Operations¶

Terminology¶

Operation

Any GraphQL (query, mutation, subscription) request made to v1/graphql endpoint of a GraphQL engine instance

Operation name

(Optional) Any GraphQL request can be labelled with a name by the client making the query. In this example, getPollOptions is the operation name:

query getPollOptions (
  poll {
    options {
      id
      name
      description
    }
  }
}
