GraphQL

You can use the @graphql directive to send GraphQL requests.

Create a file with the .http extension and write your GraphQL requests in it.

With variables​

gql-with-variables.http
POST https://swapi-graphql.netlify.app/.netlify/functions/index HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
X-REQUEST-TYPE: GraphQL

query Person($id: ID) {
  person(personID: $id) {
    name
  }
}

{ "id": 1 }

Without variables​

gql-without-variables.http
POST https://swapi-graphql.netlify.app/.netlify/functions/index HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
X-REQUEST-TYPE: GraphQL

query Query {
  allFilms {
    films {
      title
      director
      releaseDate
      speciesConnection {
        species {
          name
          classification
          homeworld {
            name
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Download GraphQL Server Schema​

You can download the schema of a GraphQL server with:

:lua require("kulala").download_graphql_schema()

You need to have your cursor on a line with a GraphQL request.

The file will be downloaded to the the directory where the current file is located.

The filename will be [http-file-name-without-extension].graphql-schema.json.

This file can be used in conjunction with the kulala-cmp-graphql plugin to provide autocompletion and type checking.
