How can I run a Graphql query in a Rails console?

Question

I have a Graphql query working in Graphiql:

query MyConfigurationType {
  myConfiguration {
    number
    expirationDate
  }
}

Returns

{
  "data": {
    "myConfiguration": {
      "number": 1,
      "expirationDate": "2022/10/04"
    }
  }
}

But I need to actually use that result in my app therefore I want to be able to run it in my rails console. There doesn't seem to be much info about this.

How would one go about executing a Graphql query in the Rails console?

Answer 1

After looking at some documentation the best I could manage to do was, in the Rails console do:

query_string = "query MyConfigurationType {
  myConfiguration {
    number
    expirationDate
  }
}"

and the run

result = MySchema.execute(query_string)

Which has a result of

=> #<GraphQL::Query::Result @query=... @to_h={"data"=>{"myConfiguration"=>{"number"=>1, "expirationDate"=>"2022/10/04"}}}>

Therefore one can now do

[1] pry(main)> result['data']
=> {"myConfiguration"=>{"number"=1, "expirationDate"=>"2022/10/04"}}
