This project is inspired by https://graphiql-online.com.

Installation

pip3 install gqt

It’s recommended to install bat for pretty output.

Controls

  • Press h or ? for help.

Examples

Set default GraphQL endpoint:

$ export GQT_ENDPOINT=https://mys-lang.org/graphql

Interactively create a query and execute it:

$ gqt
{
    "statistics": {
        "numberOfGraphqlRequests": 3
    }
}

Repeat last query:

$ gqt -r
{
    "statistics": {
        "numberOfGraphqlRequests": 4
    }
}

Print the query instead of executing it:

$ gqt -q
query Query {
  statistics {
    numberOfGraphqlRequests
  }
}

YAML output:

$ gqt -y
statistics:
  numberOfGraphqlRequests: 8

Print the schema:

$ gqt --print-schema
type Query {
  standardLibrary: StandardLibrary!
  statistics: Statistics!
  activities: [Activity!]!
}

type StandardLibrary {
  package(name: String!): Package!
  packages: [Package!]
  numberOfPackages: Int
  numberOfDownloads: Int
}
...

Known issues

  • Arguments does not work for scalar and input types.

  • Unions are not implemented.

  • And much more.

Ideas

  • Leaves with arguments:

    type Query {
        foo(id: Int, name: String): String
    }
    
    Unselected:
    
    ╭─ Query
    │ □ foo
    
    Selected:
    
    ╭─ Query
    │ ■ foo
    │   ■ id: 5
    │   □ name:
  • Required arguments with default value:

    □: omit
    ■: non-null value
    $: variable
  • Check for schema modifications when starting. Do it in the background and notify the user if it was modified.

    New schema fetched from the server. Use it? y/n

  • List argument example:

    ╭─ Query
    │ ▼ item
    │   ■ kinds:
    │     [0] ■ a: foo
    │         ■ b: eq
    │         ■ c:
    │           [0] ■ a: x
    │               ■ b: y
    │           [1]
    │     [1] ■ a: bar
    │         ■ b: ne
    │         □ c:
    │     [2]
  • Input example:

    ╭─ Query
    │ ▼ item
    │   ■ config:
    │     ■ unit: metric
    │     □ width:
    │   □ length
    │   □ weight
  • Variables example:

    ╭─ Query
    │ ▼ standardLibrary
    │   ▼ package
    │     $ name: name
    │     ■ id: 5
    │     $ kind: kind
    │     □ name
    │   □ numberOfDownloads
    │ ▶ statistics
    
    ╭─ Variables
    │ name: time
    │ kind:
    │   [0] ■ a: bar
    │       ■ b: ne
    │       □ c:
    │   [1]
  • Print variables:

    $ gqt -v
    {"name": "foo", "kind": [{"a": "bar", "b": "ne"}]}
  • Unions:

    Always query __typename.

    union SearchResult = Book | Author
    
    type Book {
      title: String!
    }
    
    type Author {
      name: String!
    }
    
    type Query {
      search(contains: String): [SearchResult!]
    }
    
    Unselected:
    
    ╭─ Query
    │ ▶ search
    
    Selected:
    
    ╭─ Query
    │ ▼ search
    │   ▶ Book
    │     ■ title
    │   ▶ Author
    │     ■ name
  • Alias?

    • Press a to create an alias.

    • Press d to delete an alias.

    smallPicture and mediumPicture are aliases of picture.

    ╭─ Query
    │ ▶ Book
    │   ▶ picture
    │   ▼ smallPicture: picture
    │     ■ width: 320
    │     ■ height: 240
    │   ▼ mediumPicture: picture
    │     ■ width: 800
    │     ■ height: 600
  • Subscriptions. Probably out of scope.
