Querying with Enums
Now, we may include a task’s status in our query when we want to know more about it. When GraphQL displays a status, it will ensure that it corresponds with one of the options we have configured in our enum. Thus, we don’t need to be concerned about receiving strange or unexpected data back.
When we want to get information about a task, we can include its status in our query:
query {
task(id: "123") {
id
title
status
}
}
Explanation: GraphQL will make sure that the status it gives we matches one of the options we have set up in our enum. No surprises!
Enumeration Types in GraphQL Schema
In the area of GraphQL schema design, enumeration types play an important role in defining a structured set of values for specific fields. Enumerations serve as a means to restrict the possible options for a field, ensuring data consistency and clarity throughout an API. In this article, we will explore the concept of enumeration types in GraphQL with their importance through practical examples and use cases.
