gqt 0.53.0

GraphQL client in the terminal.

Build and execute GraphQL queries in the terminal.

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

Installation

pip3 install gqt

It’s recommended to install bat for pretty output.

Controls

• Navigate with arrow keys.

• Select fields with <Space>.

• Toggle between argument selection and its value with <Tab>.

• End with <Enter>.

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
{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 very well.

• Fragments and unions are not implemented.

• Mutations and subscriptions are not implemented.

• And much more.

Ideas

• Show GraphQL API documentation.

• Mutations?

• Subscriptions?

• Arguments and variables:

  For required arguments without default value:

  ■: non-null value
  $: variable

  For required arguments with default value:

  □: omit
  ■: non-null value
  $: variable

  For optional arguments:

  □: omit
  ■: non-null value
  $: variable
  n: null

  Scalar example:

  ╭─ Query
  │ ▼ standard_library
  │   ▼ package
  │     ■ name: ""
  │     □ name
  │   ▶ packages

  List example:

  ╭─ Query
  │ ▼ item
  │   □ kinds:
  │   ■ kinds2:
  │     [0] ■ a: "foo"
  │         ■ b: "eq"
  │         ■ c:
  │           [0] ■ a: "x"
  │               ■ b: "y"
  │           [1]
  │     [1] ■ a: "bar"
  │         ■ b: "ne"
  │         □ c:
  │     [2]

  Input example:

  ╭─ Query

  │     ■ unit: "metric"
  │     □ width:
  │   □ length
  │   □ weight

  Variables example:

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

  Print the variables:

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