NunoSempere comments on GraphQL tutorial for LessWrong and Effective Altruism Forum

[NunoSempere]

I’ve come back to this occasionally, thanks. Here are two more snippets:

To get one post

{
        post(
            input: {  
            selector: {
                _id: "Here goes the id"
            }      
            }) 
        {
            result {
            _id
            title
            slug
            pageUrl
            postedAt
            baseScore
            voteCount
            commentCount
            meta
            question
            url
            user {
                username
                slug
                karma
                maxPostCount
                commentCount
            }
            }
        }
}

or, as a JavaScript/​node function:

let graphQLendpoint = 'https://​​forum.effectivealtruism.org/​​graphql′ //​ or https://​​www.lesswrong.com/​​graphql. Note that this is not the same as the graph*i*ql visual interface talked about in the post. 

async function fetchPost(id){ 
  //​ note the async
  let response  = await fetch(graphQLendpoint, ({
    method: ‘POST’,
    headers: ({ ‘Content-Type’: ‘application/​json’ }),
    body: JSON.stringify(({ query: `
       {
        post(
            input: {  
            selector: {
                _id: “${id}”
            }      
            }) 
        {
            result {
            _id
            title
            slug
            pageUrl
            postedAt
            baseScore
            voteCount
            commentCount
            meta
            question
            url
            user {
                username
                slug
                karma
                maxPostCount
                commentCount
            }
            }
        }
}`
})),
  }))
  .then(res ⇒ res.json())
  .then(res ⇒ res.data.post? res.data.post.result : undefined)  
  return response
}

To get a user

{
  user(input: {
    selector: {
      slug: "heregoestheslug"
    }
  }){
    result{
      username
      pageUrl
      karma
      maxPostCount
      commentCount
    }
  }
  
}

Or, as a JavaScript function

let graphQLendpoint = 'https://​​forum.effectivealtruism.org/​​graphql′ //​ or https://​​www.lesswrong.com/​​graphql. Note that this is not the same as the graph*i*ql visual interface talked about in the post. 

async function fetchAuthor(slug){
  //​ note the async
  let response  = await fetch(graphQLendpoint, ({
    method: ‘POST’,
    headers: ({ ‘Content-Type’: ‘application/​json’ }),
    body: JSON.stringify(({ query: `
       {
  user(input: {
    selector: {
      slug: “${slug}”
    }
  }){
    result{
      username
      pageUrl
      karma
      maxPostCount
      commentCount
    }
  }
  
}`
})),
  }))
  .then(res ⇒ res.json())
  .then(res ⇒ res.data.user? res.data.user.result : undefined)  
  return response
}
