Missing support for query variables

Hello,

Thanks for your time and engagement in making work with graphql easier.

However one missing feature is support for query variables. Using graphql I write query like this:

query($name:String) { 
  user(name: $name) {
    id
    name
    surname
  }
}

and provide name’s value : {"name": "random_name"}

I would expect the same possibility using grapql-java-codegen lib.

Grapql query serialized to json may look like this:

{
    "query":
        "query($name:String) {
            user(name: $name) {
                id
                name
                surname
            }
        }"
    ,
    "variables": "{\"name\": \"random_name\"}"
}

Sorry for no response for so long. Thx for your comments. We’re using arrango db with foxx services and we have strict endpoints defined. I could use http query parameters when calling arrango, but this would mean change of foxx microservice. Because of business priorities I cannot afford to make this change now.

However, we’ve managed to make a workaround by creating our own GraphQLRequest json serializer which allows to pass a variable to variables section.

@jxnu-liguobin, Exactly. Request works perfectly if variables put directly in the query and not in the “variables” section. So I don’t see any reason why they should be moved there. @SilverSheep, Please clarify.

The client really doesn’t care how to transfer parameters. Usually, the independent transmission is because the front end is more convenient for schema and data separation.
