Through this impression we go deeper on our understanding about Explorer
Overview
The Explorer
component located in the request panel helps you in building queries more flexibly in the Playground
through a pre-populated schema.
How to work with the Explorer
- Enter a GraphQL endpoint into the URL bar. If you don't have one, click the
Sample
button to add a sample endpoint. - As you do, the
Explorer
will fetch the schema and populate the list with queries, mutations, and subscriptions you can perform. - Next, scroll down the list in the
Explorer
and select the checkboxes for items you want in your query. - As you select items, the query will auto-build in the
Playground
making debugging more accurate. - When the query is complete, click the
Send
button to execute it.
Explorer
is a great feature for you to build and test your GraphQL API more confidently.
