) {}

Usage:

let params = {
id: 12343
}

addTo(params){
let ADD_TO_QUERY = { addTo(${(params.cart_id) ?cart_id: ${params.cart_id},: ''}) { job_id job_info{ can_get_paid salary_range debt{ debt_id } } } } ;

    return ~~~~~~.mutate(ADD_TO_QUERY);
}
