Don't confuse the operation with the actual field being queried. The syntax should look like this:
operationType [operationName] [variableDefinitions] {
selectionSet
}
where operationType is one of query, mutation or subscription, operationName is an arbitrary name for your operation used in debugging, variableDefinitions are type definitions for any variables you reference inside the operation, and selectionSet is one or more fields you're actually querying.
In this case, search is a field we're querying, so it should not be proceeded by the query keyword. This works fine, provided you're authenticated:
query OptionalName {
search(first: 10, type: ISSUE, query: "repo:angular/angular is:issue state:open") {
issueCount
edges {
# more fields
}
}
}
If the operation type is query, you can omit the query keyword altogether. This is called "query shorthand":
{
search(first: 10, type: ISSUE, query: "repo:angular/angular is:issue state:open") {
issueCount
edges {
# more fields
}
}
}
If you use variables, define them inside parentheses beside your operation. Variable names are arbitrary, but by convention we use the input field names they will be used in:
query OptionalName ($first: Int, type: SearchType!, $query: String! ) {
search(first: $first, type: $type, query: $query) {
issueCount
edges {
# more fields
}
}
}
