Filter with GraphQL

To use this HowTo, first clone the Star Wars demo into your team on TerminusCMS. You will then have full access to the data needed for this tutorial.

Using a Filter

Once you have Star Wars, you can enter into the data product and you can type the following in the GraphQL query panel:

Let's choose homeworld

query{
   People(filter: { label : { █ }}){

   }
}

Type Ctrl-c and you'll be given some filters which can be used to constrain the label field.

Let's choose a regex which demonstrates the fondness the creators of Star Wars had for the 'oo' sound.

query{
   People(filter:{ label : {regex: ".*oo.*"}}){
      label
      homeworld{
        label
      }
   }
}

This results in:

{
  "data": {
    "People": [
      {
        "label": "Roos Tarpals",
        "homeworld": {
          "label": "Naboo"
        }
      },
      {
        "label": "Yarael Poof",
        "homeworld": {
          "label": "Quermia"
        }
      },
      {
        "label": "Plo Koon",
        "homeworld": {
          "label": "Dorin"
        }
      },
      {
        "label": "Dooku",
        "homeworld": {
          "label": "Serenno"
        }
      },
      {
        "label": "Sly Moore",
        "homeworld": {
          "label": "Umbara"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
