GraphQL

How to query

A simple POST request with the GraphQL Query as body is everything you need to query a GraphQL Server. Examples here:

https://graphql.org/graphql-js/graphql-clients/

Example:

fetch('/graphql', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Accept': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({query: "{ hello }"})
})
  .then(r => r.json())
  .then(data => console.log('data returned:', data));

data returned: Object { hello: "Hello world!" }

GraphQL config

https://graphql-config.com/ aims to standardize configuration for all GraphQL related tooling. It recommends having all GraphQL related configuration in a file at the root of the project named .graphqlrc. Furthermore it specifies the format of this configuration file. The official VSCode GraphQL plugin makes use of this configuration standard.
