GraphiQL: How to populate all fields

6
votes

Is there a way (or a shortcut) to populate all fields of a Query?

Let's take https://graphql.org/swapi-graphql/ as an example.

I know that by ctrl + space I can invoke the autosuggest. enter image description here

But what if I wanted to populate all of the fields (name, height etc..) without having to manually type them out?

Execute the query without specifying the child fields

graphiql will kindly fill in each field for you. In your case:

{
    person(personID: 1)
}

will autocomplete to

{
  person(personID: 1) {
    name
    birthYear
    eyeColor
    gender
    hairColor
    height
    mass
    # etc...
  }
}

Generally, if you enter the base type without the paramaters like shown below the fields will populate when you "Ctrl-Enter or press the play button" directly after it. Strangely, I don't see it happening on that example url provided but it is functioning for me using a GraphpliQL interface that I am using through Prismic.

{
    person
}
