I am creating a query in graphql + apollo client whose filters and orders can change depending on what the customer selects in the frontend. For example:
query (
$orderPart: String!
$wherePart: String!
) {
getProductInfo(
order {$orderPart}
where {$wherePart}
) {
productID
description
size
model
cathegoryNumber
}
Where $orderPart will be equal to "description: DESC" or "productID: ASC" (depending what the customer selected in a momento or another). And $wherePart will be equal to "cathegoryNumber: {eq: 12}" or "productID: {eq: 111111}".
I need to pass the order/filter clause completely as a parameter.
But it doesn't work. Syntax is error "Syntax Error: Expected name, found $".
So my question is...
Is there any way to implement these dynamic filters/orders? How could this functionality be implemented? Is there any other way to implement this dynamic filters and orders?
Thanks.
Note: In the official documentation, I found that only values can be passed as a parameters:
query (
$orderValue: sortEnumType! = DESC
$whereValue: String! = "description1"
) {
getProductInfo(
order {productID: $orderValue}
where {description: {eq: $whereValue} }
) {
productID
description
size
model
cathegoryNumber
}
But that is not what I need because always filters/orders couldn't be changed. And they could be completely different each time (prodyuct:ASC) first time, (cathegoryNumber:DESC) second time, etc...
Thanks for your help, I found a solution. Using apollo client and variables when the template is created:
let orderValue = 'order {productID: ASC}'; // built dynamically
let whereValue = 'description: {eq: "description1"}'; // built dynamically
document = gql`
query {
getProductInfo(
${orderValue}
${whereValue}
) {
productID
description
size
model
categoryNumber
}
