Specs

run(
  binary() | Absinthe.Language.Source.t() | Absinthe.Language.Document.t(),
  Absinthe.Schema.t(),
  run_opts()
) :: run_result()

Evaluates a query document against a schema, with options.

Options

  • :adapter - The name of the adapter to use. See the Absinthe.Adapter behaviour and the Absinthe.Adapter.Passthrough and Absinthe.Adapter.LanguageConventions modules that implement it. (Absinthe.Adapter.LanguageConventions is the default value for this option.)
  • :operation_name - If more than one operation is present in the provided query document, this must be provided to select which operation to execute.
  • :variables - A map of provided variable values to be used when filling in arguments in the provided query document.
  • :context -> A map of the execution context.
  • :root_value -> A root value to use as the source for toplevel fields.
  • :analyze_complexity -> Whether to analyze the complexity before executing an operation.
  • :max_complexity -> An integer (or :infinity) for the maximum allowed complexity for the operation being executed.

Examples

"""
query GetItemById($id: ID) {
  item(id: $id) {
    name
  }
}
"""
|> Absinthe.run(App.Schema, variables: %{"id" => params[:item_id]})
