Endpoints

The GraphQL endpoint is mounted on /graphql/:path where path is the url-encoded relative path of the Realm.

The subscription endpoint is ws://ROS-URL:ROS-PORT/graphql/:path.

The GraphiQL (visual exploratory tool) endpoint is mounted on /graphql/explore/:path where path, again, is the path of the Realm.

Query

To query, you start with a query node. The schema of the Realm file is automatically used to generate the GraphQL schema that exposes the following operations:

• Query for all objects of a certain type: all object types have a pluralized node, e.g. users, accounts, etc. It accepts the following optional arguments:

  • query: a verbatim realm.js query that will be used to filter the returned dataset.

  • sortBy: a property on the object to sort by.

  • descending: sorting direction (default is false, i.e. ascending).

  • skip: offset to start taking objects from.

  • take: maximum number of items to return.

• Query for object by primary key: object types that have a primary key defined will have a singularized node, e.g. user, realmFile, etc. It accepts a single argument that is the primary key of the object.

For more information on how to use query see the GraphQL documentation.

Mutation

To mutate an object, start with a mutation node. The schema of the Realm file is automatically used to generate the GraphQL schema that exposes the following operations:

• Add object: all object types have an addObjectType node, e.g. addUser, addAccount, etc. It accepts a single argument that is the object to add. Related objects will be added as well, e.g. specifying accounts in the addUser input will add the account objects.

• Add or update object: objects with primary key defined have an updateObjectType node, e.g. updateUser, updateRealmFile. It accepts a single argument that is the object to update. Partial updates are also allowed as long as the primary key value is specified.

• Delete objects:

  • Objects with primary key defined have a deleteObjectType node, e.g. deleteUser, deleteRealmFile. It accepts a single argument that is the primary key of the object to delete. Returns true if object was deleted, false otherwise.

  • All object types have a deleteObjectTypes node, e.g. deleteUsers, deleteAccounts, etc. It accepts a single optional argument - query that will be used to filter objects to be deleted. If not supplied, all objects of this type will be deleted.

For more information on how to use mutation see the GraphQL documentation.

Subscription

To subscribe for change notifications, start with a subscription node. The schema of the Realm file is automatically used to generate the GraphQL schema that exposes the following operations:

• Subscribing for queries: all object types have a pluralized node, e.g. users, accounts, etc. Every time an item is added, deleted, or modified in the dataset, the updated state will be pushed via the subscription socket. The node accepts the following optional arguments:

  • query: a verbatim realm.js query that will be used to filter the returned dataset.

  • sortBy: a property on the object to sort by.

  • descending: sorting direction (default is false, i.e. ascending).

  • skip: offset to start taking objects from.

  • take: maximum number of items to return.
