Support for query variables

It looks like express-graphql and graphql-ruby accept queries with query and variables in separate structures. For example, here is a query generated by the express-graphql client library.

{
   "query":"query AppHomeRoute($uuid_0:String!) {
         account(uuid:$uuid_0) { 
               ...
         }
     }",
   "variables":{"uuid_0":"88888888-4444-4444-4444-121212121212"}
}

Here are a couple articles discussing variables:

• http://rmosolgo.github.io/blog/2016/03/03/using-graphql-without-relay/
• https://medium.com/the-graphqlhub/graphql-tour-variables-58c6abd10f56#.3lumjqvbm

It doesn’t look like the graphql-java server accepts query variables like this currently. It seems like this would be a nice feature to have, so you can use graphql-java servers with the relay-starter-kit.

@SebastianWjertzoch as mentioned above: you have to declare the variable.

you query is

query { person(id: $personId) { id, name } }

but it is missing the declaration of the variable. It should like this:

query myQuery($personId: Int) { person(id: $personId) { id, name } }

I hope this helps

well … if you wanna use a variable you have to declare the variable.

the query you mention works fine, because you don’t use a variable, hence you don’t have to declare it.
